Buck 424

[RMO]

Just wondering, does anyone still carry a buck 424 or another discontinued Buck knife?

Yes, sir! I don’t have a 424 (my brother does) but a Buck 704 Maverick rides in my suit coat pocket nearly every Sunday, and I have a couple Buck 532’s on the short list of my daily carry knives that I rotate through. It’s not unheard of to catch me carrying a Buck 307 Wrangler or a 332 Barlow, either. If it’s an old Buck, chances are I’ll love it.

I bought 23 of them. 424 bucklite?
I was gonna flip them but I doubt the effort would be worth it. I think they are good affordable U.S. made beaters that all came sharp. Some arrived with play, front and back, or side to side. Good knife for a fith pocket

Cool. Did you find all 23 together as one lot? Are they new or used? With sheaths? I’m pretty sure the 424 was my brother’s first Buck in the 80’s. I chose a 503. We, and Dad, were skeptical of the plastic 424, but it survived a rough and tumble childhood. It sure cleaned a lot of trout. My brother eventually snapped the tip and it was the first time either of us made use of Buck’s Forever Warranty. You know, now that I think about it, it could have been a 422 or 426. I think I remember finger grooves. He still has it - I’ll have to ask him.

They do not come with clips or sheaths
23 black plastic 424 bucklites. Emptied dlt's
Supply. Sort of a drop it in your pocket kind of deal, good pull so no pocket mishap to worry about

The 424, 444 and 501 use the same size blade. I grab a 424 when I want something super lightweight - 1.25 ounces - yet strong and capable.

I gave one to my brother years ago
It’s a slim capable knife that didn’t get any love

I only have 1 424 but I have quite a few 422s, which are more like the 112s I like.

I used to carry my 444 and 446 quite a bit. The 446 is now in the cubby of my lawnmower and my 444 is stashed away somewhere. In the late 90's/early 2000's, I was a big Bucklite fan.

I occasionally carry a Buck 424 (in the pouch it came with) - mostly when freshwater fishing.

I don’t own a 424 but do occasionally carry discontinued Bucks. Sometimes a 503,501 or old 300 series. Once in a blue moon my 521.

My little 309’s pretty regularly because I like them. Actually been thinking lately of starting to collect 309’s since I only have 2.
