Why is this called waswag?

I guess the rules apply to certain people? I think there is one about going off subject also?

I call it community building... we sneak in parts of our lives in the form of photos of pets and vacations, mention in passing things we are doing, sometimes with a Buck knife, sometimes not. I've been on this Forum 7 years and have never met a single person here yet feel I know many of them as I might a friend. This would be a very sterile and uninteresting place to hang out otherwise.

Take David Martins thread "Farm Life" approaching 500 posts. I know you've posted there. Great read with a lot of interesting things, not always strictly Buck related but David does the tiptoe and shows his use of buck knives here and there. "Farm Life" pre exists the sticky "Anvil Shed" and would have been a better fit there but it is still a great thread and helps form our Buck community. Yeah, I'm way off the original topic now, sorry Don. Back to your WASWAG, it is an interesting knife and thanks for starting this thread with your pictures of it.

To keep this legitimate, I want to mention that my EDC, a Buck Paradigm, is within easy reach of my right hand as I type this...... :)

Mr. DeSotoSky explanation was very informative. I would just like to add the term Kobe as in Kobe Wagyu is actually a region in Japan. Kobe is actually a licensed Japanese trademark showing the beef comes from the Hyōgo Prefecture (Hyogo is the name of the region Prefecture is the Japanese version of our states). There is a lot of confusion using the terms Kobe and Wagyu. Think of the Champagne. It also is a trademark from a region in France.
 
That is a very cool looking Buck 301; I have looked at the goobly-gook on Buck box labels and had no idea what it meant - learned something about Buck today. Gotta go pull out some boxes and see what I can find. I really like the look of that 301! OH
 
OH, just so you don't feel alone, I too did not know some of that Code Talking. 300

Thank You for your post. This thread was fast becoming about Kobe beef?
I don't mind that is was going in that direction as much as I did being publically chastised for asking a valid question about someone's post on ranching, which has been removed. In other words, I was in trouble for not mentioning a knife in my post by the same person who didn't mention a knife in his post either? Yes, I have posted in DM's post on farming, when the above happened he was the only other post I could use for an example of other people doing the same exact thing I did and they weren't publically chastised for it? No disrespect intended DM!!
I Thank everyone for their interest in my post regardless of the subject matter.:):):)

I am glad to learn something of the often head scratching Buck codes on the boxes. I always learn something new, here.

A quick lesson in Buck naming... yes, there is a method to how Buck names knives on the box label. It's really more of a code than a proper name.

Has anybody compiled a list of all these codes? Could it be done up as a sticky here?

I asked Joe about the codes. It took several emails for him understand what I wanted, my fault, but the end result is there are way too many codes for them to have any sort of legend or reference. Buck employees use the barcode's and people like Joe can read the box and know what's in there. I hadn't thought of it but his example was to look how many different variations there was just for the 110. That list would be massive. So the answer to your question's is "No".
