Buck 429 Selector *questions*

[thrillbilly]

I bought this today at a yard sale, looks brand new un-used. OD w/ camo sheath version.

The second blade is not with it, just the full-serrated (which is scalpel sharp BTW). I kinda like it, never heard of/seen one until today, been researching and googling it. Apparently it has 9-10 different blades available for it, as well as a few different colors and a brother 428 which is a double-blade folder. The blade pops off the handle, simple and brilliant design! Reminds me of the 110, but much lighter, I wish it had the clip point blade with it.



Which brings me to my question, I read some archived BFC threads about this knife from a few years ago and saw where the blades were available online occasionally. Anyone seen any for sale lately? Or have any they wanna sell? Reasonably priced of course

Those come up for sale from time to time and yes, Buck mfg. ten blades for that handle. I like them as well. Good luck, DM

I found blades years ago at Gander Mountain for $1 each. I bought a bunch of them, standard 110 clip points and skinner blades. Bought handles at a gun and knife show and gave one to my brother. Found a handle to go with my remaining blades, so now I have two. I remember seeing a hawkbill blade, drop point, gutting blade and saw. And yes there was a thread that had a few pictures of all of them.

I have seen the blades come up on ebay now and then.

Nice score TB,

I like the Buck selector knives. I had one and sold it , not sure why. Anyway, the blades show up on the on-line auction sites like ebay.
