Re: The History The Edw. K. Tryon Company of Philadelphia.
Thank you for posting, Cuda. I don’t own any Tryon knives but I do own two Smith & Wesson revolvers that were shipped to E. K. Tryon Co., Philadelphia: a .38 “Regulation Police” that shipped to Tryon in 1919 and a .44 Hand Ejector, 2nd Model that shipped to Tryon in 1927. Both are collector grad...

What’s It Worth?... Inverted 3-line 119
Hello, knife-collecting friends! I don’t have a photo, (yet) but I looked one over recently and the 440-C steel blade looked nice, with no signs of heavy edge work. On the down side, the sheath is long missing. What say you, the Buck aficionados? Is this worth more than $20 or $30? (I’ll try to get ...

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Yet, another 110 w/sheath.
Nothing particularly special about this “4 dot,” I just like these old workhorses. And, even though I already had a comparable “4 dot,” it was just $17.
I just couldn’t pass it up.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Last week, I posted a picture in the 500 Series thread, but hadn’t actually purchased it until I went back two days ago. “It” is a Duke, 500 made in the early ‘80s. Has light handling marks but, appears unsharpened and was initially slow-closing at end of “snap.” After a couple dozen or so openings ...

If it locks up right I’d offer $20; if accepted, clean it up and put a new edge on it. Great car, truck, or tacklebox knife - 440C once sharp, is as good as it gets for a working knife.

I Passed on This One... See why?
As a fan of Buck lockbacks, in particular the 110s and 112s, I was really disappointed to see this... I’ve seen Bert’s 4 pin, 2 dot 110 picture and knew I just had to find one, some day! Well, I found one; the first one I’ve actually examined first-hand. Sadly, I had to pass on it. The blade looks l...

Re: Buck 500 series
Good to know, OH.
Unfortunately, it’s without box, papers, or sheath.
I walked away from it so, I could sleep on it. I don’t expect it will be scooped up too quick -it’s well hidden in a BIG store.

Rather begin a new thread for my question, I decided to just continue here, since this has to do with the 500 series. Here’s my question: Did any early, Old English script 500s have micarta scales?

Re: How Do You Clean / Enhance Ebony, Shedua?
Thanks to all the good responses, folks!
It looks like the best initial option is lemon oil.
It’s not that any of the wood I have on my old Bucks is overly dirty, but if it makes the wood grain “pop,” then I want to give it a try.

Re: 4 Dot 110, My Latest Buck
I have a good example of a 4 dot that is used in deer season, but for me i prefer a 2 dot. I like the 2 dots, as well... Mainly, because I like the old non-radiused handles found in the 1970s time frame. I know they’re not as ergonomic, but I think they just look cool. 8) Of course, blade steel is ...
