Got this 112 slim on the way through Denver last week. It'll go good with my 110 Smokejumper.

Nice! I have the 110 and love it. I almost bought the 112 version at Cabelas last week but got diverted by a shotgun.

I just picked these up not too long ago. I like the old Camillus barlows.

Those are awful nice knives. I'd have to carry one of them, probably both!

Here's my new Bucks a Vantage, because I didn't have a flipper and a 112 Slim with a drop point blade and pocket clip. I think I'll like the drop point blade. Question, the blade on the 112 is marked 044. What is the significance of that? FWIW it came from Copper and Clad.

Pretty sure that "044" is a serial number. From what I've seen, drop points, in standard steel, have been typically exclusive to them.

Normally, when Tractor Supply puts out Christmas knives in clam-packs, I wait until they're discounted heavily, typically close to, or right after Christmas. However, this set of a 285 Bantam BLW and 283 Nano Bantam had both been put out just this week. $20 for the set. My local knife shop, on the other hand, $20 for the 285, $15 for the 283. Couldn't help bringing it home with me the minute I saw it. Been wanting a 285 for quite some time, and I'm impressed; a lot. Already put it to use today. It's lightweight, but a good-sized knife. Just the right size. I may end up giving my great-aunt the 283. I already have an orange camo one, and she's been looking for a small pocketknife for her purse.

Appreciate the info! I didn't realize that. Nice score on your Bucks as well! Kind of addictive aren't they? Edit to add: I went to Copper & Clads website and sure enough they numbered the first 100 of production! I got #44!

The 103 is from 2003.

Thanks, first I had seen in that pattern.

503 with Elk Stag handles from the Custom Shop.

My Buck family is very small, just 3 with this recent addition. Chose it for its lightness, sharp blade, and good looks.

Old Hunter · Post by **Old Hunter** » Fri Oct 11, 2019 1:39 am

Rick, beautiful stag handles on (IMO) the perfect size gents knife - big enough to do the job and small enough to pocket easily but with the best scales - great knife! OH

QS, hard to beat the lightweight Buck's - I really like them for fishing knives. OH

I just ordered a custom SpitFire in WVU Let's go Mountaineers colors. Can't wait to see how this knife looks in hand.

Saw the ad for the customized Bucks yesterday. Interesting idea. Please post photos when your knife arrives.

QS looks like a very practical little knife.

Rick T. that is a gorgeous knife. I'm kind of partial to those elk covers.

John, I don't know how many 722 Spitfires you have/have had but it's my favorite Buck folder. Yes (for me) it even eclipses the ubiquitous Buck 110. I have/have had several 722 Spitfires and 721 Slimlines (SFO for Wal-Mart - same knife with some subtle differences). Be sure to post pictures when you get it.

Hmmm.......that's a pretty good endorsement. Might have to try one myself when funds permit.

Thanks for the info, Jerry! Pictures will be forthcoming.

722 & 721-Walmart comparison shot. As I said, subtle differences. The handles are shaped slightly differently and the 722 Spitfire blade has a Swedge where the 721-Walmart does not.

Old Hunter · Post by **Old Hunter** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 11:16 am

Don’t know if you are still collecting variations JerryD but yesterday I was in Academy Sports - they had a Buck 722 with a black handle and a red, Ceracoted blade. OH
