copperandclad is the place... simple .com on the end, its the only place with all the good buck variants that I know of
(over on the buck forum they're often mentioned of course)
Out of curiosity, where did you buy this ?

Great company.
FWIW - I checked the copper and clad website and they do have the 117 Pro in stock, however it is priced at $160.

Apparently USPS lost my package so I won’t be getting the knife. Which is frustrating. The company did refund me the money which was generous of them
Always been curious how a box of that size ups and "disappears"
I'm glad they reimbursed you without accusations

I got it from Chicago Knife Works. I’m disappointed in USPS. My Buck 110 I ordered took almost 12 days to arrive when it used to take 2-3
Are you ordering another 117 ?

I don’t know. The 110 I got might handle all the hiking chores I need it to.
My 110 has handled any cutting chores I have ever found for it. Hiking or otherwise.

I really like the 3 3/4” size. Contrary to YouTubers you don’t need a 8” survival knife

Some 117 eye candy.
we need a thread dedicated to this great little knife. It does such a great job filling in the gap between the 102 and 119.
The official members list is on page 4 post 79
I have 117’s and liked them a lot until I got a 212. 212’s are hard to find, but a modified 103 (Dave Martin Special) is actually a better cheaper knife.
Often when I carry a large fixed blade I missed my 110, I don’t miss my 110 if I have 212 or modified 103.
If you have the time this thread may interest you.
With all that said. In my youth during my most active outdoor years the 110 was my constant companion it never disappointed me.

I really wanted a modified 103, (like DM’s) it seemed like it would be a perfect EDC. I never found a good deal on a used one to modify so when the 212 was released I was all over it.
Here is a comparison shot. They are similar sized. I like the plunge line better on the 103 it has a higher blade grind and it comes with a better sheath. But the 212 has that really beautiful top grind. (Even though it isn’t really clipped or dropped). The point is pretty much in line with the spine on both knives.

I have a Marbles Fieldcraft fixed blade, it has a 3 5/8" (or so) blade and is smaller than my Marbles Woodcraft with a 4 1/2" blade.
The Fieldcraft has a corresponding smaller stacked leather handle compared to it's larger brother, the Woodcraft.
I think the Buck 212 would look/feel more balanced if the handle would be a bit shorter to "fit" with the shorter blade.
