My 2nd Custom Shop 110 just arrived....

Great knife, allenC. I have a couple custom 110s in BG-42 and I don't recall the Bos HT etch.

That's a beautiful knife.

:)

You're not alone.
My BG-42 blade does not have the Bos logo on it like my ATS-34 and the S30V blades have.
 
Confederate, real studs don't need thumb studs. :)

Allen C., I don't generally like finger grooves, but with that beautifully grained walnut and definitely with the buffalo horn, they look very appropriate. Thanks for those pictures!
 
What about those pins? I thought they had four. The website doesn't offer any three-pin models.
 
All the customs I have with pins (a small "accumulation" of about 8 stag and woody 110 with pins) have only three.
The center "pin" is for the rocker/spring and covered by the scales.
 
I think it would be cool if the Custom Shop offered a "retro" version of the 110, with squared sides and three small pins.

Kind of like those beautiful Colt WWI repros.

Well that really sucks. The website shows four. I would have opted for pins had I known that I'd get three. I like three. I hate four.

Might be a really fine idea for the website to be fixed.

You have the right to know the facts when you're spending a right fair considerable amount of money (it is to me, anyhow).

:mad:
 
well, this thread just made me order two Buck 110's from the Custom Shop. Cherrywood and Indigo. :thumbup: Can't wait to get them! That Walnut sure looks good though, that might be next for me.
 
I woke up this morning after dreaming that I ordered a BeeGee 42 with nickle, no rivets, FG, and fijii handles.

Then OMG!!! found a confirmation email from about 1am this morning.

It must have been these other knives laying here on the desk that did it. Keep them away from your keyboards.

Shirley I wasn't sleepwalking. gotta lock the cc in the safe at night.
 
Hahahaha, the sickness is spreading....BUCK FEVER!!!!

I'll sure be looking forward to some pictures when you guys get your knives.:thumbup::)
 
Allen, Was just brousing your pics again....

When did you get the walnut???

Just wondering about the 2004 year stamp?
 
You guys are making me want a 110!
:D
I really like 110's but don't currently own one, i only own two Bucks a 124 and a 119.
However here in Canada SIR is now selling those Cabela's Alaskan Guide series S30v 110's.
They look great but i'm not that familiar with S30V steel.
Any comments on the S30v steel in the 110's?

I also kinda like finger grooves should i forgo the Cabela's Buck and maybe get a Custom 110 later in the year?

Either way you go here, you will soon be ordering the other... :D:D

So really makes no diff...... Except that the Buck custom shop doesn't do S30V, for now.

I received it the same day that I posted the pictures....11-14-07.

I suspect that Buck has a certain amount of blades already in stock (BG-42, ATS-34, damascus, etc...), perhaps sitting in bins for years, just waiting for a custom 110 to be ordered that requests that particular steel.

I also suspect that ATS-34 is not near as popular as BG-42 or S30V since it's an "old" steel.
So, the blade for my new 110 was probably sitting on a shelf or in a bin since 2004.

It's really kinda sad if you think about....some poor little ATS-34 blade, created by Buck Knives and heat treated by Mr. Bos, just sitting there, waiting and waiting for the day when Mr. Richard Rishel will come and fetch him off the shelf to become part of a cutom 110.
In a wierd way, it's kinda like an old dog who is finally adopted from an animal rescue shelter, after years of seeing folks pass him by to adopt the young pups.

Makes sense. Will be curious to see what the one I just ordered will have. But it is BG42 so maybe it will be a pup so won't have to teach it new tricks. :D

in my feeble mind, ordering one and it coming in with an Idaho would be a plus. As many Idaho's as there are floating around, I still believe they will be more collectable some day.

But not a problem, as I ordered this latest one to be a user.

Thx....

Pretty certain you are generally correct...
But Damascus has the current year stamp for at least 2006 & 2007.
