All About Pocket Knives

Dogg, here in the eastern zone of NC we have the longest rifle season in the state (and a bow hunter can hunt in all three seasons with their bow). Here are the 2012 seasons in the eastern zone.
Archery: SEP 8 - SEP 28
Muzzleloader: SEP 29 - OCT 12
Gun: OCT 13 - JAN 1

Dogg, found this one today in a box of Case knives tang dated from 1979 - 1981; antique dealer said they all came from one estate. I am guessing this Buck 309 is from the same era as the Case knives (a month or so back I got a Buck 303 from this same estate). All of the knives are unused, but have some wear marks from being in drawers or boxes without any packaging to preserve them. This 309 is from the pre-dated Buck era as made by Camillus. OH

MAN OH she is quite the find I love that main blade

Long pull flat grind REALLY trips MY trigger!

Thanks guys, it is a nicely made but really small knife (3") - it would be perfect in dress slacks for carry while at church, weddings, in a dress uniform, etc. I am building a small assortment of sizes from the Camillus-era, I have these so far: 309, 303, 301, 321, 317. Now I need a Camillus-era Buck that is longer than the 301 and shorter than the 317 - I want to do a "stair-step" photo/display of Camillus-era Bucks - for looks I prefer the flat grind blades too. OH

307 Stockman, frequent on the bay......300

Hey 300B, funny you mention that knife - sat here last night and did ebay and other searches and I came up with several 307 "Wrangler" auctions. I will have something soon. Thanks, OH

I now work in a pawn shop and these two caught my eye. Scored them both for a whopping 15 dollars. The fixed blade is a model 120 and dates from 1988 and the model 110 is as new and has a 2012 mark.
I bought them because I like bowies and the 120 has that style. As for the 110, I recollected tht I had never had one! Here they are now!

stayinsharp, was that a case of "insider trading"? Great deal! Treefarmer

Uh, yeah it was. I had them priced out and ready to put on display and asked him what kinda deal we could make on them. He asked me what we had in them. I looked it up and we had 5 in the 120 and 8.50 in the 110. He said give me 15 and we'll call it good. Ya gotta love a boss like that!

Sounds like a great boss to me. I hope the Security and Exchange Commission doesn't learn of your insider trading - you could be in big trouble - of course you could get to know Bernie Madoff! Very nice Buck knives and a terrific deal - nice snag! OH

Here is a very pretty fixed blade 102 a friend gave me recently.

Thats a nice set-up Beechtree

I'm with you Dogg; Beechtree's 102 is a classy knife - the wood handle with brass hardware is hard to beat for good looks.

OH;Did ya get to put the 113 to a deer yet??

Not yet Dogg - yesterday was our opening day; I let a little doe walk at 0730 (she was around 50-60 lbs). It is just as much work to clean a 100-110 lb. doe and you get much more meat. If it was DEC 29th and I was in need then I would have dropped her, but got lots more days coming up (such as this TUE/WED & FRI). I'll post a picture, of that you can be sure! OH

Thanks Old Timer and garddogg56, it sure is hard to beat the contrast of brass and wood together. The handles are something to look at. It was a very nice present to receive.

Breaking news - doe down, Buck 113 ready for workout, more to come in our next report! Stay tuned.

Nice deer OH!!

Just ordered this from eBay.......USA 110, nothing too special. It's for my brother who likes them as EDC.


IM

Congrats on the doe OH!
Let know how the 113 performed....did ya cut out the backstraps and cook 'em up while still warm? mmmmmm...gettinng hungry just thinking of the sizzle!

Thanks for all the well wishes - I put my Buck 113 review in the New Product Announcements & Review sub-forum; good knife!
PS. you are a good brother IM, that is a nice gift! Mike, no backstraps from this one - all going into sausage - the next one will be parted out.

Way to go OH, I read and commented in the other thread.

You just never know when you will find something that has been laying around for years, un-needed by the original owner. One of my customers, who is a fellow hunter and all around good guy, knows I like Buck knives - he saw this one in a pawn shop about three weeks ago, brand new and still in the box. He bought it and held it for me - I got it today (and gladly reimbursed him the $40 he had in it!). This is one I didn't have, a Buck 118; my collection of traditional Buck fixed blades is slowly growing. This one is a pre-86, no date marking on the blade. OH

Great score OH! I like the little "false edge" or swedge cut at the very tip end of the blade spine...looks like that could provide for some real detailed cutting and or skinning. Beautiful knife.
