Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?

[KLJ77]

Thanks, Syd & Mike,

Keep an eye out on ebay...lots of members sell their BCCI knives, albeit, everyone I've seen has their BCCI member # engraved on the blade.

Nice looking Bucks, Mike. You picked up some beauties.

Walked into local pawnshop this morning and came out with a like-new Buck 703 Colt stockman. $10, no tax! Looks unused, blades have factory edges, all tight and have hard snap. Old English script "Buck" on the tang. Hardly ever see these that aren't worn out = I was on it like a chicken on a junebug!!

Holy cow. That's a steal

[garddogg56]

703 is a good sturdy stockman

My newest Buck is a 112 Slim. Why ? It was on sale and I couldn’t resist.

An estate sale find:

1989 Buck 110V w/Ebony Macassar handles. Still has factory edge/SHARP! Was kept in sheath, so bolsters have rub marks on them that won't come off, albeit, the bolsters did clean up fairly well. They were covered with green verdigris and the inside of the sheath had to be cleaned up due to same. Other than that...a nice addition to the Buck accumulation.

[jmh58]

Nice LJ. Send it to Buck for a SPA. Will come back looking new.

Nice LJ. Keep checking though, once the verdigris gets established in a sheath it seems to keep coming back. I’ve gone to wrapping the clean knife in wax paper and then sticking it back into the sheath for long-term storage. That has worked so far. OH

[KLJ77]

Thanks, OH...I've never thought of using wax paper to wrap knives in. I'll get that done right now.

Good Morning from Phoenix,
I picked this up at an estate sale yesterday for $50 bucks. Not a collector, but thought it was worth $50. Made in 1989 from what I can tell, V on the knife blade. Also, on opposite side of blade 164/1000. Perfect condition. Any ideas about the knife or what it might be worth? Appreciate any feedback that I can get. Thanks.

Greetings, Lee, Welcome to AAPK. Hope you stick around and join in.

Your Buck 110 is a Limited Edition series and more than likely, the gold etching was done by Aurum Etching...a well renowned artistic company who has done a lot of work for Buck. Your "deer jumping over log" knife is just one design of the wildlife series buck did. Some others involve Turkeys, some Bass / Trout, Ducks, etc., etc. You have a very low # LE knife that appears to be in very nice condition, if not NM - M. You also got a GREAT deal on this knife for $50.

If you conduct a search on ebay about your knife, you may find some others that have a price range. I saw that the "turkey" gold etched 110 was listed from $200 - $300, but that doesn't mean you'll get those kind of prices if you're looking to sell...or, maybe you would. I didn't find anything else about your knife, so good luck in whatever direction you decide to go. It's a very nice collectible.

Nothing fancy or custom, but the hits just keep coming anyway. 1993 #813 Workman, (daughter's birth year), that came with a Maglite double sheath, which fits this knife or even a #110, so that's cool. Also a 2014, (grandson's birth year), #501 in original sheath. Both knives are pristine and seemingly seldom if ever used or sharpened. Obviously I'm a sucker for birth year knives. I'd get one from my birth year but knives hadn't been invented yet so no cigar there.

Thanks LF, I will hang around. Are most of the limited editions in 1000 piece runs? I did an exhaustive search only found one on a site called worthpoint.com and they want you to sign up to their site to see the sale price. I assumed that it might be fairly rare because of the 1000 piece run. Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably add it to the decor in my RV. Although, I would sell it if I found a sale to compare it to.

[KLJ77]

Lee,

No, Buck does a myriad of different Limited Editions. Some may be a run of 100, 200, 500, 1000, 3000, and as high as 5000, depending on the model of knife being offered. Nevertheless, your 164 / 1000 is nothing to spit at. I have no doubt that; if you were to find the right person, you could triple your money on your LE.

The best way to determine a knife's value, is to do a "Completed Listings" search on ebay. Just search the model you want to investigate, then when results come up scroll down to the bottom left side of that page to a small box that says "completed listings" and click on that. Results listed in green are those that the knife actually sold for in the real world. Never ever believe a Buy It Now price on ebay as a source for price points, those are professional sellers who think they know what a particular knife is worth, but they don't actually know much of anything but want you to think they do, they are most often way too high than reality.

Quite a new addition(s) today. I missed getting a Buck #101 Hunter fixed blade, other than the #101 Fixed Blade BCCI Club Knife with Carbon Fiber Swirl Handles and S30V steel I have, but I wanted a "user" version. I emailed Buck and asked whether they were going to make any more #101's or the #111 Folding Hunter. They responded that those models were not in their immediate plans, and since I had missed getting a #101 from Buck at the BCCI price, I found then available at Copper and Clad, where they had one left in stock so I grabbed it. I also noticed they had one of their Buck exclusives, a #111 Folding Hunter with Sloped Brass Bolsters, Rosewood Handles and Stone Washed 420hc Drop Point Blade so I grabbed that too. I found out later that I got the only remaining knife so those are gone now too. The #101 might be available elsewhere, but neither Buck or C and C have them now, and they won't be coming back any time soon according to Buck. I didn't start out to get the last of the last anything, I was just responding to that irresistible addictive urge to buy more Buck knives, but fate rewarded me with these, (my credit card has run away from home because of this, but it will return when it gets hungry). I love the #111 by the way, now that's a cool Folding Hunter if you ask me. The #101 has Crelicam Ebony Handles and regular 420hc steel, but I think they make for a cool fixed blade. Both came with stock Buck Black Leather Sheaths. Why? Take a look at the photos and you'll see why.

BayKeeper,

Those are two GREAT additions that are hard to come by. Glad you were able to find them and pick them up. Back in February 2019, I had the opportunity to snatch up a Custom Buck 111 folder, 1 of 250, w/Serial # 111, (0111LM/SSP1-R) 05/13/2008 for $155.00. I got lucky on that one. In April of 2019, I was able to add the 101 to my collection. It was a President's Tour LE and has been signed by CJ & Lori Buck.

[Breeze]

Nice

I just picked up a 112 charcoal, drop point, 5160 from C&C:

Thanks, that #111 is truly a looker, sorry I spent the money but oh so happy I did, I will be hesitant to use it but that's why I bought it. I also am posting a comparison photo of both my #101's, the BCCI Club Knife is the one with two bolsters, swirly Carbon Fiber handles, S35V steel, (listed incorrectly above as S30V), but I think the reason I like the stock version so much is the lack of a back bolster, that gives it a distinctive look. I think the BCCI knife will be going in for a SPA treatment soon, even though it has never been used. It has been out on display for a couple of years so it has some tarnish on the bolsters that I can't seem to polish out by hand, I am sure Buck will be able to do that though.
