I would say they have great potential to do so. Since I don't often place my thumb in such a position, they probably wouldn't bug me much. Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for watching!

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
I added three to the fleet with one click. Stumbled across listing on eBay for three knives in unboxed but unused condition. Less than $100 for the pile, I couldn’t resist.
I’d been thinking about a 119 for a long time. Now I can think about something else.
I’d never buy a Decatur on its own, being Chinese made, but since it was included I’ll give it a spin.
And 110s are like potato chips, you can always have one more!

Willie, that would’ve been a hard deal to pass up - nice couple of Buck Knives. OH

My new Buck 500 with it's second cousin. I've wanted one for a while so ordered it from Copper & Clad. I gotta say I'm not really impressed. I'm used to a 110 or 112 so the 500 seems a bit less sturdy? I know it's not but that's the impression it gives me. It is nicely finished so I'll use it for dress...but I never dress up!

I recently got my first 500 and I can understand your impressions. It's a great knife and very well made but the standard 112 blows it away. The in-hand feel is no contest. I like my 500 and I would probably love it if I didn't have a few 112's to compare it to.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
I just ordered a LNIB 110 LT off Ebay, should have it in a day or two.Why,because I don't have one and they use a real 110 blade unlike the new 110/112 light weight models.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Hi John. I really like this knife. It is a little over 4" closed and has G10 handles. Not sure what the blade steel is, but it is very sharp. The flipper action is really good.

I love it, but I'm partial. Carries nice. Works like a Buck Knife. Other than an axe I made this today and used this knife...Old Hunter wrote: ↑Tue Jun 29, 2021 10:42 amNice Scott. How do you like it so far? Been on any adventures with it? OH

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Don't have photos but, I just bought a new 301 rosewood to replace the one I gave to the TSA a couple years ago. My daughter and SIL gave it to me so I wanted to replace it. In looking for the replacement I bought a 303 rosewood too. Then I read about Buck and how they started and I had to have a 110. I have a Buck skinner398. I also bought a Walmart canoe( Hey,I like it to carry it)
Next I would like to get a 55 and a 119.

Buck 112 Drop Point. Indigo Blue and 420HC steel. Nickel Silver frame. This was a Copper and Clad Exclusive but I bought it elsewhere.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Very nice 112. I don't want to know how much it costs because I already know the SFO's are too pricey for me!
I just got these in. They were in a bundle and I paid more than I would have liked but really wanted to get into the 500 series and for the price of one brand new one from Buck I got these 3 plus the 305 folder and a 180 crosslock too.
And it turns out I really like the 501. Its just a slim knife but you get alot of blade in your pocket. But that being said I love the 503 and 505 as well. Definitely prefer the older ss bolsters though. As well as that old english script on the tang stamp. I also have the Schrade LB series knives and the 505 lines up with the LB-3 very well (and slimmer to boot) and is a better knife in my opinion. And the 501 is about the same size as the LB-5 and again I prefer it over the Schrade. I guess it makes sense as I also prefer the 110 over the LB-7 but they are all very good knives.
I have a question on the the 305 Lancer though. It looks like one that Buck would have made themselves (not a camillus contract) but there is no date stamp. Would this indicate a 1985 knife? (as I thought all Buck 1986 and up were dated and I've read that Buck assumed production of the 305 in late 85) The "BUCK" script inlay shield would be correct, as well as the lack of scale pins, but I've not seen another with those features but no date code.

Rustof, you are correct. That is the first version produced by Buck in 1985.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Found a low mileage 701 last Saturday morning at a yard sale. Obviously used very little, and for $4 I couldn’t go wrong. Clearly they didn’t put much thought into what they were selling!
Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Wow, Willie...you picked up a very nice 701 Mustang. For a knife that went out of production in 2001, that one is in GREAT condition. I agree...the sellers didn't know what they had. This knife is selling now between $90.00 0 $110.00. A very nice pick up for $4. You are a yard sale winner!
Congrats on procuring a fine knife.
