What's your newest Buck knife

I bought this two liner off BF's Knife Exchange last week, it arrived today. Didn't need it, have several others, but I have a soft spot for the older 100 series and will try to use it when a bird and trout knife is called for. May send it to Leroy for a custom handle.

My latest new Buck.. Has a large flathead screwdriver, a small screwdriver, and a sorta sharp edge for cutting.

At least new to me as it showed up in a box of junque and didnt know I had.
No, I would be embarrassed to send it to Buck... But maybe include it with the next SPA treatment box and let the Buck guys have a laugh,...
 
Got this one in a trade on the weekend.
Traded my recently acquired Ontario 499 JPK(5-94) for this mint in box Plain Jane 110 from 2021!
Action was a little gritty, bit of soap and warm water cleaned it out.
A few drops of light oil (Victorinox multitool oil) and she's good to go.
Cut my thumb on the sharp clip though, may have to dull it a bit.

Can any one tell me about the orange sticker with "61" on the box please?
There is the same sticker on the other end flap as well.
I've never seen this before.

Nice! Is yours "wicked shahp?" I bought several 110s made in 2021 for personal use and gifts and all of them had amazing factory sharpening jobs. And quite pointy!

Yes, very sharp, even the clip is sharp enough to cut my thumb!🩹
Over the years I've had many knives, some I would consider high end (for me anyway).
Out of the box sharpness on these was poor to non existent, at best, the Buck's, not so!
Which is one reason, among others, I still have my Buck's, and all the others are gone.
Yes, very pointy! I did notice the blade shape is not as upswept as my "Ol' Faithful" from 1987.

I posted some messages last year when I first started using the current Buck 110 from 2021 about how pointy it was. It was like a needle. I punctured myself accidentally (negligently?) multiple times until I mentally adjusted to it. Over the last few months, use and sharpening have eliminated the super pointiness.

I just pulled this out of the mailbox, and am really looking forward to using it. I love the covers! Hickory n steel Hickory n steel and Vaporstang Vaporstang have some gorgeous photos of bone covered 305's and I wanted to see one in person. I'm not much of a photographer, but the scales have a delightful variations of color.

A very nice example you got there with some beautiful Buckbone.
