Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?

Hoyt Buck produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt and his son Al moved to San Diego and set up shop as H.H. Buck & Son in 1947. Al Buck revolutionized the knife industry in 1964 with the infamous Model 110 Folding Hunter. The company's innovative history and attention to quality have made for many great collectible knives.

Spent Wednesday fishing on the Oceanana Pier at Atlantic Beach. Steady catch of small and a few medium Croakers, Spot, and Perch; that was fun - used the lively one to liveline for Cobia on another rod/reel set up for them. No Cobia, but a fine day - new Buck 110LT was in it’s element. OH

Thanks John & Dogg! My original Buck Stockman (later known as the 301) came back from the Buck Spa this past week. The Buck folks did an outstanding job refurbishing the knife. OH

Thanks BK, I don’t think you will be disappointed (especially for a mere $7). OH

I actually have a few that could use a makeover, maybe I should send in my '67 with the '66, kind of a Schrade-made twofer for under $15. Hmm, I also wonder if they could fix a non-locking spike on a #315 Yachtsman?

Larry, I did take a “before” photo when I obtained the knife - it looked like an electric sharpener had been used to sharpen the blade. OH

I bought a Buck 055 when they first came out, about 10 ? years ago. Never used it and now cannot locate it, but it is here, somewhere.

Picked up my first red handled 300, a 1990 #303. Either it came smooth or it was heavily used, (the knife is in good condition so I suspect it came smooth). Why? Because it was red!! This one goes in for the spa treatment I think.

Thanks Bert, I suspected it came smooth. I don't know exactly why I popped for this one, not a significant year for me, (I like to commemorate family birth years with knives from that year), and I have several other varieties of the #303, guess I was just dazzled by the color. It breaks up the monotony of the 'ol Buck box if nothing else, (non SFO Buck box that is, they all live in a showcase). Now I have red #303, yellow #301 and a cool little #305 Clipper in blue.

Thanks Old Hunter, I'll add that to my "must have" list, it seems searching out all the colors and versions will be a life-long vocation.
