What Did You Cut with Your Buck (Yesterday or Today)?

Today I got home from work and my wife decided to tear up all the carpeting in the dining room and throw it in the garage...

I used my nice Nighthawk from Goose to cut it up into 2' wide strips to roll up for the junkman... The knife never dulled and It cut flawlessly for 20 minutes :D
Thanks again Goose! ( side note: I used my Tempest 154CM first but it was too hard on my hands, the nice ergonomic grip and heft of the nighthawk was PERFECT!!!!!!!! (sliced through like butter)
Then when I was done I played mumbly peg for a few minutes :D
 
Jim...Glad to hear that you had fun with a Buck knife today.:thumbup:

When are you going to post some fish photo's?.:confused:

I did not get a free knife...:grumpy:

Out on the plantation today. :D Had to attend to a river birch next to the homestead, planted to close 15 years ago. Couple of the trunks were banging again the roofline, so I needed to pull them back.
Decided to give the Buck Sirus a workout since all it had cut was envelopes.
Started out with some poly rope.

Next was a couple of feet of old garden hose. Cut thru it like butter.

Cut right thru the poly rope and the hose, no problem.

Up a 12 foot ladder and tied off the trunk to one next to it.;)

Chopped and hacked off a tree branch that was in my way.

Finished on that job! Put this bad boy away!

Dont ever get caught up a tree without your Buck!:D
 
Yesterday I spent most of the day putting a garden wagon and a cargo carrier (the kind that mounts in your trailer hitch) together. I am not a fan of "some assembly required," no sir, I am not.

Afterward, I had to deal with a big, thick, cardboard box. When my dad asked me if I had a "sharp knife," out came the Buck 110 with BG-42 and I proceeded to reducing the box to small pieces.

Afterward, it was about as dull as it has been since I've owned it. Restoring a hair-popping edge only took a few strokes on a mostly worn-out EZLap rod, but I had to do it a few times since I kept ruining my work trying to get it JUST a little sharper and failing.

Cardboard is really hard on an edge. I think this box has some sand filling the corrugations in the cardboard too, as it rattled and hissed when you moved the box around like sand was rolling around in it.

Cool pics Hoe3. I never thought of the Sirus as a booty. I will have to try that. :thumbup:

At frist glance of the "hose" pic, I thought your were cutting through some electrical conduit :eek:

Cut Nicorette out of sealed packageing with my Buck Iceman. I'm trying to
quit smoking.

Best of luck on that CL :thumbup:
That Nicorette worked for me. But I had to wait until I craved a smoke. I took my first chew of it after 2-3 days of driving my family nuts when I quit. The wife got some frustrated with my less than normal happy mood I guess. I woke up and there was a package of Nicorette on the counter. Tore that puppy open and chewed a piece. Laid on the couch like I was on morphenine (sp?).

Chewed that stuff for three years. No smoking. Then I got in a wreck that resulted in three fractures in my left jaw/face. Couldn't chew. Yesterday, I used my 889SBMF to slice open a carton of menthol lights :( :thumbdn:

Bummed Up Goose (not for squeamish...some peeps don't like the pic of my leg while they are eating rare prime rib :) ) : http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=9AZuWjZw2ZMqs

Goose! :eek: JHC!:eek: Those photos gave me the shakes! :eek: I had to dump my Harley last June in a roundabout cause some dumbass woman decided to stop dead in the middle of the damn thing..:mad: ..broke my left leg and chewed some flesh on the shoulder and knee...but nothing like that! Was that on your bike?:confused:
 
Dave and Hoe3...
Glad you enjoyed the pics :)

I was riding that blue Softail in the same gallery of pics. Totaled. The bike skipped up when the left floorboard hit the pavement in a turn. Bike tossed and landed on me with the rear footpeg going through my leg.

No Buck knives were harmed in the performance of that stunt ;)
 
Well...I took Decaf's 110 Damascus and sacrificed it to the world of salami cutting. Cut the stick-o-meat like it was butter.
Got a OAB on it now. That is the sign to the rest of the herd that says, "hey you closet queens! I'm the Big Dawg now!!!".

So, I guess since Dave cut himself on the same knife, I got Decaf Cooties.
Which lends itself to the question I had in another thread..."where has this knife been?" :confused: :eek:

BTW, anyone know what year or range of years this may have been made? Old style FG and tang stamp (regret the shadow in the pic).

Ok, I have already publically admitted that I am a so-called "collector" and not a "user" of my Buck knives. :o That being said, I posted earlier this week about cutting up some garden hose and poly rope with my Buck Sirus.
Well, yesterday I picked up my Sirus to cut a cardboard box in half and I noticed the knife having a rough time making the cuts. :confused: After finishing with the box I grabbed a piece of that same poly rope and tried cutting it several times. The Sirus could hardly cut that same rope!:eek: After trying this with several pieces and several cuts with the rope fraying, instead of nice, clean cuts, I decided the Sirus must be dull! :grumpy: Can this be?? :confused: The knife has had very little use, mostly opening envelopes, and my use last weekend. :( Is this typical? I wonder if the cardboard is especially hard on an edge. The cardboard I cut was fairly thin stuff kinda like what a cereal box is made of so I didnt think that it would be a big challenge. I do not have any sharpening stones, etc (remember, I already admitted I am not a user) nor do I know the first thing about sharpening a knife. Should this knife have kept its edge or is this typical in the field? :confused: I read the Buck website about sharpening knives but really think I would probably really mess this knife up if I tried to sharpen it.:foot:
Comments anyone? thanks!
 
HoeDown...
What Sirus do you have?
I have a set of 298GY Sirus knives from Larry The Rodent.
One is a spare that I am keeping in case the one I am using regularly walks away.
Both are ATS-34 steel. The user has been used quite a bit for the past few months and I have not needed to sharpen it.
So, I am wondering what model/steel your knife has.

And, thanks for bumping this thread up. :) Still wondering what year the knife in the post below was made:

In the short time that I have had my 889SBMF (420HC), I have used it as much as I have the 298GY (ATS-34). The 889SBMF needs sharpening on a regular basis.
 
I used my trusty Buck Mayo TNT yesterday to cut the ends off a bouquet of flowers that a co-worker had bought for one of our admin support people. (This was support your admin staff week) The bunch was about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and the TNT was able to cut through in no time at all and oh yeah....it's still as sharp as ever. :thumbup:
