Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?

Hoyt Buck produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt and his son Al moved to San Diego and set up shop as H.H. Buck & Son in 1947. Al Buck revolutionized the knife industry in 1964 with the infamous Model 110 Folding Hunter. The company's innovative history and attention to quality have made for many great collectible knives.

Now there's a pair to draw to. Did those come as a Twin-Finn type pair or were they bought individually? Handsome to say the least.

I must agree with Jerryd, those are most certainly a handsome pair.

Thanks for the kind words. These are 1 off knives. AFAIK, they are the only 102/121 Cherrywood/aluminum knives ever made. The 121 has a 1997 date code but afaik it was made last week.

A friend went to Buck, pulled some strings and had them made for me. Kind of funny, they came in Buck boxes but no spec label. I've been working on a set now all I need is a 105. The 117 is a special knife too, only a handful of those were made.

Picked up a Buck 110lt. Definitely very light to carry wich is why I bought one. Very slight side to side blade play. You can actually feel the pivot pin on one side move around when moving the blade side to side. Also not the sharpest Buck I've gotten. Wouldn't shave hair but a decent working edge. Not overly impressed with this one.

Walmart had this ASCEND LT 715 on clearance for 15.00 dollars. Too good a deal to pass up. This is actually my first Buck. I am more of a traditional knife guy but refuse to pass on an American made knife for a good price. Haven't had it but for about an hour but it seems well made. Thin profile with lots of handle and plenty of blade. Think I might like this one! :)

Nice save. It looks very usable. Great job as it doesn't show to have been reworked. ::tu:: ::tu::

I'm going to have to run out to Wally World tomorrow to check and see if they have any left. I already have one but I like the knife and wouldn't mind having one or two on hand to give as gifts.

Stopped up in Indiana at a road side junk store on my way home today from Shipshewana and bought this Buck 119. Paid too much for it but I've never been a good bargainer. It has a small defect in the spine of the blade but I didn't see that until I got it home.

I got the last one at our local Walmart. They had a SOG and a GERBER on clearance as well. SOG 9 bucks and GERBER for 15 bucks. I went with the Buck. I seen your old post on your Ascend so I knew you had one. Glad to know you think alot of yours.

I found this Chinese Buck 382 Mini-Trapper and decided it would be a nice addition to my Mini-Trapper accumulation. Wood handles and a fierce snap, it's a very well built knife, especially for it's bargain basement price.
