You can post photos, you just have to use a hosting site like Imgur. We all like photos

Here's a 113 that Buck has done in walnut, real walnut...

Here's an ebony, and 1 walnut ( only 1, as in one) 113's.

All nice knives.
But calling the 3rd walnut, is like calling that frozen flat thing in the freezer "pizza".

But it's a Custom, so it's got to be good.

Classy looking sheath too. Looks beefy and long lasting. Didn't skimp on that one. My 66 made Puma Skinner does not have as heavy duty a looking sheath. Like how all the knives pictured are in mint conditioned even if used. Pays to keep em like that as ain't gettin any cheaper.

Yeah, all their ebony knives are nice.

When Buck does a knife right, they're awesome.
They know how. I think it's our job to remind them when they're not.

My only Buck 212 (mfg in 2019). I like that the Buck Knives Co. reached way back in their history to give us something unique. Owning this knife is almost as good as having an original Buck 112 from 1948. OH

When I did the re-handle of my 124, I originally was going to use ivory Corian, but switched to Buckeye Burl after getting a 119 from the custom shop with Buckeye Burl.

I just may need to buy another 124 and do the Corian... that has a real classy look, like something you'd wear for a formal dinner affair versus a BBQ

How about some elk cutlery for this Friday. Don’t know if this qualifies as fixed blades or not.

Not sure I've shown this one in this thread.

One of the better Legacy knives from a few years back.

197 Yellow Jacket
S90V between 2 layers of 154CM.
This particular model gave hope that some really unique and modern special editions were on the horizon. Apparently Caleb was muzzled after this one...





A touch longer than the Vanguard, and a great handle!

Since I too just got a Buck 184 'Buckmaster' hollow handle survival knife, I figured I just have to include it here. It too is now my favorite Buck knife in my collection, with my Cocobolo/brass handled General 120 having been my favorite before it...

I know this is a pic thread, but I have to ask...Are those custom wood scales, did you dye the originals, or are they custom Micarta or G-10? Whatever they are, they're gorgeous.

I've dyed Micarta before with some good luck, but never even thought about doing that to my "Compadre" set. I've never really been a fan of the "natural" canvas color (*on most brands) and reckon that's the one thing I would change about my Compadres.

Good question.
I was wondering myself.
I agree, they look good.

I've dyed with Rit clothing dye. But, if the above scales aren't wood, that's got to be some kinda' wood stain. That color is just too perfect.

They are the stock natural scales with a one step walnut stain with sealer. The only thing I like about the color of natural micarta is you can change the color to just about any color you want . Thanks
