New to Buck 110

[Mikal47]

A week ago I got my first Buck 110, and I've got to say that I'm fascinated by this knife. I owned the great copy of one, but never a Buck. But that's going to change. I've read the history of the 110 and it's amazing what they produce. I just want to look at this knife and touch it cuz it's such a beauty.

Welcome to the forum!

It seems to me you have been bitten or smitten by the legendary Buck 110 fever. But don’t fret, it only gets better! it’s like potato chips or Christmas cookies, you can’t have just one. So many to admire and drool over.

The 110 is what is known as a gateway drug. If you are that enamored of the 110, it won't be the last Buck you buy.

Yeah, I know. I'm looking at eBay already.

Welcome and turn back now while you still can.

It's a shame that there's no cure for 'Buck Fever'...but we can treat the symptoms..If you really like the 110 try a drop point finger grooved 112. Just trying to help.

It is a slippery slope...
There are so many variations, you have been warned!

And if you want to step into OZ there's Customs.

Cool, cool. Nice knives, but can you tell us more about those turtles? And did anyone else notice the duck?

Welcome!

Thank you, the duck comes from a stay years ago at Super 8 motels, IIRC.

The darker turtles are ones I made with a raku clay that had mica in it. Raku is low fired, I fired these in a regular wood bonfire. Sometimes the raku clay will withstand the temperature changes, sometimes not. I lost others in the firing. The light colored one is carved quartz that I picked up in a flea market.

I like turtles

pjsjr Great looking knives and photo, Preston! Now, can you tell us more about those bolos? Looks like Hopi on left and Navajo on right.

 

[pjsjr]

You’re right Tom, Hopi and Navajo. Over the years I’ve made numerous trips to New Mexico, Taos, Santa Fe and other parts around there. I think these were from the Indian Market in Santa Fe one year.

Preston, your photo reminds me of the famous Arizona Highways photographer, Jerry Jacka, who often used driftwood as a display to photograph Southwest jewelry. Beautiful photo!
