Hey Fellow Buck Fans
It is high time for me to introduce myself – I have been hanging out, mostly anonymously except for an occasional post and knife purchase – for awhile now. My real life name is Greg.
I am an unintentional Buck knife collector. In 2019 I was searching the Bay for Leatherman tools, my collecting focus for years at that point. Somehow, I stumbled upon a listing for a used Buck 2-dot 112 knife. That was a cool looking knife, soon to be my first. I wrote in my notes about the knife “Hopefully I don’t get carried away” with Buck knives.
Well fast forward to today – I have quite a collection of Buck knives, if I don’t say so myself. My primary focus is on the 110, with a secondary focus on the 112. My ideal knife would be a 112 form with the size of the 110. Along the way, I have dabbled in many other models, most tending to the larger models.
Just when I think I have acquired a substantial amount of knowledge about all things Buck, I am humbled by the depth and breadth of knowledge exhibited by those that frequent this forum. I learn something new almost every time I peruse these threads. I am also amazed at the wonderful knives collected by members here, many that I had never seen. Clearly, some of you have been at this for quite a number of years!
Nearly all of the knives I purchase go directly into my collection. I can only carry so many, my EDC rotation currently includes: 110 Elite, 040 Onset, 500 Duke, 590 Paradigm and 843 Sprint, as well as one of several Leatherman tools.
Now that I have introduced myself, I hope to engage more often with all you all.

I really need to move some knives along.
