Custom Bucklock

[pvicenzi]

I have a custom bucklock with a stag handle and a 154cm blade marked 136 0f 250. It is file worked and is a Wild Bill Coady. bShould I use it, or is it a collector?

this is a very good question to ask..many have.. including me now and anain..

any one that would buy it after you are gone will want that you did not use it

but a wedding ring is expensive, yet you ware it and thus it is "used"

USE it if you would like to!
if it was a gift you may want to consult discreetly with the giver..

while i tend to save any nice knife as a display queen

there really is some thing to be said for using a nice knife!!!

Well, if the value doesn't increase, I'd like to use it. I just can't find any information on this particular knife to base my decision on. I can't find anything searching Google. It's either rare, or nobody cares.

Do a search on ebay for Bucklock and check out the BIN prices on the various customs. There aren't any WBC's in Bucklocks right now but you can do a separate search for him and see some of his other work.

I say save it in unused condition. His pieces tend to hold their value as far as I have noticed. But if you like showing off a fine knife to your friends, that is certainly one that will impress.
