This knife was found buried on the side of a hill at the site of an elementary school in Big Sur, CA; it was given to me by the principal because he knew that I collected knives. It obviously was…Continue

Picked up my first Bear & Sons pocket knife, a #354 1/2 Little Trapper in Yellow Delrin & CV blades, (3" closed). My local Ace Hardware franchise has semi-annual 20% off everything sales, and…Continue

A new acquisition. I collect Camillus-made Buck 300 series knives, and though I already have a CC-made 317, (the equivalent to this knife), I thought it would be nice to have both the Buck and…Continue

"Looking good, very good! I have been meaning to get a current Buck family portrait, but it's so many knives, (30+ haven't counted for awhile), so little time to find them and arrange them."
"I like the lined bolsters with the big XX on it as much as the handle material/jig/color."
"That's pretty! Never heard of a "Crandall jig", now I know what it looks like, but of course I MUST HAVE ONE!!"
"Not sure what to say, other than these idiotic fuel prices my life is much the same. Being a musician I spent lots of time practicing, but since I have been single for years I'm used to being alone. My local family and I continued as usual,…"

No more mask mandates, so it's nice to actually see folks faces again isn't it?However, collecting didn't stop and here are a couple of new ones. A Craftsman 95068 Stockman Buck clone and a Camillus Buck clone. I have been looking for a 300 Series look-alike Camillus for years, and though I had seen photos this is the first I've seen that looked exactly like the Buck 300 Series knives made by Camillus up to 1986. The Craftsman looks more like a Schrade knife to me, mainly from it's thin…See More

"Dang Old Ugly Guy, those brass bolsters are awesome, and the oak handle is cool too, and you will love that 5160 steel. Nice knife, I am green with envy."
" Ugly Old Guy is right about Buck, a "forever" warranty means exactly forever to them, but like he said sometimes they can't replace or repair older models, especially those made by other manufacturers, (Camillus for example),…"
"Great post Syd...welcome back! Very cool info too.
What you stated about sending your Buck #305 makes since. My whole family is into the the "original state" of things. My dad sent his Rolex in for cleaning and a tune up - came back with…"
Gone But Back With Bucks Of Course!
Been away for awhile, just got busy musically lately so have been a bit distracted with that after a 10 year absence, but of course collecting knives is still a passion, nothing has changed there. I have even lost track of all the knives I have gotten since my last post, but here are the knives I most recently got, there were a few others but I will post them when I get the chance. I have had a "thing" lately with Buck 310 Whittlers, (love 'em because they are rare and cool), and though they…See More

Found this Camillus-made Buck #333 Toothpick SFO on the bay in a very poorly listed and photographed listing, watched it and ended up getting it for about half of what I paid for the other one I already had. Oh well, the more the better I guess.
I'm out of control!

Here we go again, the first photo shows just what arrived today, but there are more coming, (egads!!). Two Buck #112 Slim Selects, (in different colors so I can color coordinate. Doesn't everybody do that?), a new Buck offering, a #891 Spear Point fixed blade with 5160 Spring Steel blade coated with ceramic Cerakote for durability and rust prevention, and comes with hand stitched tactical sheath. I don't usually buy fixed blades, but I have been more and more interested in them lately. I…
