Buck 55

[Mitch W.]

Does anyone have a picture of a Buck 55 so I'll know if I find one at a pawn shop or junk store, otherwise i may think it's a Pakistan copy and not even look at it.

You don't happen to like Buck knives, do you?:thumbup:

How wide is the 55 compared to a 110, or a 301?

Think 500 series, as far as how wide it is. Sure the 55 looks like a smaller 110, but it reminds me of the 503 in brass clothing. Just my 2 cents.

I just measured a 55 and a black delrin 301. The 55 is 5/16" thick compared to the 301 at 9/16". A standard Wally World 110 is only a hair thicker than the 301.

Here's mine:

It's a heck of a nice little pocketknife. :thumbup:

And a nice mouth harp you have too (if it is still in the box).

Interesting 112 with the serratted blade and the notches in the brass and top of the blade. I have not seen that before on a 112.

Also, I was trying to stress that the 55 thickness is like the 503, which is quite thin. The 55 is more of a gentlemans knife, instead of a work knife.

I did that to my 112 with a file.

Yep, I do have it. It was my great grandfather's. The harp is rusty, but plays GREAT. Some day I may have it restored and put it into the gig bag.

I've played for years, even working with blues and rock bands. I'm embarrassed to admit it on this forum, but I spend more money and time on harmonica-related stuff than I do on knives.
