Congratulations Bucksway, we knew you could do it (so easy even a geezer can do it!) OH
Ps Nice Buck Knife!

That's very nice! Another great "tool" that has its place in the woods. (I can see that it has been used. That gives the knife a "personality" all its own).Bucksway wrote:[image][/image]
I'm impressed.

I'll have my "factory fresh" Buck 110 Auto by Friday at 10:00 a.m. There's something to be said for their "Forever Warranty" and a torque-drive that snaps open the blade with a "thwack". (So says the Buck representative at the SHOT show). These are so impressive. Born and bred in the USA! (It doesn't get any better than this)!
It is too bad that I can't post a picture of my new knife as I haven't that capability. Perhaps the Old Hunter could import a photograph from Blade Play or Blade HQ.

Kossetx: Do you like it? Is it firing properly? I'm asking because mine is due to be in my hot little hands by 10:30 tomorrow morning.

Came across one of the recently discontinued Buck 302 Solitaire pocketknives at a gunshop earlier today. Decided I may as well own it. OH

The Buck 110 Auto arrived today. This knife is "tight as a tick"! It was manufactured on 2/5/18. (Talk about "factory fresh", a knife doesn't get much newer than this).
The knife is so tight that it is slower to open than my "round button" leaf-spring conversion (These are the best of the aftermarket conversions on the market today. I'd be willing to bet that this will loosen up over time. The Buck quality abounds in this 110 Auto. I couldn't be much happier.
This is Buck craftsmanship at it's finest.

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.

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

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
