What's your latest BUCK?

How do you like it? I thought I was "over" liner locks but after handling one at Bass Pro Shops I had to buy one. It's a great knife.
 
i got it at the big river without ever handling one, and it feels bigger than i thought it would, but ok. i read that many of these had blade centering issues but this one is perfect. i thought it would be sharper than it is, but i'll just touch it up. i like the feel of the semi-polished g10 and the flipper works great :)
 
Got this 112 two dot for 9$ off the bay.....It came with a name engraved on the front bolster and a previous owner tried to sharpen it by holding the entire side on the stone...
got it to where I can respectably carry and use it

Sounds like someone used one of those old grinding wheels and used it the wrong way.
Looks nice now, and the price is right.
 
Well, today I picked up a couple of FBs: a Vantage Force, Select (large) and a BuckLite 426, Orange.

The defects were 1) slight scratch in the black finish on the Vantage, and 2) asymmetrical grind on the swedge of the 426.

The Vantage blade is centered, the lock fully engages, and it opens smoothly, both with thumb and with flip. The edge is defect-free.

The 426 (except for the swedge) is completely normal, good snap, tight lock, no play, sharp, and the edge is defect-free.


Happy birthday to me.

 
I've been wanting one of these for a while now to use around the yard and shop. This one was gotten pretty cheaply because of listed "issue" that blade would come out 3/8 inch or so....a little detail cleanig with WD40 and it's perfectly fine. I can't wait to put this freshly sharpened 425mod steel back to work!:)

I have owned the 124 on top since about 1984. That was the only 124 I've ever had....until today. I found a guy that was moving back to England and didn't think he could take the bottom 124 with him. He sold it to me for $75.00 and I didn't have to do anything to it....it's just as good as the day it was made. :)

It's been a good day!!! :)
 
a buck 303 and a 301.
carried the 303 for a while, but the sheepsfoot blade was kind of recurved and had uneven angles, so i managed to ruin it with my "regrind abilities".
oh well, im with the 301 in my pocket now, sent the 303 to a knifemaker, hoping maybe he can salvage something of that blade, with some real skills in that area.
 
Nice pair BG!

Got this 110 at Wallyworld today....Something about this just feels Wrong......:D
