Hello all, I was just posting to say I picked up my first Buck 560u today at the gun show for $40 :D I have been wanting one of these for a while and just could not find one execpt e bay. Well back to the point the 560 is a GREAT knife! The 560 is much slimmer than the 110 but the 560 fits like a glove. I just wanted to share my joy. Thanks John
 
chickentrax I am sorry it took me so long to post back. currently I am haveing trouble hosting the pics online. The pics are to big to post but I will try to send some pics to your email. Thanks for your time John
 
Just received a black 560 with a 110 blade in the mail yesterday. Took a pix of it and my other 560's (the grey one is an auto). The 560 is a model I wish Buck would bring back! :thumbup: Good score, johnwaynesanw!

Nice collection there Clydetz, I have 2 560's one gold and one silver with a "110" stamped blade. I like them, but both are mint so I haven't carried and used them yet. I actually really want to but can't bring myself to mar one up yet.
 
I must say the black 560 looks realy good and I think I will have to keep my eye out for one of those now. I have learned to be patiant when looking for some knives, but good things come to those who wait. Nice collection by the way. :D some day I hope to have as many 560s as you. I would love to have an auto 560 also. Does anyone know of a company that converts 560s to an auto? Thanks John

It appears to be the same conversion as applied to 110's...Clydetz didn't say if it was a dual-action or single, but it looks like a dual...

They [110's] show up on the auctions occasionally...Don't see any [560's] today...

Is this a discontinued model??? Fewer of those available to convert as there is no bulk supply to draw on...

Or so I've heard... :rolleyes:

Yes, the 560's are discontinued.
 
I've got one. Nice knife. Slimmer, lighter, and I like the finger grooves. Well worth having one in your collection.

Single action; conversion by Vince Londino.

My mistake! I should have noticed it has a hole, not a notch... :D

Interesting that Mr Londino machined the "kick" flat...I wonder how long a tool bit lasts on Titanium??? :confused:
 
here is my 560 with matching blade...
and with a reg blade they do make one heck of a user.

It might help (notice there is no nail nick) but I tend to believe it's strictly for appearance.
 
Those are some really nice 560s. :thumbup:
Here is mine.
