110v 941 of 1000 Turkey Blade/Box

Lol @ Dave.


How many gold etched patterns did Buck offer? I know of the turkey one and the grouse one. I was thinking that I saw a whitetail one once, but I can't remember. Are they all from the same run of 1000? Or did they make 1000 turkey ones and then 1000 grouse ones and so forth? I'm thinking my brother's grouse blade was significantly lower number than mine... maybe down in the 200 range. I'll try to get ahold of him sometime this week. He's pretty hard to catch though... 12 hour shifts... one day off a week.
 
All selling must be restricted to the For Sale Areas.

When you solicite knives off newbies (this isn't the first time- right Ohen?) it hurts those of us who do pay for memberships to sell. *rant off*[/QUOTE]


welll......
i kinda agree with you ...
but lately i thunk i was told it was ok to ask to be emailed..
not sure were the socialy acceptable line is...
which will be a mater of opion...

I AM IN TO ETCHED BUCK 110'S !!*u*!!

the knife looks great and i WOULD like one like it and the grouse also !!!

EMAIL ME!!!!!

Dave,
I said I was fine with it... However your post only offered partial info on value. The rest of your post involved this quote above... I quoted it before you edited the last part out... Yes it is crossing a line...
For someone who pushed for the buck only forum and defended it to the end against all the other BF members who opposed it, and then helped to get all of the GOLD members to start it, yes it does offend!
And the part about a GI out of time...Thats all fine too but then you should have kept it OFF THE FORUMS. ( I still dont buy it by the way) If people circumvent the rules fine but then don't kiss and tell. EVEN if you did buy it from X6stringerX
(after he posted to Ken C. that he wasnt selling it on these forums)
Sorry about that, Ken. I didn't mean that I would post it here on the boards.


(yeah we are all that stupid:barf:)


why would you post about it and gloat???:confused:
If you wanna skirt the rules then skirt 'em, but please dont tell us.
When people email about pics of knives they wanna buy it is against the rules, maybe a mod should be informed instead of continuing the bad habits?
Maybe Spark should remove the email option from everyones profile and then this couldn't happen????
I don't know maybe I'm crazy...But the rules are there for a reason...

well i have not counted but there are many issues of gold etch bucks...
i would not be suprised if there were over 50 of the gold and 100 of the black etch...
the number of each varryes from as low as jest a few samples to 2000 or more...
most seem to be of 1000 or less...
and normanly each are seperate issues...
there are a few issues that come out as a set or as a 2 or more year issues
per some data i seen from the buck club the value starts to rise noticably faster on issues of 250 or less tho you can see some rise on issues of 500

again - what is it worth ...
you can only draw an estmate from obeservation..
and that only for insureance..
it was worth it to me to trade a more expensive knife for a lesser one
as i felt it was something i could do for one GI going to war...
i am glad it was the one i sent him that he took to the sand box ...

I am also fine with this but you say you received an infraction for this...
Why do it again and tell about it?


I feel I should clarify, I believe he was a Gi going to the sand box. The part I dont buy is that, is a legitimate excuse for anyone to break the rules...
 
i had NOT thought of the personal rep on this point tell you called me on it..
thanks ... i shall think on this quite a bit... again i stand justly corrected..

Not that it is any of your business, bu I was actually going to put it on ebay. There are far too many good forums around to let one with a couple forum nazis ruin my day. I'm sure there are quite a few good members here, but I won't be sticking around to meet anymore of them if this place is ran like a prison camp. I imagine you guys have lost quite a few members if everyone has been treated this harshly.
 
easy my new friend ...
this is a nice place and i am sure you would like it here.. wh4f- he was jest remind ing me of a higher moral standard that i once champaioned my self... which is his to do and the one froum mod/ and buck sponser -
Joe did give me a polite nugde by takeing away my sweet after dinner mint.i realy posted in a jokeing maner and realy did expect you to list on ebay looking for the top buck you could get and would have helped you wright your listing...
i feel i did not cross a 'firm' line
there are several of us that make deals with each other and mention here on it ...
not that we are here to make deals but we do and deals happen
you did not know this was frounded on ...
so dont feel like the bit dog they are nibbleing at me..
i may not have broken any hard rules but i can see were it may look ...odd

had i intended a shady deal no one here would have known...
after alls i hides my shine quite well...

it could have simply been i had some advice for him on selling on ebay...
i give lots of advice... most is not lissened to ...

No forum Nazis here,
Just stating my thoughts on the topic... There are rules for all and when some "bend" them it gets old. I paid my dues to sell here and others (not you) think its a joke. Thats all...

Oh and by the way... It didnt get listed on ebay did it... :)

Your "intent" and what really was happening are 2 totally different things. (rant off) :D
 
X6...

Your "forum Nazi" statement was funny. :)

NO BUCK FOR YOU!!!!!

Dave,
I was always cool ;)
I am not mad or yelling at the screen! Its hard to convey actual "feelings" in an email or message board. I was mearly trying to explain my point. I didnt intend for anyone to think I was or am mad... Its a forum for cryin' out loud :D Yes I get up early, I work from 6-4. Great hours! Anyway, I feel like I posted my thoughts on the subject, Maybe I am too conservative... But a NAZI!!!!!!!! LOL- Thats a first! :)
 
All this being mature like adults rubs me the wrong way, I was hoping you'd both throw-a-fit and sell off your Buck collections:p;):D
 
So I debated even writing that last post, slept on it even. But I felt a ting of responsibility as the forum nazi to send a subtle message, a gentle nudge, to get us back on track. The great folks at Bladeforums allow us to have a forum here and I did not want to hurt that relationship.

Dave (I owe you a mint) and Jim are both awesome guys, both on my "glad to hear from" list. That list is made up of a lot of guys from this forum stringer and I hope you will stick it out and get a chance to meet them. I think it was just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time with your first post.
By the way, Buck has done many, many special projects over the years with gold etch and black etch blades. We did about 4 or 5 with that special box like the one you were showing. I remember one with a steam locomotive, one with a whitetail deer jumping over a log, the turkey one, and one with a loon.
 
:eek::eek:...OH WOW John! !...A Spam Rueben...I gotta get me some thick cut rye and some swiss tomorrow...I already got the Spam and kraut...( Burp )...:eek::o
