What Buck are you carrying today?

Tonight for church. While I’ve been carrying it a little bit lately, tonight was the first time it was in my pocket without the leather slip.

I’ll be heading out tomorrow on a 6 day road trip to Georgia and South Carolina for a friend’s wedding. Seriously considering carrying this figure it would be a good way to knock the new off 9A77C077-7F86-47ED-8DD7-E96DEFEB7996.jpeg

Good idea, I like beautiful stag handles on my ceremonial knives - the ones I carry for weddings, funerals, pinning, and other formal events. OH

I carry a couple of other stag knives pretty regularly. I just have had issues wanting to carry this one since getting it. I bought one to put up and one with the intention of carry but just now getting to it.😁

Got Ol' Faithful with me today,(Plain Jane 110 from 1987), only because I still haven't found my 486.😟
When I asked the 2I/C if she knows were it is, her reply was, "No, but it will be the last place you look." Bl**dy comedian. :rolleyes:

Today's hip carry is my trusted trail partner for the past 42 years... 1980 Buck 112 Just an all around fine knife. I must confess though, that it shares hip time with my 1995 Elk scaled Nickel Silver 112 in recent years. That, along with my 1988 Buck 303 Redbone Cadet in my front jeans pocket is about all I need to get through the day.

This 112 cleaned a lot of Channel Cats and Flatheads in its younger years. Today we're preparing for about a 30-40 degree drop in temperature overnight, therefore the Columbia and gloves.

This knife is a testament to Buck's quality. 42 years of use, resharpening and daily carrying and it looks new. Does not look like any blade metal has been removed from the years of use.
A person could have a 112, 105 and 307 and not need any additional knives.
Nice photo. Stay warm

Or... a 112 Ranger, a 303 Cadet, and a 121 Fisherman.
That 112 blade steel, I believe to be 440C, is second to none for my purposes. It has it all over the 420HC and 425M as far as I'm concerned.
The 112 fits my hand much more comfortably than the 110.
I would like to see a 112 in a non-locking model. Honestly, I'm growing weary of using both hands to close my knife up.

Very nice. There’s nothing like a knife with a history of use.
 
It’s back on my desk today. Love this knife. But I happened to notice the blade tip was kicked slightly to the right when closed, and we can’t have that. Gave the pivot screw about 1/8 of a turn, and it brought that puppy right back to center. This knife is quickly taking sole possession of that special place in my heart.
