    Patrik, thats awesome!!

    Buck really did a good job on these knives, I have the Walmart version which is just a cheaper steel, but it has the laminate wood scales on it.

    I also have a Vantage that was Chuck Buck's own EDC. It's a pretty awesome knife to have, especially knowing who used it.

  • Patrik Ilijev

    Yes I can just agree with you Johnny at entry level select model you have everything what you need from an EDC a decent steel perfect pocket clip and nice handle material it is medium traction and the best thing is it does not rip your pocket. I also have the Avid and also a small select with paperstone handles. Looking forward to buy a Vantage Force model. 

    My both select model I have have a centering issue they prefer one side of the liner the Avid had better centering.  I think it was because it was a 2009 release I know that the current line has better quality control and they have less centering issues.

    Here is a neat little Buck that I forgot that I Had. It is the Summit

  • Patrik Ilijev

    Nice one Billy.

  • Billy Oneale

    Here is a camo buck that I always forget about.

  • johnny twoshoes

    I just got a new one the other day. New to me anyhow.

  • KENT GABLE

    Nice Buck, Johnny. What kind or number is it? I take it, it is not a lock back?

    A man just can't have too many knives-Buck or otherwise.

    Just picked up another Buck... Buck 118 pre-86'. I have to get me a SD card reader this weekend so i can post the pic's of the last 3 Bucks.

  • johnny twoshoes

    Sorry Kent, I just saw your post.

    It is a Buck 704 and it has no locking mechanism.

  • Patrik Ilijev

    I everyone I did get one of the new version Vantage select folder used but I managed to put on a scary sharp edge and repaired the centering of the blade . The paper-stone as a scales material is really nice. I do want to try out the new Vantage Force models but they are expensive at this point but they look promising.   

  • Patrik Ilijev

    Nice pair Pat.
  • johnny twoshoes

    Pat, my brother has one of those Buck NightHawks and he loves it. He also has a 119. It's the classic and the tactical, great knives.

  • Billy Oneale

    Nice pair, Pat.
  • Sunil Ram

    Nice couple of Bucks there Pat. I own a 119 also. Great knife.

  • Billy Oneale

    Iv'e been using this 4 1/2" Buck Bantam for my EDC lately. It came with a smaller 2 7/8" Bantam for under $18.00.  Iv'e had to touch up the blade a few times, but it has held it's edge really well.

    You Only Need one Buck

  • MJ Wallace

    James, Great photo of your 110.  At first I thought you had a chip in the blade...when I enlarged the photo I saw that you had cut a little into the sheath, not a chip after all.  "You Only Need one Buck" you may be right but I've got a few more than one!!  Mike

  • Sunil Ram

    Nice photo James. You're right; the 110 Folding Hunter is the ONE to own if you only get one or are just starting out. I have several of them now. This year I got the Chuck Buck Signature Series 110.

  • Sunil Ram

    I would like to remind you all to check your knives and your collections for maintenance. You might discover rust or discolorations or just stiff joints or something. So get out your polish and lubes and give those knives a good cleaning and checkup.

  • James Cole

    I bought my 110 in 1969 or 70.  It bit me in the leg one time when I was practicing one hand opens and closes.

  • Jan Carter

    Thorvan,

    Those buttons are way too cool, where did you find those?

    Sunil,

     Great advise, it is always good to keep up the maintenance

  • Thorvan Patten JR.

      I bought these on e-bay. I think I paid about $10.00. I really like these, there like little pins you would push into your display.

  • Sunil Ram

    Smoky Mountain Knife Works is having a 10% Off discount on all Buck Knives. Coupon Code: BU10. Also $7.99 standard flat rate shipping.

  • David Megnin

    I've been a fan of Buck knives all my life I guess.  I've collected a few, 10 or 12 300 series slipjoints.  I like the little 305s but I've got a couple 303s, 301s and 309s, too.

    I've still got a 110 and a 112 that I carried in the Navy twenty or thirty years ago.

  • Jan Carter

    I asked a friend what was in his pocket last week and it was the cutest little Buck I ever saw.  Couldn't resist taking some pics and thinking one of these would be nice in a ladies pocket :)

  • Billy Oneale

    Nice!
  • Jan Carter

    sure is Billy I am watching a couple on ebay.  It really does strike me as a nice knife a lady can carry, pull out in public and not freak everyone out

  • Gary Nelson

    Some new Bucks, 3 Buck Vantage and a Punk.  The Vantage are great for EDC and the Punk is made to last.  The sheath for the Punk is very adaptable.

  • Jan Carter

    Good Morning Buck group!  Can I ask for a bit of help?  We have a new member asking a Buck question and some of you may know the answers off the top of your head.  Would you be so kind as to look at it for me?

    Thank you, any assistance is appreciated.

  • Patrik Ilijev

    I saw many reviews of this knife. 

    The knife is looking nice I think all the collaborations that had Buck made are a Win for the average user or knife collector.  They chosen nice time proven materials the steel choice for a utility blade is outstanding it is nice has good corrosion resistance decent edge retention and was and is used by many custom knife makers even spyderco did used this steel on they higher end models back in the day before the powder and super-steels came.  I think this knife is definitely worth the money and will not let you down but be aware of fakes buck is targeted by China OEM knife producers because it is a widely known brand that offers affordable knives. 

  • Sunil Ram

    Steve, I believe it's a collaboration with Tops. There are 5 different models. http://www.buckknives.com/index.cfm?event=products.search&Searc...

  • MJ Wallace

    Here's an article on their collaboration with Tops from Bucks website (I found this in Buck's "News" link at the bottom of their Home Page):

    Buck Knives and Top Knives to Develop More Hard-Core Tactical Knives

  • Sunil Ram

    Buck has for a long time made military knives thru contacts with the military (bayonets) . But never made them for consumer retail. I think Buck getting into the military/combat/tactical/survival knives is a really good thing. And winning Best of the Best award from Field & Stream just shows that they are on the right track and much more goodies to come in the future.

    Anyone have a new one?  How about a Yellowhorse to share?

  • Sunil Ram

    I just got the TravelMate Kit. Seems cool. I haven't used it yet. Hope to find a good use/reason to use it soon so I can put it to work. Seems like it would be a great camping utensil. Although the plastic sheath does Not attach to a belt. That would be the one thing I would recommend they change. I see it is now again currently not available. So I just got mine in time. :)

  • Gary Nelson

    The Kalinga just might be my favorite Buck knife ever.  Nice Knife!!

    I had both the Kalinga and Akonua when I was collecting Buck knives around 27 years ago. They're both beautiful knives!

  • Gary Nelson

    Yes they are both nice.  The Kalinga feels the best in my hand.  Both are substantial knives.

      I don't know what I did wrong here but this knife has what appears to be a minuteman or a Revolutionary War figure on the handle any ideas? Has x on blade.

    Nice wood handles!

  • Sunil Ram

    Thorvan, the X indicates your knife was made in 1990. Not sure about the handle pic. I will have to investigate it more when I have time.
