All About Pocket Knives

I mentioned above that they were a bit pricey, I got the one I just got for much less in an auction. It's funny though, these are either nowhere to be found, or all over the place like now, but it proves they are out there to be found. I don't know why they are so expensive now, last year they were half as much.

How about a 112 Slim in Olive Green Micarta with a S30V blade? Very lightweight. The Micarta scales really trip my trigger, I like the Anvil clip too.

Nice! I looked at one of those and was very impressed...you are an enabler!

Nice, I have it's twin brother in my EDC basket, I carry mine in a back pocket 2-4 times a week. You will love it I'm sure, the handles have a nice feel to them don't they?

I do like the feel, sweet American made knife.

Sorry, Byrd, I calls 'em as I sees 'em.

Now that’s nice! I’ve been looking at those myself. Now you’ve done flung a cravin’ on me.

Me too

They're really sweet, lightweight, locks up tight and excellent fit and finish. Plus that Micarta is gorgeous. I can imagine it wears nice.

The handles do get smoother with use, especially if clipped inside the back pocket like I do, it gets a bit lighter in color too as the handles smooth out. So, it does develop pocket wear if you use it a lot, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, I kind of like the way it ages, shows it was loved and appreciated.

My Dad continues to give his things away, he gave me this little Buck Tool along with a Case Mini-Copperlock last weekend. I’ve carried the Buck in my watch pocket last few days, but haven’t had any need for it as yet. OH

That's a very clean looking Bucktool, Bruce. Your Dad took very good care of it.

In case you're not aware: Buck came out with these in 1997. There were three versions. The 'original' Bucktool 360 w/sheath, The Bucktool 360CL (has a belt clip, no sheath), and the Bucktool 360FL w/sheath (a file replaced the sheepsfoot serrated blade). In 1998, Buck came out with the Bucktool 'Classic' w/black oxide coating, and the Bucktool 'Workman'. Original prices on these were $82.00 & $86.00. In 1999, they came out with the BuckLite Tool 355. In 2000, they came out with a Bucktool 360 in Camo. Buck only made the Bucktool for 4 years and discontinued them after 2001.

I picked one of these up off the bay in May 2019 for a decent price, in mint condition. They're selling a bit higher for that now. They're not hard to find and they're worth the price is one has a need to carry a multi-tool.

Just a bit of history on this Bucktool.

OH they feel weird compared to Leatherman.that a good looking Tool

LJ, thanks for the history of the Buck Tools. I recall seeing them but (even as a Buck Knife fan) ignored them - always had and used the Leatherman tools which predated the Buck Tools. This one (Model 350) is tiny. To Doggs observation, it folds open unlike the Leatherman which opens like a plier. This one should be handy as a fishing tool. OH
Ps. It has a green synthetic slip case but is so tight it is hard to pull out, I’ve carried it without the slip case.

After wanting one since they first came out, I've got a 110LT Slim Select in blue on the way from Buck direct. On sale for $20, with shipping $28.50. Blue and lime are marked down this low--I picked blue so it would match the 110LT Shield from SK Blades. The ergonomics of the LT Bucks are pretty weird, especially in that I am used to the brass. Plus, not one-hand opening and no clip--meaning I have to sheath up.

This will be a work knife, since at over a 3.5" blade, the 110LT outside of where I live in VA, is too big for EDC (WV won't allow anything over 3.5"; but I'm sure "farm work" is a valid excuse).

Mine is not an addition but a subtraction. I sent this Buck 722 to my Grandson who is with the Army in Korea.
This is what he's currently carrying and in my opinion it's impractical and more for show than it is for go.
(yeah, the tattoo is why the Marine Corps wouldn't take him. It's out of USMC regs as far as placement. They're really strict Re: tattoo's these days.)

Cool deal, Jerry.

Who knew Marines couldn't have arm tatts?

They can but are regulated as to size and location.

Help!!

Somebody talk me down off the ledge. I have enough Buck 722's and I seriously mean enough. But this is such a steal and deal. I am tempted to buy all three of them. (There were 4 this morning)

And now two. At $22 with tax, I couldn't help it either! It's about $15 cheaper than what my Tractor Supply wants for a 722.

And they're a dadgummed fine knife, Cody. The temptation continues to rage within me.

Oh, the heck with it. I bought the last two. I'm so weak.

It’s a good thing I’m just now seeing this or I’d have bought them. I’ve been packing my birthday 722 for a few days and good gracious I’m impressed.

Thanks Syd.


Cuz, counting the two I just bought, I have 8 of them (mostly just different colors). I have twice as many Camillus 14's. That's just ridicules but then I'm an idiot.
