Joe Houser and Josh Buck looking over the giant Kalinga. That Kalinga got more attention than any other knife that week I think.

Wilde Bill Cody made that giant Kalinga which he called me to make sure I would bring it. He carried that thing around for 2 days showing it to people at the hotel and the Buck factory.

I just got home and haven't unpacked...I'm exhausted, but I have to say...it truly was an exceptional experience.

After meeting the people from Buck Knives, Inc. I'm just so impressed! They are all so passionate about the knives and the people that buy, collect and use them.

All those involved with BCCI that put this 30th Anniversary together and made it run, did so so superbly and deserve accolades beyond my ability to describe.

I'm sorry that I missed meeting a few of the Buck Forum members here. All the BF/BCCI members that I did meet were quickly counted as friends and am looking forward to another chance to meet and talk with. Preston
 
Well said Preston - I feel exactly the same way. It was a great pleasure to meet you. You will have to show off your new twin set.

Preston and I both got some real great twin sets. Only 15 sets were made and sold exclusively to BCCI attending members.

Here is a picture of John Foresman (BCCI President) getting back from a ride in Chuck Bucks Chevy.

There were 3 sets of 532's made with 5 knives in each set. Each knife in the set was made by a different artisan. David Yellowhorse, Leroy Remer, Heath Stone, Michael Prater, and Wilde Bill Cody.
All were absolutely fantastic knives. 2 sets were given away in a drawing and the 3rd was auctioned off. This gentleman won the set that was auctioned off. During the second half of the auction
you could have heard a pin drop while the auction climbed. When the gavel dropped this gentleman won the knife set for somewhere around $4700 or $4800. Not sure exactly but somewhere in there.
The room erupted in a roar of claps at the end.

Some knives picked up. The removable scales on the 110 are pretty cool. This OD Green is doing it for me,

As a newbie to the knife collecting game, but a Buck 110 fan, is this removable scale 110 something that can be bought currently by the masses? It looks really cool!

To me, being at an event like that would be like being in paradise.

No, this is only for BCCI members. You have to join the club, you can do an E-membership for cheap. There is a very limited amount of these. When they are sold out, they are gone.

good warning Sir. I could see once ya get around that many knives and choices it'd be real hard to resist......unless one had no money with 'em.:)
 
I asked David to keep his eyes open for any 112's and send pictures and prices to see what might be available later this year on the Bay..He sent one with Joe's wife holding a NS, barehanded Elk with a Anvil on one side and something else on the other. Anybody snag a cool Custom 112 at the party?
 
Don't recall seeing many 112's at the factory, but I wasn't looking either, Gene had some Yellow horses.
