What's your newest Buck knife

Arrived today! The middle 501. The seller was unsure what the scales are. They look like bone to me. (They are translucent when I put a light to them.) The blade has a 1996 tang stamp. Any info on this knife will be appreciated.

(The top 501 is an SKBlades special circa 2019 and the bottom is a plain Jane.)

Just came in the mail today. The new Paklite 630 with the 420 steel.

Interesting that the 630 that was introduced in 2023, sold in 2023, and still isn't on the Buck web site has a 2022 blade stamp. I have been looking for a Paklite 140 for a few months now. I think I will get the 630 instead. It looks like a nice knife.

I agree, I had to look into it first because I wasn’t sure if it was legit or not. The only thing I could find was video from SHOT Show and an article on Buck’s blog page about them. Had I not come across them I would have most likely passed on it.
 
I picked up a few special 112's and this is a great one! Brown micarta brass frame with slight brushed looking bolsters it's not pad printed as a prototype but I think it IS a sample automatic that never made production. I'm not real familiar with 112 auto's but I have never seen one like this before. My main focus for years now has been odd ones and this one sure is lol!20230222_003349.jpg20230222_003409.jpg
 
I fell off the wagon today and ordered a 104 Compadre.. Mainly to see how it compares to the 632 Mesa and how I will like the 5160 versus the 420HC steel. The Mesa has been the "go to" for doing the deer and hog things. Just not sure about the drop point on the 104. But will see...
Now I gotta get to a Buck anon meeting... First new Buck in,,, well cant remember the last one,,,
 
The mail today really took me back in time.
I must have been 12 or 13 years old and I saved my lawn mowing money and bought a Buck Trapper pocket knife from Herman's World Of Sporting Goods in the Livingston Mall in Livingston, NJ.
How I agonized over that purchase, I was just a kid and didn't have a lot of money and which one to get? Hours of looking at advertisements and then looking at the display and oh boy...
We took a family trip up to the Martha's Vineyard area of Mass and we all rolled down a really steep sand dune for whatever reason.
I had the knife in my pocket and out it came, never to be seen again.
Dejected? Just a little. I lost my Buck knife...
A half a century later, here one is again!
The previous owner even had the Warranty Card and little blurb saying what a great purchase you made!
A little sharpening and some oil and it's good to go.
