Nice DIW on your 55!Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Sun Jun 18, 2023 9:28 pm Got this Buck 055 yesterday. It’s this months Buck of the month. I like wooden handles and this one has ironwood handles. Plus it has 154CM blade. I really like this smaller size, very tempted to carry this one, of course my wife says I say that about almost every knife I get.

Thank you gentlemen. I like that it doesn’t have brass bolsters too. I don’t buy many knives with brass bolsters and Buck has put out quite a few with nickel silver bolsters so I have been collecting those.

Ahhh, a kindred spirit. Even though I have some, I too am not fond of brass bolsters.Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2023 10:44 am Thank you gentlemen.

They are okay if you don’t mind cleaning the corrosion off every few months, even with Ren Wax on them.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2023 11:06 amAhhh, a kindred spirit.

Just received these two.
The 102 looks unused,I’m happy with both.
Seems like a good size for an every day small fixed blade.

Just received these from KLJ77. Oh Momma, they are fine. Both new in the box and with leather sheath. To lazy to take my own pictures so I stole his.

Glad you like them, Jerry. It's a nice set. I appreciate the transaction. It's been a pleasure, for sure.

This ‘94 110.
I haven’t had one in the newer handle shape before and I liked the look of the wood and the different style pouch.
It has a bit of movement in the pivot but I’ll see if notice it much in use. Took a lot to get it sharp though.

This Buck 503 Prince came in the mail today. Wow, that was fast as I just ordered it last Thursday.
The knife features Mammoth teeth and ivory, polished nickel bolsters on one end, polished 420 HC steel, and was made apparently by one craftsman. It is 1 of 80.
Fit and finish are generally very nice, except there is a gap between the scale and the side of the knife at the end opposite the bolster. It has either a black filler underneath or that is just polishing compound in the gap. My concern is will that gap weaken the ivory and snao or crack the scale.
I thought about sending it back, but with such limited numbers made, I suspect it may be a case of accept it or refund, and I really like the knife.
