I just picked up my first Buck, a very nice 110 here on the forum. I wasn't expecting to like it but I love it. Any recommendations for my next Buck purchase? What is another must have Buck folder? Thanks!
 
Folding Buck? The 112 or another 110 would be my pick.
SK Blades has a couple nice Special Orders of the 110 LT available. The Smoke Jumper and the Shield. The Smoke Jumper has a red FRN handle, CPM154 clip point blade. The Shield has a blue FRN handle and a drop point CPM154 blade.
Both come with a black nylon sheath with same color as the knife banding.
C&C has both 110 and 112 available with different covers and 5160 carbon steel blades.
 
afishhunter - thanks for your suggestions. i just ordered two knives from skblades - the smoke jumper and the silver fox. can't wait!
 
Now that you have some Buck folders (and very good ones) you should look over the 100 series of fixed blades for a traditional great American hunting knife. If hunting isn't you thing, look at some of their tactical and woods tools fixed blades - so much to chose from! OH
 
You can get a real nice Spitfire from their custom shop if you're interested in a more modern looking knife.
 
Might as well pick up anything SK has, they are all upgraded Buck knives. Don't forget the 501 Goodfella to go along with the Silver Fox. I carry mine every day.

The Buck 532 mid lock is a Sawby designed folder that complements your 110. It's more pocket friendly, has a different but very functional shape, for me it's more comfortable and the midlock is slick. There's a reason it was chosen by Remington :)
 
Another vote for the 501. It is, by far, my most carried Buck; and I have one with me most days.

is the buck 532 still in production?

It's available in a special edition on the Buck site. It's available as the Remington Bullet knife made by Buck. I got mine on the secondary market at $60. I've seen it at gun shows.
 
RE: Shield and Goodfella recommendations. Both are sold out.
In addition to SK Blades, Copper & Clad and DLT also have SFO upgraded Bucks. I've never ordered from DLT, but they get high marks here on BF. I have ordered from both SK and C&C and recommend both.
As to specific recommendations, the 112, 55 and 501 are all good. I'm very fond of the 112 Slim Pro Plus that I have.
