Nuto,

Your trying to cause trouble? Lol, I have more than two over the years. The problem is each time I see another one it's the one I just have to have.

nutoknives where is your holy grail?
here's mine, photos are taken from others (if I had them to photograph they wouldn't be my holy grails) there is one other smkw etched blade I believe, can't remember what it is right now.





 
I just bought and received one of the Buck Knives that would have been at the top of my list and paid dearly for it. This last year I have bought and crossed off a few of the knives that would have been on the top end of my list.

I have too many that I still am looking for me to list. For me it is any of the hard to find old Buck custom shop knives.

Top of the list would maybe be the Buck #915 Branded Bowie. I think a needle in a haystack would be easier to find though.
 
I still find a must have all the time, then there are the wants, then to good to pass up and so on and so forth. As Armand said....sick.

So here is the one that got away and haunts me to this day (Holy Grail?). Years back I see this 905 Mountain Man Bowie on the bay, wow it was a way over the top custom. It had a large crown stag handle, and a gold etch. The gold etch is what made this one so unique, it was the mountain man on horseback that is on a few 103 blades (Armand has the 103). The price was just out of my price range. Then after watching it get re-listed many times over months and months, the price dropped (It was now in my price range). However, the auction was going to end when I was out of town hunting. So I had to place a bid before I left (normally I would bid with 4 seconds left). When I got home I saw that I lost the bid by $5 (it was the only other bid) and to a resale dealer:(. Heck, now I wish I had a photo of that knife to just look at!

Nuto, this is a trick question... I buy anything that looks good
to me at the time... Some times a whole collections just to get
a few knives that I want... The problem is I don't need them, I
just want them... I'm infected with Buckitis...

I have to say there are a few that I really wanted and got and
didn't get... A Mammoth Ivory D-Guard almost got one the other
day... I got the Gold Etch Colt 124 from Jb4570 (John) I got the
Gold Etch Colt 110 a special one... I didn't get the 500 yet... But
I hope too... I got a Gold Etch Buffalo 110 from Jb4570... I looked
for that one for years... Thanks John... And I got a Brass 111...
and a lot more Bucks but I can go on and on... My favorites Buck
Knives are Bucklites, Selector's, 560's, 186's, 184's, 102's, all 100's,
Bowie's, any Buck with Stag or Ivory handles and so on...

But I collect just about any Buck Knife made... I'm Sick... :eek::eek::eek:

:)
 
Here's the 103 blade that jb4570 was talking about...
I'm going to have Leroy, Stone or David Yellowhorse
put a handle on it... I really like it the way it is... :thumbup:

103...

Okay, Nuto,

You started this. What is on your list?

Let's call it "Knives I never expect to own."

The very very first Buck folding knife. One blade, hand forged in the shed in San Diego, CA. War surplus lifeboat knife handle with hand made and hand stamped Buck blade. Blade likely a old file or part of one heat treated in that shed. Why I will never have one ? Because of the high collector price.


Likely a prototype and I only know of one. Made years before Camillus close down.


Another proto, in same hands as one above. Same situation and time frame.


Will likely never find one, only a few were made with impression. Right at the end of the Buck models life. Now that I show this someone will make some fakes so beware.


That's enough to show, there are a few more but some are just tiny differences from there common brothers and you have to have a eagles's eye to spot them. I have had a chance at a couple of these but I just won't spend that much on a knife I likely won't display or even handle. It would be locked away and I doubt I would handle but maybe once a year. 300
