    PLEASE, HELP ME MOVE THESE BUCK KNIVES TO SOMEONE THAT WOULD APPRECIATE THEM.

    I HAVE 2 sets of 6 piece cactus filled handles steak knife set from Buck.  Less than 10 sets ever made by Buck.  These sets were presented to top Buck Knife Sales Representatives in the late 1970s over a 2 year period.  These knives are in a presentation box and are in great condition as they were the day awarded by Buck.  These sets have been priced by long time Buck Knife collector at $800.  We are asking $675 each.  Pictures are available with a provided email address

    Thank you,  Pat Washmon   pwashmon@sbcglobal.net   817/ 494- 6698 central

    Thank you j.j.: hopefully this first problem will be easy, I’ve tried to leave comments on the “members online but I don’t or cant find a send button. I get an open aria above the members name that does nothing, then a text enter aria below with the happy face, but no send or inter button. What am I missing. thanks

    I think you’re right, I’m just happy I’m getting through. One of the things I tried to do was ask the question “is this the right site for stone blades” now I’ll try again. What do you think

  • Fred Mendes

    Thanks JJ

  • Fred Mendes

    Thanks JJ yes  those are very similar Most of the accessories are the same. My pliers are smaller in one set and I don't have the bigger pliers/cutters  that is in the other set. My case is different than both of those also.  Steve is going to help me post pictures. Thanks again

    The build time on that second Supersquirt was also reduced 'cause Abby got me that "mini mill" back around Valentine's Day.

     

    ‘tis far from finished .. got carried away contouring edges again. Now I’ll need to sink the 2 fnt bolster holes deeper & turn the screw heads down.  Currently .. UGLY .. but functions great.

    J.J.I spent a little time going through your pics. Quiet interesting. Your peach pit carvings are excellent. Your knives are quiet nice. I collected case toothpicks in small flavor, but have always wanted the Seahorse Whittler. There is something very special about the smaller intricate folders. Great collection. Thanks for the show.

  • Frank Stennett

    JJ, I bet the community knife makes you drool. How many are you getting? I bet you paid for that pattern to be chosen. Joke!

  • steve shugart

    Thanks for the welcome, what a great hat rack!

    JJ, I'm looking for something similar to a CASE 61154 (tiny trapper .. 2 3/8 closed, single blade) .. only scaled in wood. I'm not sure Case ever made one i.e. a 71154, 11154, or P1154. 

     I bought the Tiny Trapper in Carribean Blue for Ab when we were still dating. She just asked tonight if I could find one scaled in wood .. 'n I'm having ZERO luck. 

    It doesn't have to be CASE .. anything of decent quality would do. 

    Anything come to mind ????

    JJ .. thanks for looking !!! I posed the same quest to Jan .. she came back w/ a Peanut by Bear & Son's that's going to do the trick. Scaled in rosewood 'n about the right size  .. 2 3/4". 
    Yeah .. she does pick some difficult ones. I'm was pulling a total blank. 'n while I've a few Frost .. I agree .. while I knew what I was getting .. I  would never buy one for someone else. 
    Thanks again .. I'll post pics when it gets here. 
    I like what you did w/ the Opinel !!!   I imagine you've got to sharpen it often for whittling .. I do after abusing mine .. yard/garage/'n such ...BUT... they're inexpensive workhorses.

    Thanks again for looking, JJ !!!!
