are there any BUCK knives collectors on here?

 

not a collector of buck knives, but i have been carrying a buck 501 for about 25 years now. they are good all around knives.........bob

 

I have a 110 Hunter. Great knife.

 

I got one as a gift from a buddy whom I stood up for at his wedding.

 

I hope he doesn't want to stick you with now.....

121 for hunting
119 for hunting
105 for hunting
119 100 year edition
105 for wife
119 son

 

Yeah, his marriage lasted maybe 8 months tops. Still got the knife though.

 

Now that it is a story I'd like to hear, although it probably isn't any of my business.

 

I have a little 3-blade Buck in my pocket ..... that's my entire collection.

 

Well, as the tradition goes, a groom is to give his groomsmen a gift. The other groomsman got a folding Buck knife, and I got a 119T. Both were engraved with our names. So we're at the rehearsal dinner when Chris pulls these knives on us. We're showing off to Chris' family, and the other groomsman (can't remember his name) is mighty proud of his knife. I (in my best Paul Hogan impression) say "That's not a knoife, this is a knoife!" Had to be real careful with it though, as beer and spirits were flowing freely. Gave it to my wife (then fiancee) for safe keeping in the car.

Chris, and my other groomsmen for me, got a booze flask and a West Coast Choppers beanie for my wedding.

 

Not a collector but I have had my 703V in my pocket for 20 years. I have cleaned a few deer with that tiny knife.

About 10 years back, I was hunting birds all day. Did a ton of walking with the dog. Must have been 5-7 miles of grassfield, cornfields, and woodland. When I got home I realized my knife was not in my pocket. The next day I re-traced all of my 5-7 mile hike and I finally found it.

The way I figured it was the knife never let me down why should I let it down.

The guys on my crew where I work know that the knife is mine. If I become careless and leave it somewhere the guys know to bring it to me or there will be heck to pay if I find it in someone elses pocket.
