Buck 118 Personal questions

[sticknstring73]

Does anyone know what was the last year of production for the standard 118 and are there any plans to bring it back in 420HC? I see that they have a D2 version out and a B & C version but I'm interested in the standard.

Your wait is over. The regular 118 is available right now:



Add $12 and you get the Cocobolo/brass version of the Personal:

Thanks! It's not on the Buck site though, I will look around.

My pleasure. You are welcome.

Your 118 build out is beautiful! I want the standard version for the using. I don't like walking around with anything too precious. I had an old Case stockman that my Mother gave me, I could have sworn I lost it twice, the second time it came back to me it went back in the box. While I'm probably just as attached to my Buck 303 and 305 at least I know I can get a replacement at a reasonable cost. I always appreciate people posting the pics of their special editions because most of the time that's the only way I'll see them.

Thank you for the kind words. My pleasure. The D2 118 Buildout is the perfect knife and man-o-man did they sell out in an itching hurry. I was lucky to get one. Very lucky.
