Buck Fever

[Richard Simmons]

Well maybe not a fever but I for sure am addicted. I'm a life member of the Buck Collectors Club Inc. and can't seem to get enough when it comes to Buck knives old and new. Thought I'd share a small part of my addiction. Enjoy!

Buck Empress Trio cutlery set.

Buck Strider 880 spear point.

Buck Custom Shoppe 110 with water buffalo and black oxide blade.

Buck Custom Shoppe 110 with blue indigo and S30v, partially serrated blade.

A few 110 Hunters.

This one is a club special that won't be out until the end of the year, for BCCI members only. Buck 110 with lighting strike carbon fiber scales on a copper frame and full flat grind S35vn blade.

Another club special 301 with BG-42 steel and ivory micarta. Sorry for the crappy photo.

I'll post more later so for now let's see what kind of Bucks you all have.

Very nice Master Chief. Was lucky enough to get Chuck to sign this Buck Paradigm at a show a couple of years ago. I found him to be very gracious and personable.

A 110 that was my daily companion through much of the 1980's and a 501 that is more handy. Joe

I have several Bucks but surely not nearly as many as you do. They
are hard to beat for the money. Three of my fixed blades. A 119, 105
and 103.

Very nice. I don't believe I've ever seen a brown, full flap sheath before. They have always been black. Is it marked with the model number on the back? Also what is the date code on the knife that goes with it? I may try and locate one for my collection.

Many years ago I gave my brother a Buck fixed-blade--don't recall the model number--with a cocobolo handle. It had the cordovan full-flap sheath, which I seem to recall was only available with the cocobolo series.

I'm not sure when Buck did away with the flap-over sheaths. My last 118 Personal had one, but the late-production models I looked at later just had the snap keeper.

I'm still frustrated that they discontinued the fine 118, the original design that old Mr. Buck carried and used all over the world.

Buck still has the 118 in their lineup in the cocobolo pattern

Did/does Buck make any auto knives or are they all conversions? I have a 110 auto and it's impressive when a 3.5" blade comes out that fast.

All are after market conversions. Buck has never produced an auto, at least not for general consumption, so to speak. If they made some for a government agency or just to test in house I've never seen or heard about any.

Now that you mention it, I think somebody here (maybe you) told me that a while back.

Getting old is such fun...

I bought the 103 several years ago at an estate auction, it
was and is unused in the original box. I love the knife and
can't bring myself to take it hunting. The box has a sticker
on each end that says Model 103BR Cat# 1689. The sheath
is marked 103 on the back. The blade has 103V marking.

Thank you. The V is the date code for 1989 you've got a 25 year old Buck in beautiful condition.
