Was wondering what kind of info is on the website.Have been collecting fixed blades for a couple of years and I am having a hard time finding any info on older bucks.Is that kind of info something that is available with a lifetime membership.Am starting to get quite a few knives and would like to research them in more depth.Thanks for the help!
 
You are in just the place to research every aspect of Buck knives right here. Being a member of BCCI is also a great source of information. It is more fun to learn from people that have the knowldge to answer all of your questions. The information you are able to obtain here is unbelievable. here you can get pictures of knives you have questions about. I can't say enough, Dtart asking questions and you will learn more than you want to know. Become a BCCI member too.
 
Kel, Welcome . Yes, there is a lot of information in the BCCI model/history sight . The club started 22yrs. ago and ever since employees and knowledgable collectors have been entering verfiable data . This info. is available with annual or lifetime membership .
Plus, there are many other benefits to being a member, the list is quite long as many will state . Its money well spent and I highly recommend it . While your thinking on this, I'll roll out the welcome matt to you and attempt to answer any questions you have on your models . Please, give stamping and describe finger guard spacers . Your welcome . DM Life Member 1119
 
Kel, We need lots of pics of your knives... That always helps....

Welcome to the Buck forum.... ITE ...
 
Join the BCCI! I have been reading old newsletters starting around 1947 and moving forward. I havent got real far and already have found some really cool info. Plus access to club only knives and discounts make it a great package. Lifetime membership is certainly the best deal monitarily. Took me a year and a half to finally pull the trigger, sorry I hadnt sucked it up and done it much earlier.
 
I think the date for putting the order has passed.
But I'll check on that for you Grisle.
 
That's what I was afraid of. I'm new to collecting 110's and I'm a little late to the game. I plan on joining the BBCI and would love to get the Paperstone 110 so any info is greatly appreciated. I've seen a lot of pictures of 110's from you Flatlander1963...you have an impressive collection. I like the pictures in the knife and gun thread too. It took me a couple of years to realize, but my favorite knives have bolsters and the 110 is probably on the top of the list. I really like my Spyderco Persian too.

Thanks but the 110 King is Dave Meier aka 110 Dave. That guy has the most amazing collection of 110's. I'll shoot you an email when I find out about Paperstone Droppoint 110.

Next big 110 guy I know is also a Dave...aka PlummerDv. He's got a lot of 'em too.
 
Grisle, Welcome . I'm sure they'll appear on the auction site at twice the price . If you missed this opportunity you still have a shot at one . However, you should join right away as you may can still get one or other models you like that come up in the future . DM

You wont be disappointed. The discounts you can recieve through Buck can pay for a lifetime membership. I was just on the Prosite eyeing up a new 3 stone sharpener for a good deal less than I see em elsewere. Welcome.

I have the three stone sharpener and I like it. I've only used the fine diamond stone once and it was on an S30V blade dulled by cutting on glass (cutting through a Napoleon pastry on a glass plate, if you must know :D) Otherwise, I've just used the arkansas stone for touching up S30V, 154CM, CPM 154 and 420HC blades. I like that 3 stone sharpener enough that I may get a second "backup". :thumbup:

I've never been much good at sharpening, whether lathe or drill bits, I just havent had the talent. I intend on breaking that with some hard practice on a stone with some beaters. I have a shortened 110 that I intend on getting rebladed at some point, it'll make a good practice dummy.

I think the trick is to touch up knives that are only slightly dull, keeping them razor sharp, then work your way to slightly duller and then duller knives to get the hang of it. Don't bare down on the blade when stroking/"slicing" on touch-ups, just wet the stone and use a low angle to the stone, about the width of the blade itself. This will help you get the feel for sharpening. When you get a factory edge, if you hold it right to the light (looking from the side) you will notice a very thin line of light at the edge, this line is what you want to reproduce and it's easier to do that on touch-ups.

If you look straight on to a blade, that is the narrow part, you can see a reflection of light if it is dull (you will see dull spots or sections). This is different from the line I'm talking about when looking at the blade from the side.

It is money very well spent if you're into Bucks!

I would suggest a life membership if they are still doing the knife giveaway as they were doing years ago. Worth asking at least.
 
What's the knife giveaway? Honestly I really want to get the lifetime this year, but there are too many knives I want right know. I think I'm gonna get the annual so I can get a couple from the site.
