well, I am one of these doomsday preppers so to speak, and although I have a few "survival" knives I was lacking some decent carry knives so I wanted a good knife that
would last a lifetime, so I started checking out Buck knives, and I like the older stuff and the blade material, so far in the past 2 weeks I have bought.

Buck 500 (Olde english stamp)
Buck 112 (2 dot)
Buck 501 esquire (olde english stamp) I actually have bought 2 of these, didnt realize I had bid on 2 of the same knife.
Buck 505 (olde english stamp)
buck 503 (old english stamp)

all but the Buck 112 are mint-ish, with box paperwork etc. and not cheap, but great looking knives, still waiting on the 501 and 503 to arrive.

I think I am addicted and have set a new record for knife buying. guess I have been bitten by the knife collecting bug pretty bad.
 
For prepper carry you should look at a 110 or 112 paperstone. They significantly lighter.

Looks like you're on your way to a great collection.

Here's three of my favorites.

Yup you have been bit. But only lightly bit with mild venom. I have been bit much worse and don't know if I will recover. My list unfortunately is about 3 times yours for the last week alone and much more expensive. At least there is hope for you if you get help or maybe you don't want help. For me I believe it is too late. Pray for me.
 
I agree with gedlicks , you have been bitten but only grazed the surface.
I've started back collecting past two weeks and spent over $4000 my bite has drawn blood !
 
We've all had that bite in the past. Some just find themselves with a handful and others, well break the bank.


 
Welcome aboard. Soon you will be looking at your monthly bank statement, not to see how much money you added since the previous month, but to see how much money is left over for buying more Buck knives:)
