Buck or Buck +...

I have a 110 two-dot, a 703 Colt, and a 119 that go "way back." That's about all I had until a few years ago when I got interested in Case knives and started acquiring one here and there until now I must have a couple dozen. Then not too long ago I started noticing Bucks again and have since picked up a 102, 105, 503, 305, 309, 112 two-dot, 112 LT, and just got a 2020 112 FG. I really like both brands. Case provides me with traditional bone-covered slipjoints, and Buck provides rugged knives of excellent quality and durability for a very good price.
 
I like Bucks, obviously, but collect whatever strikes my fancy. I have a variety of knives from a variety of makers. I tend to collect slipjoint pocket knives more than anything else. Typically Queen/Schatt & Morgan, older Case, Camillus/Remington, etc. I keep an eye out for affordable (by my definition ;) ) Bob Cargill made Cripple Creeks, Canal Street, and Adrian Harris Colonel Coons. Affordable Adrian Harris Colonel Coon is almost an oxymoron, which is why there are only two in my "collection" :)
 
Only Bucks, could you guess. Except dabbled in a model made by various makers, but I gave it up. The ole TL - 29, a dozen or so from 80 years ago to late 1990's. All carbon steel blades, most Camillus made. 300

Lol! How do you forget about 35 Randall’s?
They do tend to separate themselves from the rest. I don’t really include mine in my “collection” either. My Randall’s are my users.
Out of sight,out of mind and combined with an aging memory!

I keep mine stored in Pelican cases on the top shelf in my sports room.I also have some at our cabin and some in a safe.

Here are two cases from my sports room.

I have mostly Buck knives about 200 of the 110/112 models.I also have about 70 of the 100 series fixed blades and numerous other models.
I have about 100 case '54 Trappers,24-25 '65 Folding Hunters and a few other Case models.
I own about 60 Microtechs and about 30 other autos of various makes.
There are some 200 Victorinox and Wenger models in my SAK collection.
There are probably about 30 other folding knives such as Puma,Gerber and various other makes and a few Custom fixed blade hunting knives.
PS: I forgot about my Randalls,I own about 35.

Dang I think these are some very impressive numbers.

All my knives are users. I don't really do safe queens.
Different users at various years cow roundups. I've cut enough cattle with my knives to know what designs I like for the task.
