Received a 20% off email from Buck which also says it includes custom shop orders and if I take advantage, not sure what to get. I have the following Bucks:
- 110's, in the standard configuration (clip point, brass/ebony) and a nickel silver drop point, both are 420HC
- 112's, both in nickel silver, on with a clip point/420HC and one drop point in S30V
- Standard 119, black phenolic handle in 420HC
- 102, 103 & 117 with cocobolo handles in 420HC
- 113 Ranger skinner
- 055 that's brass and ebony, 420HC
- a couple 110 & 112 Slim selects that are beaters
Been thinking about a 301 or 303. I have a few classic Victorinox knives (Huntsman, Sportsman, and a few Alox models) that kind of cover similar ground as a Stockman or Cadet, but they just look coo. My only hesitation is I have read mixed reviews of the new models concerning fit and finish issues.
I use my knives for EDC, live in a few acres and usually have a 110 or 112 on me when I'm outside working or in the woodshed, usually use an old Bark River knife for skinning, but looking forward to trying the 113 Skinner and 103 Skinner next season. Only deer I got this year was when I hit it with my vehicle! (In my state you are able to take roadkill, so I took it home and processed it).
What would you all recommend I add to the current collection? Not super big into Custom Shop knives, but maybe could be persuaded. Also always been a fan of the tried and true 420HC steel since it sharpens so easily and you can get a really nice edge on it with minimal effort, but again, also open to trying out something new.
