Thanks for the list Bert. I started out just looking for a Clipper just as an example of a model I didn't have, wasn't aware of all the colors out there. Yup, got my work cut out for me.bertl wrote:Baykeeper,
You still have a few to go. The 305 Clipper came in six varieties: brown bone, lavender, blue, black, pink and red.

Picked up this 1990 Buck 500 along with a tag along Browning today at a gun/knife show. I posted it in Knife Finds of the Day too but shot another picture after hitting the brass with some metal cleaner. ___Dave
Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Anybody know a good knifeaholics recovery group, (would that be KA or KAA?)? I think I need one.
Just in: Buck #332 Barlow, Black Sawcut Delrin, 1995 SFO. Why? Because I am trying to collect one of each model of the 300 Series SFO's, and after this I have only two models to go.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
All the knife groups I've checked on so far have been no help at all. They just make things worse and even can get you involved with more serious stuff like Bowie knives, custom knives and guns. There's no hope at this point. ___DaveBaykeeper wrote:Anybody know a good knifeaholics recovery group, (would that be KA or KAA?)? I think I need one.

Syd, at least you have some focus for this madness. My purchases are just skitter scatter all over the place.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
I think I was skittering before the quest for SFO's, and the #305 Clipper I just got proves that it's still part of my method; if it's Buck and I like it I can't seem to resist it.jerryd6818 wrote:Like a fly on a window.Baykeeper wrote:Well, once I get all the SFO models together I think I'll be skittering and scattering right along with you.jerryd6818 wrote:Syd, at least you have some focus for this madness.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Bought this 2-Dot Buck 110 at a collectibles mall (junk store) in December; knife was in very good shape, however a previous owner had really dulled (flattened the edge) of the first 1/3 of the blade. Instead of taking the Lansky to it I decided it would be a good opportunity for me to try out the Buck Spa ($6.95), something I've read about but never used. I mailed the knife from a small town PO on the eastern shore of Maryland the Monday before Christmas and received it back here in eastern NC yesterday. The Buck cutlers have reprofiled the edge - it had the original 440C type of edge, now it has the 425M style edge and it is as sharp as you can get a hunting knife. They have also cleaned and polished the brass, cleaned out the blade well and lubed the joint. Finally they cleaned up most of the blade scratches, some were pretty deep and there is a trace of them still there, but much better. I think you really get your money's worth with the Buck Spa treatment. OH

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Great find, and I agree about the "spa treatment" that Buck gives a knife for a mere pittance and postage. I sent one of my 110's in and it came back better than new in my opinion.Old Hunter wrote:Bought this 2-Dot Buck 110 at a collectibles mall (junk store) in December; knife was in very good shape, however a previous owner had really dulled (flattened the edge) of the first 1/3 of the blade.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
I'll sure use their spa treatment again when I need it. Today's mail brought my first four-spacer Buck 119; this one also has the inverted three line tang stamp, putting it at 1972. OH

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
OH, I've used the Buck spa service before as well and it's first rate all the way. No one takes care of customers like Buck imo.
That 119 is a dandy. I got one as a kid and packed it a lot. I foolishly sold it not long after getting it by the pocket knife bug in order to fund some knife I don't even remember now. Lol. I'm going to pick another one up myself I think.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Here is the newest addition to my Buck family. Why? Because I'm an addict and need an intervention. That being said this is a 1999 Buck #331 Granddaddy Barlow in Jigged Bone, NIB, an SFO made by Camillus for SMKW. This is just the first to arrive, other Buck "rarities" are coming soon; stay tuned.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Here are a couple more. Buck #334 Millennium Trapper in Jigged Bone, a Limited Edition with serial number 0082, and a #333 California Toothpick in Stagalon. Both of these are SFO's, special factory orders. I think this photo of the toothpick is one of the first, if not THE first photo of a #333 on this forum, (at least I can't find another anywhere). The arrival of these two knives completes a quest to obtain one of each of the 300 Series special order knives, needless to say I am very very pleased!!

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Thank you. I went momentarily off course at Christmas and gifted myself with a nice Case Seahorse, but other than that I have focused on the Buck 300's. I now have all the model numbers, at least all of the US-made models. I guess now I can get a start finding some of the varied "exotic" handle colors & materials. I also need to come up with a cool display case.montemojo wrote:Congrats Baykeeper, your ability to stay focused is commendable great job.

Re: Whats your newest addition to your Buck family and why?
Yes a display would be great. I have 2 , one schrade and one Boker. I haven't filled the Boker. Both derail me from my goals. They are alot of fun filling them. I also have my eye on another schrade floor model. If you wait long enough I am sure one will find you
