New to the world of Buck, but....

[Iverson]

Hi.

I have been spending a lot of $$$ on knives lately (I tend to go in cycles of buying, guns, then knives, then fishing equipment) I mean, paying the mortgage is overrated, right???

I have never actually owned a Buck knife! It seems odd that I almost 30 and own over fifty knives and none of them (so far) have been Buck. Well, I have been lurking here in this forum for a few weeks now, and I must say, I am convinced. Not that I needed convincing that Buck is a quality product, I realize they have more know-how that most of the companies out there. But I must say that the attention that Joe and the others from the company give their customers is what sold me....

I do have a question, though. I was wondering what the turn-around time on a custom would be? I have read about how you can choose your blade steel, scales and other components. That is very cool. I have custom (semi-custom?) knives from Strider, Emerson, Grohmann, etc. but have not been able to have too much say in how they are constructed. What is the average turn around time?

I figure as a good American, I should probably own a 110 or another classic. So... I now embark on my journey into the world of Buck...


Thanks fellas.

I suggest you go to buckknives.com and follow the link to Pete's Custom Knife Shop (often referred to here at PCKS). That's where you can custom order a 110 with any number of options. I haven't ordered one, but from what I read here on the forum, delivery time is anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks. Two weeks is not uncommon, from what I understand. Good luck. And be sure to post pics of what you get.
