What Buck knife most interests you? If you could change that knife in some way what change would you most like to see?
 
I guess the 110 most interests me. I carried one for over 10 years when I was a younger man. I would like to have one with a 1095 carbon steel blade. That would be really something. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing.

I like any Buck Knife that is something unusual or is no longer made. Customs, limited editions, special steels, etching, one of a kinds, low productions, vintage, etc. Not too much into regular production models although I do have some.
 
Dreaming…..I would combine my two favorites, a 110 and a Paradigm and come up with a Paradigm 110.
 
Buck 110s, 112s and the Bucklites 422s and 426s.

What would I change? I have a 1969 110, I haven't weighed it, but is seems a little lighter and a little slimmer profile and a little more pocket friendly. I'd like to see the current 110 go back to looking like some of the earlier versions of itself.
 
I wish the 500 series of knives were made with flat grind. Would prefer to see a flat grind in the full tang fixed blades as well.

Hollow grinds have their place but flat is where it's at.
 
I like the Vantage Select Small, 340. I would like to see one in High Carbon steel with a hard 90 degree spine. Jigged bone handles would also be a nice addition.

I like the smaller 112's compared to the 110's..! I donated all of my 110's to a few friends and a Boy Scout Troop years ago and then had all of my 112's Engraved and I am slowly having them donated here and there. Think I am down to 8 Knives now and 6 or so that I need to send off to get Engraved.!** Couple of people here on the Forums have one of my 112's and really like them.^^ { think they think I am crazy for passing a Engraved Knife away.! } To each his own I always say.!**
Feels good to make people feel good especially when they are not expecting you to.!!
 
I would also love a110 with 1095.
Also, wolf-man-12, you do know my mailing address, I hope. You could always message me, if you don't have it, just in case you need it... :-)
 
Probably the 110. If I could change anything it would be to have an adjustable pivot, micarta scales, and maybe the option of a thumb-stud. This would be on top of the usual production 110 so that people could still buy the classic.
 
I am a 110 & 112 user since 1972. I'd love to see Buck make a 110 auto that would be covered by their lifetime warranty. You know they would build a beauty.

 
124 Frontiersman. I can't look at enough photos, and read enough information about this Buck.

That bottom Auto is gorgeous. How made it if you don't mind my asking?

You're just not informed as Buck has done this many times. Here's one, Buck did for Cabela's some years back. DM

I would like to see a Hoodlum juuuuuust a bit thicker and without that silly little notch
 
I like Buck's offering of the 110 Skinner. So, I modified their current 103 to look like the 110. DM
 
That flat grind looked great! Is there a classic fixed blade model that they have never done that on?
