Whats the first buck you ever owned?

My first is a two dot 3 pin 110. Just retired it this past hunting season. Got a new 110 Alaskan S30V
 
My first Buck was an old 102 that my father bought me for Christmas for going camping. That was back around 1960. After that, the first one I bought on my own was a 110 followed quickly by a 112 in the early 70's.
 
A 503 Prince, it was a gift from my wife just before we hitched about 25 years ago. As it turned out she hooked me twice, her and Buck.
 
110 from the early 70's. "Confiscated" by an MP at Fort Polk, Louisiana 1975.
Goose.
BCCI 1190
 
116,then Kalinga and every fixed blade except the General.Late 70's to late 90's.including 3 nice 110 customs.
 
Technically is was a Buck 311 Trapper that said "Winchester" on the shield. Was a Camillus contract knife that was special ordered for Winchester employees by a sales rep. in the early 80's. Only 500 were made, along with 500 301's with the Winchester shield. It was traded to me by my brother who got it from his father-in-law who was a longtime Winchester employee (Olin USA). Never used it, and like a fool sold it....still have the 301 though. Really rare.

My first Buck knife I actually bought and used was my Custom Shoppe Elk 110.
 
mine was a 120 general in 1976. loved it, never had occasion to use it though. ahgar
 
I've told this story before, but here it goes again...

When I was six my grandfather handed me a brown leather sheath, telling me that a good fisherman needs a good knife. I opened it up and this huge hunk of wood and steel and brass fell out into my hands. The knife was at least 15 years old when he gave it to me in 1987, but it was in beautiful condition, and still is.

For a long time Buck meant knife to me, and to some extent it still does. Others came and went, but that first 110 was a constant companion. These days I don't carry my 110s anymore because I've come to dislike carrying a folder in a sheath, but the 110s are still my favorites just to play with.
 
A 118 in 1969-70, followed by a 103 and many, many others. Preston
 
A "Bucklite", then a stag/damascus 110 - BEFORE the custom shoppe:D
 
First one was a 116 that my grandfather gave me, sometime in the early 70s (don't remember the year). Followed by the ones I bought - 110 in 1976, 118 in 1978, then a 301, 119.....the list goes on and on.
 
My wife gave me a yellow handled 303 that was made around 1990. She gave it to me in 1994 or 95. I still have it along with 30+ other Bucks. Great knives.
 
I bought my first Buck ( a 110) in 1969 when I was a junior in HS. The Carpenters were big on AM radio with "Close to You." I took the SAT the next year and scored 1260. That got me into college which was good for a student deferment for a couple years, and then I drew a so-so lotery number that didn't come up till Nixon's "Peace with Honour." Married my college girl friend in 1973. The girl is sitting over there on the sofa as I type this:) ...tossed the knife after busting the blade years ago. :(
 
Mine was a Pathfinder bought in the early 70's then a 110 shortly after. I still have and use both plus forty or fifty more. Walt
 
I can't rember which came first a 102 or a old style Bucklite. The 102 wasn't around long:confused: and I carried the Bucklite for 2 or 3 years when it was replaced with an old 110fg which I carried for 10 years or so. I don't know what happend to my old Bucklite either.
