Odds and ends 50th Anniversary stuff…

Buck 110 50th Anniversary boxed set (I have two of these)

Boone and Crockett with new stamp

Buck 50th Anniversary Boone and Crocket tins times five

Cabela's Buck 50th Anniversary tins

Buck 110 50th Anniversary aluminum bottles

Buck 110 50th Anniversary hat pin, anvil and rubber mat

Ruger 10/22 50th Anniversary and Buck 110 50th Anniversary sets

I also have two 50th Anniversary sweat shirts, 2 tee shirts and 2 ball caps.

It has been a fun year to be a collector for me.
I spent way more money than I should have on my knives but it was still probably cheaper than smoking and drinking addictions. (trying to look at it in a positive way)

Twelve of the knives I've pictured are going to get new covers whenever I find the time. I already have the new covers just a waitin' for me to show up.

Good morning everyone. I hope you all had a blessed Christmas. Armand that's sorry about the box, you have every right to be angry. Mark, what a collection! You have put some hard work into that in a relatively short amount of time.

I've been stalking a lawn destroying armadillo this morning so here's a tactical theme, if there is such with Buck.

gsea · Dec 28, 2014

As some may have figured out the 317 is probably my favorite go to knife. So here is another custom with armadillo shell by Leroy.
Mark what can be said, awesome !!!

gedlicks · Dec 28, 2014

WOW!! Great show with some absolutely fantastic Pictures of some great Buck Knives. Thanks for posting them for all of us to see and enjoy.

As Armand said in his first post. Let's make this one for Chuck. In 2002 Buck Knives celebrated their 100th anniversary and came out with a set of 4 knives in a display case called "Family Favorites" with a favorite knife from Hoyt, Al, Chuck, and CJ. Chucks choice for his favorite was the 532 in mastodon ivory so I thought I would post pictures of my 532's starting with the 2 mastodon ivory ones I have. There is a total of 18.

Mark (Stumps) Your collection of 50th 110's is second to none. My hats off to you.

And yes this year has been a great year for knife collecting and I fear this next year may even be better.

Stumps · Dec 28, 2014

The next four pictures are not mine, but the knife is on it's way to me.
When Mark posted about the Buck/Hood boot knife that was not going to market, I knew I needed one to go with the rest of my Buck/Hood collection.

I picked this one up for $73.00 which I thought was a fair price.

Here are my Buck/Hoods; (three of the duplicate Hoodlums have gone on to new homes)

gsea · Dec 28, 2014

Just to keep up with the 110 50th theme, a old stamp stag

mwputnam · Dec 28, 2014

Here's a few more 50th 110's to add to today's SPS. What a good way to close out the year!

STEELHEADBULLY · Dec 28, 2014

Big Fan of the Stag on that 121 JB!!!

So as James mentioned(which convinced me to pull out the camera), Chuck Bucks Knife in the 2002 Family Favorites was the Mastodon Bark Ivory handled 532 with a 154CM steel blade

All of the family favorites were based on a previously released model...The 1997 Mastodon Bark handled 532 was Chucks Pick!!!!!

Also one of my favorite models and handle material!!!!!

:thumbup:

Very impressed with the bare head pearl 532 in that fine collection. It would be my 1st pick after the Mastodons

DeSotoSky · Dec 28, 2014

Wow, some really extraodinary knives on display this week. For something a little less exotic, here are a 691 Zipper and 692 Vanguard from my collection that you don't see to often, the handles were dipped to simulate blue marble. It was a special project for "SMU", I'm uncertain who SMU is, Smoky Mountain is a thought but the "U" is throwing me. any ideas? There were other knives in the series, I'll save them for another show.

Awesome knives Haebbie. Im curious, what type of scales are those?

The scales are made of artificial mother of pearl with colored layers under the scales.

Here is a nice collection of Buck knives I purchased from a seller in Pawtucket RI last month. Some are pretty unique and the first 4 displayed are sterling silver. There was also a bone fish inlay on buffalo horn but unfortunately the seller described it as ivory so ebay deleted the pictures. I was going to use the silver Colt buckle to display with my 4 Buck Colt knives. Long story short, the seller took my money and ran, he never shipped me the knives & quit answering his email. I paid over $600 for these pictures so I might as well get some use out of them.... enjoy. ;o)

Roger,That sucks... I hope it turns out good for you...

Boy those two vanguards are beautiful... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

ItsTooEarly · Dec 28, 2014

Wow... is for sure... Lots of sweet Buck Knives today... Thanks everyone for sharing... :thumbup:

110 Mammoth Ivory... I found this one in a box at a ex-Buck-employee home with lots
of knife parts on top it... It really needs to go to Leroy's for a spa job...

But I really like it the way it is...

Looks like it opens and closes just fine....I like it the way it is also

maybe a quick polish of the bolsters, but not really needed!!

Great Show today!!

Here is a photo of the Commander & Chief doing his thing to a few of my Buck knives at BPS a few years ago.

Get well soon MR. Buck
