lol, problem is that doesn't do anything for actual cutting. except cutting into your wallet and removing hard earned cash......

Sure, but if you're collecting Buck 110s, you need all of them, not just those with the best performance!

110s......well no one can have them all....not even 110Dave.....but he's real close....

 

[bucksway]

Yes...David has a LOT of 110's. I've watched him set up to display case after case packed full. But what is incredible is his knowledge of all things 110. He really needs to write a book..

you should talk him into that book....and while you're at it write your own book on the 112s...

I am strongly in favor of this!

Yes, as you know, I prefer 112s too but I assume Bucksaway's collection would make my collection look pathetic.

Same here.

 

[bucksway]

Happy Hippo I will say I have a great collection of odd 112's mainly because I have chased the oddballs since 2007 or so. But there are dozens of Buck collectors who have fabulous collections of 112's who very quietly and oh so stealthy buy trade and bid on the best of the best..especially the Old Custom shop and employees knifes. Many are old time collectors who NEVER post pictures and have limited involvement on forums and Facebook. Many are very 'comfortable' so price is not a issue at all. Larry Oden sees a few rare ones that go on his lists but for the most part it's a black hole they dissapeared into..

What is Grandillo?

What is Grandillo?

Granadillo is an exceptionally dense wood from Central America. It is close to cocobolo and is sometimes called Mexican rosewood—it is not related to rosewood.

Who called granadillo?

 

[brianv]

Looks good and I want that model but I'm going to pass.

 

[Nynroc]

Cut and paste from COOK WOODS:
"Deep reds, browns, blacks and occasional violets penetrate through this exotic hardwood. Similar to Cocobolo, another name for Granadillo is Mexican Rosewood, though Granadillo is easier to work and glues much more readily. It is dense and straight with a closed grain structure. Although not a true Rosewood, it is commonly used by many in South America for instrument building under the name Macacauba."
I might purchase one so I can say " I have a S45VN Macacauba knife!"

 

[BuckShack]

It's pretty. Nice wood and nice steel. I don't need another 113 but I too would like to say" I have a S45VN Macacauba knife!"

 

[OCEquestrian]

I no longer hunt so I am going to pass on this one...It has no utility value to me and I don't like the shape of the blade...

 

[Tecate]

I like the sheath more than the knife.

 

[pjsjr]

Looks good, but I've have a self-imposed slow down on purchases, especially knives.

 

[Vaporstang]

Gorgeous knife! But that price - ouch! I love the 113, but think I am going to pass. (And will probably regret it down the road...)

 

[STDK]

Going to pass on this one also. More than I am willing spend.
