I know folks here have lots of Bucks, and it's pointless to choose one knife out of all. But, for the time being, what is your favorite Buck knife? What gets used/carried/fondled the most out of all your Bucks? Please include a photo if you can!

For me, it's my large Vantage Select. I flip it a lot, and it does the odd job around the house and gets kitchen duty:

My favorite Buck knife is my asian water buffalo horn(smooth) 110. It has sliver blosters and rivets.
 
I'm with you dogstar. Although I like all my Bucks, my favorite (especially for edc) is my Vantage(s).

I'm actually kind of embarrassed to say, but it's my Buck Redpoint (definitely not a traditional Buck). Carried often, used often, fondled often. I like the safe spin lock. And it's comfortable to hold and use. I'll buy it again if it becomes US made and if it is ever sold in a plain edge.

NEVER be embarrassed to admit you carry ANY Buck, my good man. What's important is that it's a Buck you carry. Why, some on here even like those itty bitty 300's. :eek:;) (Please don't ban me!) :)
 
LawnDuck, cool choice with the Redpoint. It has some interesting design features. I agree with you; made in the USA + plain edge would be great. Asking as a leftie, this is a decidedly right-handed knife, right?
 
Good question! And one with a few answers :)

Most used would be 932 Slicer. That knife is awesome for homemade loafs of bread, meat etc... used alot daily.
Most carried edc, and most used edc, 279 Alpha Folder. Absolutely love this knife.



Favorite to look at lately, but not really a good edc around these parts. 690 CSAR-T
Also is the sharpest edge from the factory I have gotten yet :)
The sheath is pretty sweet too!

 
Alas, The pocket clip is only one position: right hand tip down. The lock button does need to be engaged to open the knife, so it is possible to open left handed using my middle finger on the button. But based on the clip and one sided button, it's a right handed knife.
 
For EDC my favorite Buck is this 303; for general purpose hunting (turkey season coming up soon) my favorite is this 118. OH

A Buck 110!

Okay, my Buck Custom Shop 110 in teardrop Damascus, nickel silver bolsters, and flaming koa wood scale may be a bit over the top, but it sure was fun to show off to a couple of knife-snobs when asked the very same question. It quieted their response that the 110 was, "That knife you get from WallyWorld!". Not that it needs my defending it, but the basic 110 is a heck of a pocket knife.

My second favorite is the 172 Mayo Kaala, shown below with my favorite S&W, a PC627 UDR.

Picking a Favorite BUCK is tough but I will go with Odyssey, 110 and 118. I enjoy other BUCK knifes but that is the fun of collecting BUCKS.

If you are gonna make me pic one this would be it. Alpha series knives are my favorite.
Although My favorite edc is a Spitfire- my edc knife has to be serrated ,have a clip and take abuse love how you can reposition the clip.
the 124 would get the award for beauty in simplicity.
