500th post Buck Knife Giveaway...a Customized/slimmed down 112 ...Dec 25th

Why do I love Buck knives? In a word, character. They are made by people with unquestionable character that stand by their product and put their customers first.
 
my dad liked 110's and 112's, my grandpa likes the stockman style of buck knives.

my favorites are the vantage and buck solitaire, i'm waiting for buck to come out with the 110 in black paperstone. i have the 112 in black paperstone.

i would love to try out an original style 112.
 
I'm in! Thanks for the chance! I love the bucks because of their old-timeness, if that makes sense. They look old fashioned, yet work well in any outdoor situation.
 
I would love to throw my hat in the ring.

If I win, this might be one to let my boy carry. I bought him a traditional slip joint, but the blades are not pinchable, and the springs too stiff for his tiny thumb nails to open.

He can open a thumb stud (I gave him a Buck cross lock with the edge and tip ground off when he was 3 years old). He is 6, and ready for a pointy real knife under adult supervision.
 
I like Bucks, mainly because there ain't nothing like a good old 110. So many tried, Buck still does it best when it comes to this design.

THanks for doing this. I will DEFINITELY carry it if I win.
 
Thanks for the chance. I like Bucks 'cause I have a couple of cheap Pakistani Buck 110 clones when I was 12 years old. They couldn't be sharpened. When years later, I got a real Buck 110, it felt like I could hear angels singing. Today, I think a 110 holds its own against any folding knife from any company and I love that it is made in the USA.
 
I actually don't have a Buck Knife yet, but my wife does, and always appreciated the feel it had in my hand and quality of the knife itself. I keep trying to get her to trade it or something, but no dice yet.
 
Awesome give-away! I love Buck knives for their fantastic USA-made tradition, their (in my eyes) unmatched customer service, and their ability to make my favorite knives at affordable prices. I also like how they have superior traditional knives, but they are not afraid to produce new knockout models that are more modern, like the Buck Vantage!

I have a Vantage pro which I carry daily, my first knife about ten years ago was a Buck 110, and I purchased a 55 about a year ago. The 112 and the 301 are the knives I've been looking at all year. Life-long Buck customer here.
 
Merry Christmas Sitflyer and thanks for hosting a great giveaway! :thumbup:

There's just seems to be something more 'authentic' and no-nonsense about Buck knives; especially with their classic models. There are just some days when I want to carry a functional, well-built and classy pocket knife (something with no plastic bits and bobs or 'tacticool' features that might otherwise clutter the design) and those are the days I reach for a Buck.

One of my favourites to date is the little 55 I picked up a little while back... very simple yet elegant. The 55 would be right at home in a pair of jeans or an expensive suit, imo.
 
I'm in...thanks! I love Buck knives today because a 300 series knife was my very first pocket knife as a kid!!

Merry Christmas!

Some of my fondest early memories in life are of strolling the aisles of a local flea market with my grandfather in search of chains, pry bars and buck 110 style knives which he referred to as "toad stabbers" for some reason.

I sure would love the opportunity to be a part of this give away. Thanks for the great gesture.
 
1,000 years from now, archaeologists will unearth Buck knives and marvel at their craftmanship, durability and beauty. That's why I love Buck knives and would love to have this beauty. Thanks for the opportunity!
 
If this keeps going I'm going to have to buy another bag of peanuts!
Each person who entered correctly gets their post # written on a peanut with a sharpie...then an Christmas morning I will have my wife draw the lucky winner !
Thank You to all who replied...I have enjoyed reading your posts ....
Good Luck!
 
Why do I love a buck? Simple, classic american quality. What do you need in a knife- not the bells and whistles just a decent blade. Why "fix" it if it's not broke? What do you want in a knife company- someone who stands behind their product. The fact that this one in particular reminds me of my first knives, both real and lusted for doesn't hart a bit either :) Congrats on the post count, and thanks for the opportunity!
 
Alright, so ignore my previous statement and count me in, Sitflyer.

Why do I love Bucks? That's sort of like asking me why I love Ralph Stanley and Wild Turkey 101. It's our music. It's our whiskey. And the Buck 110/112 is our knife. There's a thread going in the Traditional forum that asks what is THE American knife. With all due respect to the folks who said the stockman pattern, they're wrong. THE American knife is the 110/112.

I also love simple proven designs. When you think of all of the knives that have been made throughout the years and all of the variations that have been tried, most disappear and fade off into obscurity. But a few, only a precious few, last largely untouched not just for years but for decades. Designs of this sort achieve the rare status of classics. And only a few of those become icons. I've owned, used, abused, broken, fixed, bought, sold and traded-away more outdoor gear than I can tally up at this point. Among my most treasured are those that I consider to be icons. The Winchester 94 that was handed down to me by my grandfather. My brass Svea 123 which is nearly 30 years old and still working perfectly. A Mitchel 300 spinning reel that is a work of art to look at and still cranking along after more than 30 years. And my Buck 110, which I got in 1978.
 
I love Bucks because they're high-quality knives at very affordable prices. My Bucklite 442 is still going strong after almost 15 years. I've owned and gifted over 20 model 110s, and they're worth every penny.
