Re: PayPal love/hate

I don’t know if this helps because I’m only a personal seller and I don’t have a store. I shipped 3 packages last week that I sold on a different forum and all the buyers paid with PayPal. I plugged the tracking into Paypal for two of them but I forgot to do it for the third one. I never heard anyth...

Re: Do you keep a collection logbook/record? What kind?

I also use an Excel spreadsheet. Makes it easy to add and subtract knives as I buy and sell them. The “Auto Sum” feature also makes it easy to keep track of the total amount spent. ::tu:: Rick!

Re: numbered editions

I personally don't put too much emphasis on the serial number. At one time, I had two GEC knives that were different patterns and both were serial number 2. A 53 Cuban in Elk and a 68 White Owl in Elk. I have to confess that I thought that was pretty cool. I wound up selling both of them eventually ...

Re: numbered editions

Some collectors will pay a premium for #1 of a limited run. The lower the run quantity, the higher price they are willing to pay. With that in mind, many runs are not serialized. For example, you might have a knife that is one of 1,000 made but it’s not necessarily number one because the run isn’t s...

Re: What's Currently on Your Reading List?

I’m currently reading the first book in the Joe Pickett series authored by C.J. Box.

Included in the package were 12 books in the series and as if that wasn’t enough, he also toss...

Re: What's Currently on Your Reading List?

I recommend starting with the first of the series and try to read them in order. Although each one is written such that it can be a stand-alone mystery, there are some recurring characters that are introduced, especially in the earlier stories. Some are good guys, and some are bad actors who disapp...

Re: The start of an 112 obsession

My first 112 came to me as a Christmas present from my wife in 1988. It’s still in use, and I treasure it. I’ve added a few more over the years. Not seen in the photo is a recent acquisition - a very early 112 - which I recently sent back to Buck for an “S.P.A”. Next to my first one, my favorite is...

Re: 1999 Buck 703

Was looking for one of those for years. Then I found an almost-new script-tang one for cheap. Recently got a NIB 703 from pawnshop. Did the older script tang ones have 440C steel blades? I’m not sure when Buck stopped using the script font but they switched from 440C to 425M in mid 1980. Then they ...

Great pattern and nice knife.

I sure wish Buck would bring those back. Even if it’s just for a Buck of the Month or a Stealth Run.

Good knife you’ve got there.

I appreciate that Magnacut was brought to the market but corrosion resistance is more important to me personally than toughness.

Re: Now that auto's are legal in PA ... recommendations ?

Personally, I require a safety switch on autos that I’m going to carry in my pocket but that is just my own personal preference.

Aside from that. I agree with the Boker Kalishnikov suggestion. I have one and it’s well made. The price is just the icing on the cake.
