Yes, I like those also. Many folks wanting to keep the knife used that scroll in the center for engraving their initials or an event and so on. I think there were at least 3 in that series.Yes there is, that series was slick! I've got the larger 110 version, the 111 and I wish Buck wold revive this lightweight series!
Be a great place for a guy to put his wedding date. My wife's birthday is the 24th of Sept. and married on the 23rd of March - uhh or was that 23 and 24 the other way around?
Well, it's in the computer with a 2 week reminder. I need to EDC something like that.
I also would like to see those come back. Nice knives!

Re: hey buddie, can you spare a buck?
Hey Chris, I'm with you - bring back that jigged redbone
Here's one a little bit different. Got this as a gift a few years back - hangs out in the tacklebox. Not a bad knife from a utility standpoint.

Re: hey buddie, can you spare a buck?
Great looking Bucks!
My first Buck was from the 300-series with black composition handles. Maybe not the prettiest of pocket knives, but I remember that it impressed me a lot as a reliable user!
My last Buck was manufactured in China… It looked OK. I'm curious about it and plan to test it as a user soon. What's going on? Will more and more models be imported in the future..?

Re: hey buddie, can you spare a buck?
Many Buck knives are made in China, the 110 is still in the US and those of the custom shop. However I've stopped buying any 420 HC SS and Buck uses this a lot. They have a heat treat guy that does wonders with it (Boss or something like that). I have a few with that steel that i will customize and sell. I like the CPM S30V, but they charge far to much for it. The metal is difficult to get a good mirror finish so they just use a black coating - likely cheaper than finishing.
So far I have not bought any Chinese Bucks - I just walk away.
I have a couple Buck black composite knives from the 80's, the latest is a Buck 313, a Muskrat. I heard some of those were contracted out to Camilus during this time. I guess China replaced them - I ain't buying a Chinese Buck.

No Mitch......... it would be an UpChuck..... Smoke
Re: hey buddie, can you spare a buck?
Thanks for the info, I believe I'll keep a copy for my reference. I've seen a lot of Buck slip joints I know are Chinese on eBay - but many sellers make no mention of that. I believe one was a Duece.Bear Claw Chris Lappe wrote:

Re: hey buddie, can you spare a buck?
One quick way to know is the model number if they give it, add 7 to the middle number and it's an import.Hukk wrote:Thanks for the info, I believe I'll keep a copy for my reference.

BCCL/Hukk,
Thanks for the info!
I think my first Buck may have been made by Camillus.

Re: hey buddie, can you spare a buck?
i remember seeing a buck knife quotation on the web : do you have this link ? (unfortunalty lost when changing the laptop)
Re: hey buddie, can you spare a buck?
How about my edc Buck Quest. Not pretty but used a lot and useful. Nice and lightweight. I don't even know it's in my pocket until I need it, which is sometimes very often. Razor sharp and one hand opener with a lockback too. I like it a lot.
