Any Buck fans out there

I have a buck 119 and the smaller one (forgot model but it looks like the small version of the 119)

Use my 119 for camping a lot. I would say for the price its the best all round. Holds an edge well enough and easy to sharpen

Well ya, sure I love my 3 Bucks. Who doesn't like Buck? Most of it still made here in the land of Coca-Cola. I sent a tired 110 to them and they refurbished it like new

I also sent a Buck 112 for refurbishing,a dint came out nice, it wasn’t in bad shape but it came back much nicer and useable again, sharp and the action was smoother to open and close. It was from an older gentleman at church who gave it to me since he knew I colllected knives. He’s passed in now so it reminds me of him a little. I am also glad Buck has been able to stick around, just be doing something right.
 
I've had a Buck 105 pathfinder for about 40 years (!) and still like, enjoy, and use that sucker. I bought it from an old black-and-white Campmore catalogue when I was a kiddo and have used it for everything.

It's the one on bottom, of course.

The Buck 110 is a bargain, especially if you consider that it's guaranteed for life.
I got this one while on vacation in Myrtle Beach SC, about 6 months ago. The ebony scales are beautiful.

I have the 50th anniversary one, and a 110LT, but I have been eyeballing the ebony ones for a while now. Keep telling myself I don't need it, but, you know..:D
 
Been a Buck fan for decades. Yesterday picked up a Buck 103 skinner at a good price, just for the heck of it. Came with a slight burr which disappared with a few strokes on the DMT; now it's hair-popping sharp. Nothing wrong with Buck's 420HC.
 
Buck makes great knives for the price p[oint they are sold at. Consistant levels of fit and finish, and they all look great.

Back in the 1980s, a Buck 110 was THE knife to have in your belt pouch for anyone reporting to work in a hard hat. That was 45 years ago. There were not many alternative options available then. I got a bit turned off on Buck back then by abusing a series of 110s with heavy use in the oil fields. ?They just would not stand up to continuous daily use cutting open 100 pound sacks of drilling mud chemicals. The blade world wear down to a significant recurve and the edge would become butter knife dull in just a short time. The brass bolsters would work and loosen the pins till the blade wobbled. Even with little initial usage, the beautiful wood handles would stsin to a dull black brown just by being handled in sweaty hands.

With THAT said, I don't really know that any modern knife that is working-man affordable would stand up to that sort of heavy abuse today.
 
Lost my 303, so I’m waiting on a 301 right now! Didn’t really like the spey-blade on the 303, so time for a upscale! Really miss the 303 though..:(
 
I’m up to about
(13) 301’s
(9) 110’s
(8) 112’s
(4) 303’s and a couple trappers and a 371. Sigh… (4) 500’s
(2) 501’s
one 505. Thems just my folding Bucks.
I also have;
(3) 119’s
one 120
One 102
One 105
One 470
and one475(?).
Also have a big size and a medium size plastic handle folders. I don’t remember the model numbers right off. I’m wanting to say a 285 and 286? They have thumb studs and pocket clips. One’s camouflage and one’s army green. They really surprised me in that they took my daily abuse and never faltered a bit, despite the low price and lightweight feel. Dang good knives in my opinion.
I had a 55 but lost it at the gun range and multiple trips back to look for it never turned it up and I just never replaced it even though I absolutely loved it
I really like my Bucks. I sent a badly abused and toothpick bladed two dot 110 back to buck and they totally rebuilt the knife and I couldn’t be more happy with their CS. Buck customer for life here!
