300th Buck Knife

[DeSotoSky]

I don't know wether to be proud or ashamed. I was entering a recent acquisition into my database and realized it was the 300th entry.

Yep,

I know what you mean.....$70 is a real steal It's a sweet knife, did it come with a box & card?

This one came naked. I have a number of the etched knives that came without the jewel box. Wish I could buy some. Opening and closing these knives is a real issue for me. I hate to "smilie" them, even some of the non etched ones. Storage is a problem though leaving the knife open.

Nice knife for that milemarker Desoto :thumbup:
One option for storing knives open would be in a padded roll. If sewn with the pockets spaced and a flap to come down from the top to cover the blades, they would be well protected.

DeSoto,

300 Buck's is a big number, i'd say your hooked. When I find some time i'll look in my pile. I got a knife a few months ago and it came with the wrong COA....I think it's a Stonewall Jackson and I don't have a knife with that etch.

Well done, my wife will have killed and dismembered me long before I hit 300.

I REALLY wish you wouldn't have started this thread!! It made me go count my Bucks and just like you, it doesn't look good.

No way!

It needs too long to count my knives ...

From the very beginning I kept a database with information on every knife in my collection so the counting is easy.

yes i agree with Habbie takes a long time to count
but the lawyer said i had to count them over a year ago
total was over 300 then so i know how many that is
most are 110's of some kind no i dont know how many i have now
what is that data base program you are useing
seems i need to do that
btw that is a nice 110 .. i paid more for mine likt that
good luck counting
some one has a zig line of if you know how many you have you dont have enugh...

I refuse to count mine. But doubt it comes close to 200, much less 300. And that may be a good thing

Well done! Great knife, and one of my favorite Civil War Generals.

Off topic, I know, but I had to comment:
I was told the same thing for my knives, and tools and heirlooms as well. We'd had a series of burglaries around Concord here, and I looked into insurance.

I just started putting down what I remembered, as it came to mind, and within a couple weeks I was up to 200+ knives. As of now, I'm at 500+, that I've owned, traded, sold, gifted, lost, etc. Then I see a Buck Stonewall commemorative, and another is added to the want list.

You might have to add 5...I like to think in terms of sets, that I know of... JEB Stuart, Stonewall Jackson, Lee & Jackson, Robert E Lee, and George Pickett. All were issues of 250 between 1988 and 1993. /Roger
