Buried in the article is this gem; "He looks like a hardened outdoorsman but his flannel feels soft to the touch. He will open your beer with an omni-present Buck knife."

Do you know what this means? It means the world has finally caught up with us Buck Knife men!! OH

Oregon, great idea - we should post photo's of Buck Forum members (wearing actual pre-"lumbersexual" era rustic clothing) and actually using Buck Knives to skin and prep real game animals in the non-virtual world. That first one of David Martin is perfect (we should send it to the magazine!) OH

I read the same article yesterday at the doctor's office and realized my wardrobe was now "hip". I don't feel more "hip".

I agree. Send them some of your photos OH and some of David Martins.

I doubt the young people sporting their buck knives are using them for anything other than bottle openers like the article mentions.
 
I want to know which buck knife they have with a bottle opener?? Metro? Swiss Buck?.... None of mine do, except the 815 shears, and those stay in the kitchen.
If they are carrying the metro, wouldn't they be metrosexuals.....hahahhaha

But i am wearing boots, jeans and a flannel shirt today, with a buck knife in my pocket.
In addition, I haven't shaved in a week, so I have a scruffy beard....hahaha
In my defense, I am doing chores in the yard, and we do not live in the city :D
Also, in my defense, those clothing items have been preferred attire for over 30 years. But then again, I also like shorts, flip flops, and short sleeve shirts, with a buck knife in the pocket...... depending on the activity......... :)
 
As someone who actually logged for a long period of time.

I find the term Lumber-Sexual somewhat unsettling.

Seriously,

I'm sure we are not that far from surgically implanted callouses,
for that extra tough look at parties.
 
When I lived in Northern California, I had a bunch of friends and neighbors who worked in the logging industry.
None had a full beard, most had a goatee or were clean shaven.
None drank bottled beer. Cans were the way to go, and the empty cans were frequently used for target practice :)
None opened their cans of beer with a buck knife ;)
All had boots, most had flannel shirts, most had pocket knives.
None carried around an axe.
However, most did carry around a chainsaw....lol
 
I am trying "not to" picture a Paris fashion show, with those runway models looking "rough" as they walk down a runway wearing starched flannel and displaying implanted callouses....

I've run into a couple women in northern Michigan that fit the whole "lumbersexual" thing.

The folks in the UP can put together a great knife and many of them have put a Buck to work but they are strange group. :p

You and me both! I prefer Redneck, country boy or even hick. I are one.

I'm with Fritz on this one. The first time I was called a Redneck was in a work meeting when I was in my 30's that term was unsettling to me at the time (boy, that was a long time ago). As I got older, I realized that it was a term of endearment and not meant as an insult.


jb4570 just a good old boy!!!!
 
Blue jeans, usually a t-shirt and if it's cold, I throw over a flannel shirt and I probably haven't been without a pair of redwing boots since the 80's.
But I do live in a town of less than 200 in the Ozark Mountains, deer hunt 5 months out of the year and like to tinker with antique tractors and always have a Buck knife in my pocket and have a couple of squirrel dogs. I thought I was hillbilly? I promise I am not a hipster!
