New SMKW exclusives 110 50th (stumps) and a d2 personal

I would have to see the engraving to know if it's for me or not. Some is done well, others not so much.

I like that D2 version, pretty good price also.
 
I'd been wanting a Buck 118 since it was brought back out - glad I waited. Thanks for posting this.
 
Did you guys catch the bit about the free Buck 50th anvil with an order of $100 or more Buck knives?

I called sales and couldn't verify that the anvil would be automatically added to online sales (my near final checkout did not show the anvil as added but I didn't complete the online purchase). Your photo is of the paper catalog page 24. Call in sales does indeed add the anvil per my conversation with a sales rep. this morning, however.

I didn't see that before I placed my order yesterday, but it was added to the invoice…so I have one on the way. :)
Nice little bonus!!
 
I was going to order the engraved 110 and the D2 118 online.
Guess I'll wait and call it in tomorrow to be sure I get an anvil.
 
A couple pics of the latest SMKW anvil for your amusement borrowed from the bay. It looks to be heavily antiqued on the sides:



 
Great photos, as usual. Thank you.

It is HUGE! Can you take a photo of you standing on it on one foot for scale? :)

It looks like it is worth $40 now. $50 in a year, perhaps. Wouldn't hurt the display. No. I don't think that it would detract. Uh uh.

BTW, your photos were the last straw. I ordered over the phone this morning. There are thousands of the 50th anvils. You get one with each and every order over a C note but only one with each order.

Yep…I have another coming after receiving this one. :)

I tried and tried and tried to get a photo with me standing on top of it, but I'm too old to bend over that far.
You will have to scale with these…a 25lb York and a 50th Anniversary 110 that I just pinned the stag on this morning.

You dog you. Bark, bark and barkity bark. Not surprising as you never buy just one of anything 50th. Wise move as the anvils look terrific and a real value IMHO.

However, hurrumph, when the second anvil arrives please, pretty please, stand with one foot on each in front of a mirror or have someone else snap the shot or use your camera's timer and round around. You are old, unfortunately, but you are not dead yet, fortunately for all of us. If you were dead then that would earn you a pass. Nice try. :)

Hahahaha,
Or.... on January 1st 2015, after he has collected the myriad 50th anniversary knives, stand on the anvils as a symbolic portrait of victory :)

Great idea Chris! Genius really. How many knives are you up to Stumps 70-75? Stumps, as far as I am aware, is the bull goose champion of all things 50th. Hurrah, hurrah and hurrah. Hail the champ!

Anvils... No other item in my collection means more to me than the glass facsimile of the Hoyt Buck anvil residing at the Buck factory museum. You are amazing in your artistic talent. You see a picture and then a scale model of the real thing enters the world. Bravo. You have my admiration for that incredible talent. I stand in awe.

You are way too kind!
Now if I can figure out how to make a good glass rendering of a Buck folder or fixed blade, I would be happy :)
 
Got my SMKW exclusive Buck 118 today. Well worth it. Sides of the blade have that orange peel look I've seen on my Bob Dozier knives in D2. Somewhat sharp out of the box, but that will be an easy fix. Sheath is well done. All in all very pleased with my 1st Buck fixed blade.
