All About Pocket Knives

That is interesting Jerry, I had no idea how G-10 was made - that which is on Case knives (the only I've seen/handled) is quite slick, not at all like the rougher Micarta on the Buck. In reading the link you provided I see our old friend Phenolic is related as well. OH

Buck 301, first version as built by Camillus - came this past Friday, but I couldn't open it until late this afternoon. NOS condition - I'm pretty pleased with this addition. OH

Man OH I'd be pleased also nice find.

During our little excursion, over the past few days, we stopped for a short visit with my cousin in Decatur and he gave this Buck-Lite 442 to me. Easiest opening thumb stud I've ever used.

Nice gift Jerry - you are building quite a collection of Buck's - cool! OH

Colonel -- Don't be thinking I'm going over to the dark side.

Received a buck 110 50th Anniversary knife in the mail.It's my one and only Buck 110.

Grant

Very nice Grant - I love the heft of the Buck 110. Most of the 50th Anniversary 110's I've seen come in blister packs - don't see too many around here in the boxes. OH

very nice Shearer you'll enjoy that beauty

Stopped by the brand new Field and Stream hunting and fishing store in the Raleigh-Durham Airport area yesterday to look around; they have a nice cutlery department with plenty of Buck Knives (Buck on the first gondola). They also have Case, but lesser amounts, and many other popular brands (Kershaw, Cold Steel, and others) and foreign oriental stuff too. I was pleased to see a nice selection of Buck's and with Buck having the primo spot in the section. OH

Ps now the Raleigh area has several Dick's, a Bass Pro Shop, a Gander Mountain, the new Field and Stream outdoor stores all open and a Cabelas under construction - wonder if all four will survive!

Nice Bucks everyone!
I just got this 303 Cadet. I love my 301 and this just made a lot of sense.
Poor lighting so just this pic. I'll post back later with some more pics and maybe another Buck'

Producer, you are going to love that Buck 303 - just about the perfect size EDC (IMO). OH

Pro;other than the lockbacks the 303 is my favorite Buck BUT my new 55 is getting more and more pocket time

Thanks garddogg, I'm loving the Bucks. Just so solid.
I value the 3 spring construction in the 300's.

Selling knives at an airport? Could it be the ones that were confiscated and then to sell them to pay trhe salaries of airport security! ftd

Pawnshop find last night, two-dot Buck 110. OH

Two dot,my favorite and most used 110+112

Getting away from the 110s for a minute, Walmart was on my list of stops yesterday. I happened to wander over to Sporting Goods and discovered this Buck 285 Bantam®. It insisted on coming home with me and since it's so patriotic, I broke down and said yes. It's Made in USA and 4-3/8" closed.

That's a great finish job Jerry, great 4th of July knife too! OH

It's a very nice knife, Colonel. The way it's made, it snaps open and closed as loudly as a traditional knife. On the other hand that also makes it difficult to open with the thumbstud or is that my arthritis. Lock bar is easy to depress so that's a plus. I like it.

FINALLY gut me a 703.???now what year is she without a year symbol??anybody know???
