I agree with OH!!!Old Hunter wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 8:50 pmI am assuming you have a modern 301 (420HC blade steel). Several good methods are ceramic sticks, diamond sticks, or a Lansky using the medium stone. I set all of the above at 25 degrees and mine stay plenty sharp.

A strop makes a bigger difference than you might think. I recently got a strop paddle and it's that thing I've been missing to get it right. I had no idea it made this much of a difference.

My newest Buck 110. 4 pins 1976.
Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
That's a sweet looking 110, Tim. Looks to be in pretty good shape with lots of life left in it for a 76. Nice pick up.

Got this Buck 110 in the mail today from SMKW. They had $30.00 off on these and couldn't pass it up. First Production Run for 2019...1 of 500. NO individual Set. #'s. Black Micarta scales, Nickel Silver bolsters, liner & pins. 420HC / 58-59 HRC. Nylon Sheath. (will probably switch this out for a brown leather one)

LJ, I really like that Buck - took the best of the EcoLite style handles and upped their game - very nice!
David, as a fisherman I think that is a very cool knife. OH

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Thanks, Breeze and OH.
David, I've never seen a Buck knife with that design. VERY nice. That's something I would have picked up too, just because it's an 'eye catcher'.

Was able to get a 307 and a 301 new in the box. I've wanted a 307 for a while now. Now to find a 317.
Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Nice pick up on those two, Doug.

Nice pickUp on the Buck 307. The big Stockman pattern Buck’s are stoutly made and great outdoorsman’s pocketknives. A favorite of mine for taking hunting (along with a Buck 110). John, you need to find yourself one, nice ones pop up now and then at reasonable pricing. OH

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Thanks guys. I've just been offered a Buck 317 NIB but it's $125 from the same guy I bought the 307-301 from. I'm tempted but haven't made up my mind yet.
Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Well crap, I did it again! The last new in box 307 hasn’t even arrived yet and I bought another this morning. June is still several days away and I’ve already bought August’s knife...

I admire your self control if you normally only buy one knife per month.
