What Buck are you carrying today?

[DGladden]

Got my 4 dot 110 back from warranty yesterday. Carrying it today.

 

[RickHuf]

My new boots came yesterday! Same as the ones that I retired a couple months ago. Those had over ten years on them.

Ten years?!!? Crikey! who made them? I usually go through 1-2 pair a year between work boots and lighter hiking boots.

These are only a couple weeks old. First pair of Keens. I'm not quite sold on them yet. Definitely a good quality pair but I'm hurting from them. Got some insoles over the weekend hopefully that helps.

They're Irish Setters. Made by Red Wing. They have Goodyear welts, so they can be resoled. The pair that I just retired were worn just about every day, about nine months a year, and were resoled twice. My wife had been after me to get rid of them for a long time. Just like my old Carhart jacket.

That's a heck of a review there. I'm going to have to check them out! Very nice.

One of my favorite 112s.

Well 2025 is off to a great start! I added another Buck Knives Custom Shop Knife to the collection. The Black Palm Wood is absolutely beautiful with Brass Bolsters.

If I ever order another knife from the Custom Shop, I think it'll have black palm handles

Blaze orange, stainless and synthetic, is always good choice when a drop in the snow is a possibility

Yeah, they look good. I don't remember ever seeing any with palm wood before.

Agreed.
I got a 113 awhile back, and plan to get a 112.
Unfortunately there's no palm handle option on a 110.

That is gorgeous! Are the dimples in the wood smooth to the touch?

Thank you. It is actually smooth.

Good looking boots.

They're Irish Setters. Made by Red Wing. They have Goodyear welts, so they can be resoled. The pair that I just retired were worn just about every day, about nine months a year, and were resoled twice. My wife had been after me to get rid of them for a long time. Just like my old Carhart jacket.

I tried the USA made Redwing work boots. After about 5 minutes walking a blister was developing on my right heel. They went back. I wore Irish Setters year ago when I hunted a lot. They were a great hunting boot.
Just when things are getting broken in, it is time to retire them

What's your trick for keeping the brass so nice? I swear my brass 110's and 112's go from Flitz shiny to dull in about 5 minutes.

There's no trick. It's just the angle or the lighting. It's been carried & used every day since it came, five months ago, and I've never polished it. Here's a pic from Monday, when it was cloudy:

This is why I love brass, it just gets better looking with age.
