The extended wait times are frustrating. My advice? Ease the pain by purchasing another knife whilst you wait for your Kalinga Pro's return.

The mail lady has been down my driveway a few times this week.

I'll play with these for a bit.

That's the way to suffer

I might be in trouble..and go to Buck Jail. I just bought a like new V1V1 112 will engraved bolsters and a brass bail on the rear bolster..Pictures when it gets here!!

Trouble with buying online is, it takes so long for the new bauble to arrive that the impulse is still there. I've been on a multi year study to determine the effective strategies for the control and remediation of advanced collecting symptoms. Still no definitive results or advice for other sufferers, but if you would like to help fund this project you can pm me and I'll send you a ppal link

When it's a new knife, I call and ask for a return shipping label. I think I've always got one.

Same. I have always been able to obtain a return shipping label on a new knife when needed.

I do remember we did a few 112's with mod 500 blades to get a drop point without shortening the blade (like what happens if you grind the clip point off...)
I just found this by Chuck on Drop point 112's
Not many and never a series or real model offering. Just tinkering...

That would have been very early 80's

Bought a couple 110s and a couple 112's to travel with Joe's Brahma from the web blast.

Returned from Tennessee last night. Picked up my mail and these two were waiting on me
Also went to town and got my first shot
Custom 722 with s35vn and G-10 and an orange 110LT:


Not the most subtle, but it should be easy to keep track of

Wow! I gotta say I really like the looks of the orange 722. Looks so much better in your pictures versus Buck's 722 custom builder website.

It works. Not a great slice, but considering the structural integrity of this particular tomato, its not bad

A generous forum member knew I wanted to rehandle a 102 in stacked leather but didn't want to mess up a good knife, so they offered me a 102 they had with a broken handle.
For about the cost of a fast food lunch I got a nice ( all things considered) '86 dated 102, and a bonus flap sheath.
Doesn't belong to the knife but I absolutely love it and it's my first flap sheath, no clue what model it's actually for though.

Will do.

You know what, it driven dawn on me that this was 425m.
It will be interesting to compare in sharpening.
I didn't notice much difference from all my other bucks when sharpening my 705 in 425m though, so I imagine a similar situation here.

The first time I tried stacked leather on a Buck was the 212 and that was a failure.
This should be much more straightforward because I won't be reshaping the fittings, I just really have to perfectly nail down the pin position in the pommel.

I'm almost contemplating using washers with slits so I do have to remove the pommel, but I'm not sure how that would go.

I find 425m a bit, as in tiny bit better edge holding. dont have many examples myself in it but do have a couple.

slitted washers. hadn't thought of that. might work if glued with right epoxy or glue. then again might not let ya get them on tight enough to be stable? could always try it if failed cut them off, and try again old fashioned way removing pin. have to think on that one.......
