Buck collections

If you are talking about a single model over the years, I would put my money on the 110.
 
Well when millions of them are made, the 110 is the likely choice. The most collectible is a different subject, I couldn't venture to guess.
 
What model made by buck is the most collected.

One is a question of numbers, the other is personal opinion, and the two may or may not be in agreement. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I guess it's time to dust off the decoder rings and offer them to the newer forumites. Dave is back in his ."colorful" mode again, which means he makes little sense to most newbies. :)

Dave, if I remember correctly, it was at least a couple of years ago that I surpassed the 200 mark of 110's. I have no idea how many I've managed to aquire since them, but it's been a fairly large number. I don't have the room (or the ambition) to spread them all out an count.
 
My 110 will be here in a few days. I may be the last person on earth who didn't own one. I may not ever use it, it is kind of a boat anchor, but for the price I paid, I wanted it in the collection.
 
yep .. I knows the feeling well ...
like I said I know I gots 350 at least ..
enugh to fill 3 tables
and that is jest the ones in a case!
I is a fixing to re-inventory and

Dave,

I tried that a couple of months ago. Response was limited, but the 110 came out ahead. I'll have to go back and check, but I think the Vantage did pretty well.

I'm sure you'll have no problem with this, Dave.

Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wooden shoe?
 
A couple of years or so ago, I had an aquaintance of mine (a cynical sort) looking at a part of my 110 collection. He thought they were cool, but compared them to collecting Barbies, they were pretty much all the same, just dressed different. That observation has stuck in my mind ever since.

Hey Dave,
That could be pretty much said of most collections, not just knives. Don't let it get to ya, Ya gotta have a hobby of some sorts, do what you enjoy.

I understands all a wot 1ten gots ta say but dang if it ain't hard read'n ;-) But hey, how's that song go? "there's one in every crowd" Further more I spect most from Cali ain't used ta hear'n much slang. Although he sounds like a cross up of a whole buncha things.

There aren't many knives that have lasted as long as the 110, and the first ten or twelve years of the 110 are an interesting history of improvement by trial and error.

While that is very true, you'll have to admit that to a non-collector or to the casual eye, there's not many differences that just jump right out at you.
 
I collect 112's but if I were to start over today it would be 'BIG Bucks' 124's,122's any Buck that was big beefy and loooong.
