Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Bought a Buck 524 Alumni to carry in my blue suit pocket pants a couple weeks ago, been carrying it since last Saturday - you'd never know its there. These three SFO of the new Buck 110 LT "Smoke Jumper" came in the mail yesterday from SK Blades; blade made of CPM-154 steel - going to try one soon. OH

That one looks to be in very good condition, good find, arguably the best Stockman patterned knife ever made.garddogg56 wrote:FINALLY I came across a 301 why cause I didn't have one

Congrats Dogg, the first Stockman I ever owned (1973) was a Buck 301 - I'm still a confirmed Buck man and still own that 301. OH

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

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
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?Old Hunter wrote:Thanks BK, I don’t think you will be disappointed (especially for a mere $7). OH

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
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

How much did the 055 on ebay sell for ?
How much do you want to spend for mint never used example ?
Did Buck D/C this pattern recently ?

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.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
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.
