I've been staring at the package since it arrived on 4/11. It's not my birthday yet but my wife had mercy and let me open it tonight.
I love it!

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Y'all probably think all I do is sing for funerals but here's another gift from a widow of a friend I sang a couple for. Art Bell was 89 and passed in January of 2021. His wife, Florence had already given me a really nice, bone, Case stockman and now she found this near mint,1990 (X), Buck 314 Trapper. First one I've ever seen; didn't know Buck made trappers. It's a big, 4-1/4" hoss. Thanks Flo, and Art. R.I.P. J.O'.
Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
VERY nice, J.O. What a piece of memorabilia from one of the greatest radio show host's of all time. That is a treasured piece. I didn't know Buck made a trapper either.
I apologize...I believe I'm thinking of the 'other' Art Bell.

The 314 Trapper was introduced in 1990 and production ended in 1998. In 1992, the spring rivet changed from brass to stainless steel. You have a nice example.Ridgegrass wrote: ↑Fri Jun 03, 2022 11:14 pm this near mint,1990 (X), Buck 314 Trapper. First one I've ever seen; didn't know Buck made trappers. It's a big, 4-1/4" hoss.

KLJ: Art owned a pretty big commercial plumbing/pipe laying operation. He was a bon-vivant of the highest order. I'm not kidding when I say he died a very young 89 year old. All good memories. J.O'.

Thanks berti. It has a little chip on the spey tip but I really don't care. Would you say BUCK made it or a contract? Thanks again, J.O'.

Fresh from the mailbox. It's quite a bit lighter than a standard Buck 112 due to the aluminum frame. I'm very pleased with it.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Happy father day guys
My lovely wife gut me a 50th anniversary 112 for the day and upcoming birthday
BUT on big disappointment it was sent out with a Mexico sheath not cool
The knife is perfect
This knife WILL be used when I retire as I started my career with a two dot .112. I will retire with a 112!!
Question;Do you guys think Buck would change out the sheath to the proud USA made one??

Nice knife and pics. The engraving is really cool and very thoughtful. I assume Buck would be happy to swap the sheath if they have any USA sheaths.garddogg56 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 2:09 pm Happy father day guys

Thanx Rick
I thought the 50th anniversary were originally sent with a USA sheath.

It seems that some of them were and some of them weren't. Mine also came with a Mexican sheath but others are stating that theirs came with a USA sheath.garddogg56 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:06 pm Thanx Rick

The Buck website states that the sheath is Imported.
