Anyone with access to Mr. Peabody’s Way Back Machine could drop into 1960 and see me as a young Squid in San Diego buying my first Buck Knife. Over the years, I’ve had many of them to support my various hobbies, but I never thought of myself as a collector. In fact, I didn’t even realize that they were a collectable item. I just genuinely liked Buck’s and found them to be the right tool no matter the job. Lately, thanks to this site, I’ve started to pay attention, and a few of them are following me home with a disturbing regularity. Also, I’ve been digging out some oldies, and putting new edges on them with a razor strop. Of course, Mrs. Snotwad has noticed. Last week I had to explain the difference between fixed and folders, as well as the general superior qualities of Buck knives. Now, on to the point. Today I accompanied her to a Dr. visit, and while sitting in the waiting room, she suddenly exclaimed, “What happened to your leg?” I looked down and as my hairy legs were sticking out of my shorts, I could see that just north of my left knee was a big ole bald spot. “Not to worry”, I cheerfully assured her; “it’s just where I check the sharpness of my knives.” She gave me her famous your nuts look and said, “Those Buck knives are a disease”.
 
Here are some symptoms:

Snotwad,
I think we've all seen that "look" or some facimile of it over the years. My wife thinks it's so funny she shows them to her freinds when they come over and they all shake their heads in disbelief and say they all look alike. I personally don't understand how they can say that. :o

BABACANOOSH45 I see you have a couple of 110's with a gold tint to the blade do you have any info on these?
This is a 110 I recently picked up. I was told by "Joe H" it is gold plated he went by the # on the box he has not seen the knife.
If anyone knows history I would like to know.

i belive that it is what is called ionfuson.
if it is sharpened only on one side then that is what it is..
it has a high rockwell number but it is only skin deep on the steel
for meat work like dressing out game it is fab..
for a construction work knife .. well it has been known to chip..
there are several colors of this stuff..
so far i have like 5 of them...
 
Thanks Dave, I was going to point him in your direction since you were kind enough to let me adopt these two. I am sure you know more about them then I do. ~baba~

I got two big bald spot on my both leg,just little bit lower just around my ankle up to my midcalf.Is that mean I'm entiteled for sick payment?
Is ther any cure for that out there????
 
The worst Buck I have ever bought was a 560XLT - the Ti knife with a 110 blade of 420HC. The blade is sticky in rotation - and difficult to unlock. The blade is perfectly made, centered, and sharpened, of course. I think the Ti handle slabs just galled when they bored them for the pivots. Still, a definite keeper - like all of my 110s.

I don't think they know how make a bad knife in ID...
