There is something elegant about an object that is absolutely utilitarian and yet at the same time shows a simplistic beauty. A knife fits that bill. It is one of the most basic and yet most usefull tools that we still use today. It's simplicity, form/function and ability to display multiple artforms; its ability to use either new or traditional materials, and their display of superior craftsmanship make them very attractive as collectibles for folks such as us who appreciate all the above! :thumbup: Buck knives, and specifically for me the 110 folding hunter, epitomize all those qualities and I think that is why it has sustained the popularity it has over the years. The ability for a specific knife to capture all those qualities and then throw in a limit on the quantity would make it very collectible.

Thanks Mr. P.,
My first HeeBeeGeeBee-42.
Yeah, when I first looked at it I was wondering what was different. Then I too noticed the rocker pin, or lack of it being exposed.
The workmanship is outstanding.

Verry well said mike! i have to agree with you and wish i had thought of that phraseing...
it truly seems that there are thoes who bnought 110 in the early years and fell in 'love' with the knife and quality and forever guarenty... and still hold to them as collecters or 'jest getting one more' and thoes who are younger and finding that buck is truly an 'old tried and found true' knife and like the newer steels and handle materales as much as us old tarts... it is refreshing to see so many that like the art of the diffrent folks who tinker with bucks basic design. i feel that buck with all the veratiuons and "Odd Slips" along nwith the simi custrom order on the 110 and other modles realy makes it hard "to get them all"
and to top it off with customer service that you jest dont see from the old days any more .... you guys realy have expressed a lot of diffrent reasons and i share many of them.... including it is likely that one day my daughter will pick out some pirty ones for her self (as she now has about 4 of them in texas ) as she likes sharpe things also and sell the rest in estate to new collectiors ...
she has always liked my knives tho i did not let her play/have one of them like i should have when she was a kid = like many would with boys...

do many of youa'l do as i ... that is sell one only to buy one you want more?
have ANY of you ever made any money off your buck knives?
