My sister and brother in law will be moving in a few weeks . She is packing and cleaning out . BIL has Dementia and can no longer do anything with his tools . She gave me a couple of tool boxes full of random hand tools . I sorted through it . Most of it I already had so I donated a lot of it to a local organization that can use them HOWEVER , in the bottom of one of the boxes was an old Buck Folding Hunter . As you can imagine the brass parts were pretty green but it cleaned up rather nicely . The blade is tight and has no nicks . I really don't need a folding knife that big but it's so darned cool !
Score !

Those are items that you’ll treasure.
The wife and I were camp hosting in Durango, CO. Fishing in a deep hole I snagged something heavy. Turned out to be a tackle box with a 250T Schrade Walden 4+" blade folder inside, talk about green and brown! A few days later a friend who makes knives came to visit, I gave it to him. The next time I saw him he gave it back, like new!!! It is now one of my prized knifes.

Buck folders are one of my favorites. Also Schrades. Good long lasting knives.
Was just at a relative's and found an old Buck 112 in the typical black sheath. It had so much verdigris on the brass parts and so much old oil in the joints that the blade would not even lock. Try as I may I could not get the verdigris off without the buffing wheel on the grinder. The old oil and dirt could be squirted off with carb cleaner. Got it back into service, sharpened, joints cleaned and oiled, and brass verdigris free. Never cared for the Buck 110 series knives. Too heavy and poor blade design for general use. They are stout as they come. Had a Buck 110 driven all the way to the hilt into my left thigh. Maybe that is why my dislike.
