What Buck are you carrying today?

[hunterjrg]

We are road tripping to Iowa to see the kids in college. Miss them. Gotta get there before 3 to see my kids start their competition. Warm weather in the Midwest has me carrying this 55 in shorts and a carbon sprint for the evening

Is Death in the Long Grass up next?

This 2023 Legacy Collection 532 in Copper, canvas Micarta, and 154-CM has been wasting away in a storage bin in the basement for too long.

To quote Joe Houser, “I know this is a radical idea but i am in favor of using knives to cut stuff with.”

And to quote Cyndi Lauper, “Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world. I wanna be the one to walk in the sun. Oh, girls, they wanna have fun.”

Knives just wanna have fun!

The edge was great out of the box. I gave it a few passes across the fine grit of Buck’s three-grit diamond rod, then a fine, and an ultra-fine ceramic, and now it’s fantastic.

Happy Friday!

Nice 532 - love the copper & micarta combo.

I think I'll pull mine out and use it to sit package duty today.

I agree about using knives. The only knife I have that hasn't been used is an Arno Bernard Meerkat in Warthog Tusk. Most of my knives still show little-to-no wear due to having so many and the fact that my heavy-use knife days are now years in my past. Most of the carbon blades do have varying states of patina.

Inspired by by Culprit99 my 532 will sit package duty with me today.

That copper looks great! Did you clean it up, or did it come out of storage looking like that?

I decided I’m going to keep it. Even with the wonky grind it’ll cut. View attachment 2985022

Looks like it has ended up where it belongs!

Lighting type and angle. If I drop it on a surface under proper lighting and match the light and image color temps, it shows a reddish patina. A recycled snap from earlier this year shows it better:

It’s been awhile since I’ve read them and recently picked them all up again at a used book store

Some good patina there

 

[hunterjrg]

Exactly. I came to my senses

Just this tiny little thing.

Usually the budgie is my only travel companion but the other two snuck their way on this trip, so I figured why not carry all 3!

The Vantage Force for the last three days and for the next three days as well. OH

Carrying this 661 Small Pursuit folder in a belt sheath. Picked this up off the bay about 1/3rd of retail as "used", but other than the orange handle color being faded, it seems to have lived a very gentle life before I obtained it.

Mini Range Pro along with a RoseCraft Peanut in Stag for today.

Those are decent knives with good blade steel. I like that it has a thumb stud but not a pocket clip. I have one just like it and I am quite fond of it.

Are you using one of the belt sheaths that Buck supplies with that model? They are somewhat unique.
