What's your newest Buck knife

My wife recently bought me a new 110 Pro for my birthday, with S30V blade, G10 handle, and Nickel bolsters, purchased directly from Buck.
Beautiful to look at and to hold. I have wanted this knife for some time now.

However, as soon as I pulled it out of the box I could see the blade centering was way off, maybe not technically touching the liner, but within the width of a sheet of paper from rubbing.
And after a little closer look, I could see that the tip of the knife, maybe the last 3/16" or so, is bent in the opposite direction of the off-center blade.
I seriously doubt it, but it looks almost intentional as if the tip was touching and then it was bent in a way so as not to rub.

In any case, it's going back to Buck.
Can't wait for its replacement to get here!

I remember some blem knives had grinds that favored one side. This reminds me of those. Im sure Buck will get this taken care of quickly.

Here's a 110 I just bought at WM...
Lovely Cerlicam ebony scales, not black, but brown with tan intermingled(not streaked). Centered blade, it's a little gritty, but will flush out and be just fine.
What a deal!

Mine was a little gritty as well out of the box.
Bit of dish liquid and warm water and she's good to go.:thumbsup:
 
Just got this today from the local pawn shop for $30!
She's 1987 vintage,equal to my oldest 110,Ol' Faithful.
Perfect centering,rock solid lock up with no play,and a very nice "click" when the lock activates.
Beautiful unmarked ebony and,what looks to me,to be factory edge.
Brass had a few nicks,scratches and fingerprints so I gave her a light polish.
Good to go!:thumbsup:

I've picked up a few Bucks since the last time I was on here.

2 426s, both from 1994 and in near mint condition. I remember these knives from when I was a kid. They were popular in the 80s, and some of the other kids in my scout troop had them. Nice to relive my childhood for a bit.

a NIB 722 Spitfire, which I really like. Those things had a reputation for blade play, but mine locks up very tightly with zero blade play. Sharp as can be as expected.

Another 345 Vantage. A very nicely made EDC knife. I got it used, and it was pretty dull. Still need to do some work on the edge.

I wish I knew how to post pics on here.
 
I know this is crazy talk . . . but the Buck 110s I got under the pretense of gifts (for other people) remain unmolested in their boxes. It's not easy resisting the urge to free them from their cardboard prisons and allow them to cut stuff as is their nature.
