Two dot my favorite

Byrd, that’s a real clean example of a two dot Buck 112 - nice pickup! OH

Minty!! Doesn't appear to have seen much use at all.

Kinda wonder why Buck added the nail nick on later ones--honestly, I think it looks better without; and besides, it's unneeded.

Actually it's not minty...what you see is several hours of polishing with diamond stones and finer grits of paper. The blade was in bad shape from improper sharpening. I cleaned it up quite a bit to become a "user".

I like what you did with it. It’s headed towards being a flat grind. And the sharpening choil was well executed. It will be a fine user for sure.

Good eye eveled. That's exactly my goal with it.

Good score and nice work on it.

Found this 110 last week in a pawn shop, mixed in with some Bear knives. No sheath/holster. Don't think it's ever been sharpened.

Why? Cause the price was right.

Have a blessed day,

Leon, does a guy really need an excuse? And welcome to AAPK.

Received this in the mail today. I didn't have a 'new' stockman, so decided to go all "Merry Christmas" on myself. These are stock photos from BuckKnives site. It's the 301 Buck of the Month for December. I'm quite well pleased

The 110 and the 301 are beautiful the intent of the WHY?is for the knowledge of the reason for the purpose of your purchase

My newest Buck. A 117 braved the weather to come to my house. This could become my favorite EDC. It's a baby 119. Buck sharp.

The 117 is a GREAT all around knife, Byrd. Nice use of the snow to get perspective.

4.5" blade. Just about perfect when it comes to fixed blades, in my opinion. The Mora I carry for farm work is 4". Thus, I'll be picking up one of these eventually.

Found a 105 here for $25 shipped, and bought it just now. Will need to get a sheath, but it's not too beat up, and is 440C. While a smidge bigger than the 117, I couldn't pass it up for the price. From my experience, the only thing Buck uses today that is comparable in edge retention(other than S30V and D2, of course, which I don't have) is CPM154 used on the SK Blades exclusives. Sharpen it once, lasts a long time.

You'll like that 105. I've been carrying my new 117 all day instead of my 112 and don't even know it's there. Might handy knives!

Here is my newest. A 110 pro in post oak burl.

I've been on a little Buck buying spree since Thanksgiving. Too many good sales. First is an aluminum framed, drop point, pocket clipped, micarta handled 110. Really very pleased with this knife I've wanted one of these for a while. Then I bought a 303 of 1998 vintage at a gun show. No pic of this one. $15 and doesn't look like its ever been sharpened.
Then I bought this one because it was on sale and well, just because. Its a purple Buck 112! Finally I bought a 301 in Rosewood. Yes, it was on sale Think how much money I've saved

Great looking Bucks, Breeze. Glad you go some good deals on them.

Oh...and to AAPK.
