Your Dream Buck?

[bucksway]

I was just looking at the thread for finger grooved 112 auto's and got my brain side tracked making a odd 112 automatic..That was a mirror polished drop point super steel blade with serrations bareheaded in MOP with a Black Buffalo horn button on a Nickel silver finger grooved frame..
It then occurred to me I was probably not alone in dreaming about the about the ultimate knife I wish Buck made or I would commission. So what is YOUR dream Buck? Cost is NOT a factor..

I like threads like this...
Okay, my dream Buck would be to have David Yellowhorse build a 124 with a partial chipped blade. Brass guard and pommel. I would leave materials and design in the handle up to him. I would want a portrait, similar to my avatar of Dutch on both sides of the handle.

Some of the old Custom Shop offerings immediately come to mind.
A D-guard bowie maybe.

A custom auto would get my attention.
Tho Buck wouldn't ship it to me.

If cost is no object, I'm headed to the classic car auctions.

A 640 in 5160
And a 501 clip point to go with it



ETA: more 117’s, short 192’s, and long 192’s !!!

A folder with the handle shape of the 112 and the blade shape of the 110, scaled up so that the blade length is 4.5 or even 5 inches, but with the same 0.120 in. blade stock.

Maybe call it the Buck 112.5.

Kalinga.! Love that curved blade and handle. Looks very elegant

916 with an adult sized handle.

Mine is in the works of becoming a reality.
A 110 with nickle/silver bolsters, elk slabs and a 5160 drop point. Stuff it in a distressed black leather sheath. (of which I have)
No pics at this time.

I was just wishing for a 112 auto with a drop point blade. Maybe some pretty burl scales too.

901 D-guard Bowie and a prefactory hatchet or twinset.
.....they come up rarely and not at a price affordable on a retiree's budget.

s45vn 124. Have been waiting for this for quite a few years.

I'd LOVE a large, full tang, hard-use "wilderness" knife with a tall blade...something along the lines of a Busse Hell Razor 2/Barky Crusader/Becker BK-9.

....25" (*or better) thick, in 5160.


In my humble opinion, Buck has made HUGE strides in the last 5 or so years, with many of their modern offerings. There is no reason why they couldn't EASILY build the above knife. (*"I'll take four, thank you)

I am not sure... I think I have a few ideas of dream Buck's.

I'd love a damascus bladed NS framed 112 with bareheaded mastodon ivory (bark) scales and a simple classic scroll engraving on front bolster.

I am not sure of others, but that is a good one for me to start with.

 

[eveled]

A 124 with a longer blade. At least 12” blade. Either newly made or one from the old custom shop.

This, but I’m not sure what the heck I would do with a knife that large.

 

[Uncle Timbo]

Have any of you checked with Leroy Remer? He's with Triple R Knives. Leroy worked for Buck for decades. He can build custom Buck knives. That's where mine sbove is coming from. He built one for me a few years back and like a dummy I eventually sold it. Nickle silver, black paper micarta with a slight palm swell. Oh and a BG 42 blade.
I'm still kicking myself for selling that one.

 

[Zulus]

I think it's old phenolic 119
But that dream was fulfilled some 30 years ago ...

 

[wackafew]

I woulld like to see Buck take their 113 and make it into a folder. Maybe stretch the blade to 3.5 inches.

Re-pop of the Buck 184 in 3V.

Whoa! If Busse can reintroduce their iconic Ratweiler in INFI, I'd think Buck should be able to do the same with their iconic 184.
