Yesturday the UPS truck brought this knife to me. A Buck BuckScript 110. Very nice. I took a few pictures of it. Not the best I have taken, but passable.

High carbon stainless steel blade
·Genuine bone handle
·Nickel silver liners, bolsters and exclusive inlaid BuckScript shield

That looks like a winner. :thumbup:

Thanks for the comments guys. The bone looks different than the picture on SMKW. SOme say it is a dark red. I thought mine looked more like a dark brown. But whatever color it is, it is nice. I wish I had money to but another. SO I could keep one clean and new and use another. Oh well. guess I just have to look at this one and use my old 110 when I need to.

Speaking of buying more than one. I can see the purpose of buying 2 of a knife. but I have read of people buying 3 -5 of the same knife. What is the point of that? I don't see the reasoning for spending that much on duplicate knives. I'd rather buy 2 and get 2 different knives with the rest of the money. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Bill, I buy many of the same knife....the reason is lack of reason for the most part! With this model, I bought 5, but they are all a little bit different since thay are made with a natural material.....Knife collecting is a big hobby for me, and I always buy at a good price, so that I could sell them at what I paid or more if need be.....

OK. I did not think of them being a little different. Good point. If I could afford it I would probably do the same thing.

There's an old saying "A true collector must have 2 if he can and 3 if the occasion arises."

Well, you don't have to subscribe to old sayings, but for me & knives it's like this. I start out with a user, it has to be a nice one. If I really like it I'll buy a second one, in case something happens to the first. A looker that could be called into service. And a third, an archive, or looker that serves only to show the "original" in unused condition.

Then there's the prospect of gift-giving, like when I travel overseas and want to give a quality American gift to a foreigner....

As I'm reading these posts I'm thinking, well 2 of one knife maybe, but never 3, but then I read Wolfdog's post and I'm thinking, he's right of course you have to have the third to show how that original looked! Of course if I like it that much, someone else will so maybe I better take his suggestion and pick a fourth one up for that last minute gift-plus they may get discontinued which means I need to have a lifetime supply...It all makes perfect sense now!
