Some very nice pieces shared in this thread. Thanks.

The only Buck Creek I have is a very recent joint Buck Creek/Buffalo Creek Physician's knife. It has both Buck & Buffalo tang stamps and escutcheons with lovely stag scales. Hand made in Germany.

Apologies for the poor pic.

Heres a recent one. old style christmas tree diamondback. It showed signs of outgas but was in a display with some roosters that were definately gassing so just cleaned it up and see if it turns again if not it was just the roosters sharing the pain.

Hows the pic look? Playing with a new photo editor.

Kaleb,
I figure when you can see the bevel on the blade edge it's a pretty sharp, clear picture and I can definately see that on your knife. Good pic.

Good lookin' knife too.

Now where's jrlw1969? It's his turn again.

This one does not compare to a couple of other much older BC's that I have. In fact when the main blade on this ones snaps shut, the edge of the tip hit the spring.

The springs are stout and it is polished up though..

I only have one Buck Creek knife;a swing guard with celluloid scales.Bought it brand new and in less than a month the blade started showing signs of corrosion.Looked like celluloid breakdown but the scales looked undamaged.Should have returned the knife but decided to clean off the corrosion and keep it.
Seemed like about every 3 months or so the corrosion would return but the scales still looked good.They still looked good the day I went to close it and the entire rear bolster and part of the liners broke away from the rest of the knife.
Inspection revealed that even though the scales looked OK they were in fact outgassing and had corroded the brass liners to the point that when I pressed down on the lock they separated.
I wound up using JB Weld to re-attach the rear of the knife but the blade will not lock open any more due to no pressure on the spring.What a waste of a knife!
So this should be an incentive to VERY carefully inspect ALL your celluloid scaled knives periodically.See pictures.

thats a shame, I hardly trust celluloid anymore

Here's a trio of mint swinguards I recently acquired from different sources.

glenn · Post by **glenn** » Sat Jul 25, 2009 3:24 pm

Nice how old is the black one

muskrat man · Post by **muskrat man** » Sat Jul 25, 2009 4:14 pm

that's where i'm confused on these the blades are marked 90' 89' and 94' yest two of the knives has the older soligen shield. Tehy stopped use of that shield around '76 iirc. so I can't say for sure. maybe they used some old stock shields on them.

moonshiner · Post by **moonshiner** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 12:46 am

got one last week bear & bull,real nice 'wildcat fever' etched on the blade but the shield is missing,any body have a photo of one or know anything about the shield

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I just received a Buck Creek Whittler in "cracked ice" from a friend. The main Clip-point blade has a snake on it & it reads "Hand Made" & 93, along with being made in Solingen, Germany.

So, what keeps popping in my head is: Does the "93" denote the yr it was made? Also, I find it hard to believe these are actually hand made, so is that a marketing ploy? The blades on mine appear to be carbon blades (All 3, a Clip main, small Clip & small Pen blades). F&F is above average, snap's pretty darn good (Very firm, but not a nail buster).

So, overall, how are these knives? I've never heard of them until today (When I got this knife) & decided to research it on the net.

Thank you in advance for any info/opinions you can give me.

Owd Wullie · Post by **Owd Wullie** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 11:04 pm

Not real sure about the '93, but I can tell you that they are top notch knives that were meant to be used and go the distance.

muskrat man · Post by **muskrat man** » Wed Aug 26, 2009 5:06 pm

the number on the blade is generally the year

Gotta tell ya, with me being new to the knife world, I've never heard of Buck Creek. They are some pretty nice lookin knives....and the price is pretty good on the eyes too.
