Buck for a Biker?

[Messersmith]

Messy...
In your original post, you were concerned about a knife poking ya in a crash. It happened to someone that I know.
It went into his leg near the forward part of his thigh. Lucky it didn't hit an artery...but it did some damage.

Ouch! I've been thinking of ways to lash a sheath to my tailpack so I could still carry a fixed blade but not worry about the knife biting me in a crash.

Hey Schiesz...
I love this pic cool young biker.Only one thing that headlight is shinning up in the air.:grumpy: Ride safe Hawkeye

Well, to be quite honest I don't know that i've ever had a buck with me on my bike before. I just recently got back into bucks, and it just recently got to be riding season again. Next time (maybe tomorrow) by 532 will be on my hip. Maybe my old 110 will find a place on there as well. So...

1) 532 and/or 110
2) because there is NOWHERE for me to put a gun
3) 1980 Honda CX500

Yes, my little girl is a stone cold biker. Its funny, any time I post that pic someone comments on the where the headlight is aimed.

I took that pic right after I got done removing the windjammer fairing and installing the headlight brackets, turn signals, and new headlight. I hadn't gotten all of the wiring harness to fit in the back of the headlight bucket without moving the horn, so the headlight was like that till I moved the horn down an inch. I never figured anyone would notice the aim, but apparently I was way off there!

I also just replaced the throttle tube, and don't have a new grip on it yet, but no one ever comments on the white plastic grip, just the plane spotting headlight.

I have an old Buck 501 that I'll carry if I don't have one of my Kershaws with me, a Bond Arms 45/410 on my ankle and a nice custom '06 Street Glide in vivid black.

Adios!

Seriously?

Personified. Look out for your shadow.

I don't ride, but when I do come across bikers I always give a furtive glance to see what (if anything) they're carrying. 99 times out of 100, that "knife" I spied on their belt turns out to be a cell phone.

God bless your motorcyclist.

Cute child, but not a Biker.

Sonny Barger is a biker.

Buck 110, sheath upside down.

3 posts and you've been a member since 2008 and now you're questioning a quote that is nearly 9 years old??

Best to start a new thread.

I sometimes carry a Buck 301 under the seat of my Honda CB500F. (even small HD's cost as much as a house here and are no good in this heavy traffic)

 

[Peter Parker]

I sold my last bike in 96 but I have rode several since then. When I rode I usually had my 110 on me. The CX500 and Suzuki VX800 look great especially the Honda! I once rode my buddy's CX500 Turbo through the Smoky Mountains and it was a blast!

I ride a Buell xb9sx bike and carry a 110 .

What about afixing some sort of metal backing to a sheath, kind of like the Ontario 499 survival knife sheath so that it can't stab through and hurt you. You could even wrap it around the bottom to keep the tip from stabbing out the front if you really wanted. Of course, kydex may just be a better solution all around from that perspective... You could have a sheath maker make one out of .093 thickness Kydex, and I think they even have 0.118 or so as an available thickness. Ain't nutting' getting through that.

I'd imagine a Buck 119 Brahma with a a thick kydex sheath would make a pretty badass biker kinda knife.

We welcome all folks interested in the Buck Forum. But let me step in here and do a little light housekeeping.

We encourage those who want to comment on posts while doing research to start a new thread and make their comments and provide a link back to really old threads.

In this particular case some folks do not participate in Buck Fourm threads and one or two may have passed on. So making comments about what someone wrote a bunch of years ago is generally not considered a good method to be involved in Buck Forum discussions.

In this threads case I would say go ahead an comment on the subject but consider posts from 2007 not something to direct a comment to the writer about.

Just keeping things flowing smoothly.........300Bucks, Moderator

You know, I never looked at the date of the original, only the latest post. Oh well. Still Bucks and Bikes together is a good topic.

Here's the Bike

Here's the Buck
