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.

One of the nicest 119's I've seen! Bucks phonelic handles are probably indestructible, but in the looks department that stag tops them!

Just received this new Buck 301. Sent 3 knives back for repair. Buck repaired the 500,503 and gave me a new 301 because due to age they could not replace the blade on the old 301.

Buck gets an A+ in customer service. I've used them a few times and am always amazed at their work. The spa knives look new and a new 301 is icing on the cake!

Thanks' John
I have always liked Buck. I was looking through my accumulation of knives and I have thirty Buck's. :shock: So over the years I must have really liked them! ::woot:: Funny thing is I never paid attention to the warranty until I joined this web site. Boy am I glad I did.

I am assuming you have a modern 301 (420HC blade steel). Several good methods are ceramic sticks, diamond sticks, or a Lansky using the medium stone. I set all of the above at 25 degrees and mine stay plenty sharp. OH

A strop makes a bigger difference than you might think. I recently got a strop paddle and it's that thing I've been missing to get it right. I had no idea it made this much of a difference.

That's a sweet looking 110, Tim. Looks to be in pretty good shape with lots of life left in it for a 76. Nice pick up. ::tu::

Got this Buck 110 in the mail today from SMKW. ::ds:: They had $30.00 off on these and couldn't pass it up. First Production Run for 2019...1 of 500. NO individual Set. #'s. Black Micarta scales, Nickel Silver bolsters, liner & pins. 420HC / 58-59 HRC. Nylon Sheath. (will probably switch this out for a brown leather one)

LJ, I really like that Buck - took the best of the EcoLite style handles and upped their game - very nice!
David, as a fisherman I think that is a very cool knife. OH

Thanks, Breeze and OH.

David, I've never seen a Buck knife with that design. VERY nice. That's something I would have picked up too, just because it's an 'eye catcher'. ::tu::

Was able to get a 307 and a 301 new in the box. I've wanted a 307 for a while now. Now to find a 317.

Thanks. The 307 is my favorite. The 301 is a little lighter in the walk and talk than I'm used to. But not terrible.
