This little 525 Gent from 2010 came in the mail today. I paid too much for the condition it is in, but I always wanted an all stainless 525 and I haven't seen them offered very often. I'll take it to work and have a go with it on the buffing wheel to see if I can get some of the scratches out of it.

Because it's one of the best hunting knives and the tang is inverted

Nice pieces gents. Send your Gent to the Buck Spa, it'll come back looking new. You can make that old 118 razor sharp Dogg, love mine. OH

Yep Dogg, 440c. My two line (bought several years ago from Cal here at AAPK) keeps an incredible edge - clean/butcher two, even three deer, touch it up on ceramic sticks and the edge stays and stays. OH

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
I seem to keep tripping across Buck deals lately; probably portends an upcoming dry spell! Gunshop today, 2009 Buck 110 finger groove- a variation I’ve never owned. OH

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
I recently bought this 74-81 112 ranger in mint condition for $40 from a buddy of mine who found it at an estate sale. I was wondering what a retail price on this knife should be. Thank you in advance.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
7wounds, welcome to the AAPK and the Buck sub-forum. A two dot Buck 112, mint used condition with sheath but no box or papers, would range from a low of $40.00 (a great deal) to maybe $80.00 max. I wouldn't pay more than about $60.00 myself and only if I needed a variation it for my collection. You can find them in pawnshops for about $50+/- (negotiable) frequently enough to not pay more. Post a picture. OH

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Would you guys happen to know if it’s a defect that this 112 doesn’t have the thumb nail grinded on the blade? Thanks

7wounds, Wow, when you said MINT you meant MINT - that Buck 112 is perfect! Lack of a nail nick is no defect, it is how they were made in that era. Thanks Dogg, thinking I will take it with me to Texas next week - going hog hunting for a few days. OH

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Old Hunter, yeah I don’t even think it was ever used at all, when my buddy got it it was covered in green patina so he himself restored it polished it etc. he only paid $15 for it at the estate sale I couldn’t believe the deal he got, made a quick $20 from me for his time. Good buddy.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
You didn't get hurt a bit, you could easily get $60 for that knife but if I was you I keep that one and enjoy it - that's what Buck Knives are all about - really cool, well made users! A knife is a knife, but that one is also a status symbol. OH

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
OH, those finger grooves are nice. I only have one, a 1987 vintage. Don't carry it as much as I should. Where you headed in TX? Please, shoot some for me. I hate to be like that but those dang things are way to destructive. Pete

Pete, going to Independence Ranch in Waelder TX (fly into Austin and drive about an hour and fifteen minutes). I'm going as the guest of a buddy I served with in OIF in 2003 - he won the trip in a drawing! OH

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Had a nice trip, shot one, didn’t use the Buck knife for skinning as that’s included in the $50/per hog shot fee. I did use it as a pocketknife for all other typical uses. Took a picture of my 110FG in Texas. OH

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Ok so the same buddy who sold me that 2 dot 112 just came across this 2 dot 110 & trades an old craftsman vice I had, it has seen better days but I just sent it out yesterday to buck for the spa treatment, I will post after pics for you guys to see later. Anyone know what the value of this knife is? Thanks a bunch.
Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Ok so you guys might get mad at me but I just picked up this buck 532+ for only $20 on the letgo app. I’m assuming this is a good deal but please can someone tell me the value of this knife? I’ve seen different prices online just not sure what is true. It is in almost perfect call condition. Thank you ahead of time
