What's your newest Buck knife

So far the 2 112's I ordered in 2008 are the only 112's with serrations I have seen. I don't really care about having serrations on a user but as a display/ Custom sure. Especially back then there was few variations and all the really cool ones (super steel, drop point, nickel silver frame) were hard to find and expensive when you did..
 
A plain Jane 118; arrived yesterday! I didn't really capture the "redness" of the spacers very well. (I have another 118 due Monday.)

Well it's been awhile since I added a 'new' 112 to the collection! David came up from South Florida to bring me my long lost Custom shop 112 from 2009 along with a Swann's 112 from 2003..But also another 112 he 'ordered' for me . The Koa BOTM with the S45VN blade. My son Richard bought one and didn't like it and I thought he would give it to me (but didn't) and I just wasn't worried about adding it. Cost on Ebay is running less than MSRP from Buck so I figured why not just wait? I'll post a picture this week but its its one of the plainer ones with not a lot of character. I'll experiment with some kind of oil or wood treatment that might make it pop a little better..
 
Stopped by Buck in Post Falls last week while out on vacation at Silverwood. Picked up my first Buck, a build out 119 in walnut and a bronze cerakote blade. And just ordered my second Buck, the web exclusive 110 drop point up right now. I’ll get a family picture when I can. Kind of funny it took me this long to pick up some Bucks.

Would like to see the linear cut, similar to what is shown on the spine, on any of the 100 series fixed blades.

I am more accustomed to seeing the linear cut, and it's what I was hoping for when I first saw black palm listed as an option.
(I know - I just quoted a year old post)
 
I went on a buying spree this last week! My second recent 118 arrived this Monday. (I posted the other one above.) I have to say that I am disappointed with the condition of the edge on this one - the pictures don't show the defects very well. I will have to send it to Buck for a spa treatment.

I've been fighting the urge to buy/try these for about 5 years. I definitely appreciate the weight savings compared to the standard 112, and they're quite comfortable in hand... I'm just not sure I can, in good conscience, displace my beloved 501s with a knife of this size. Maybe if I can find a decent open sheath that fits snugly (unsure at this time whether horizontal belt carry would work - thinking maybe a clipped sheath...)
