Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Buck Knives.

Read they have put an end to that or are in the near future.
I always thought they should have used a different name like Leupold did with Redfield for foreign made products

Buck has no knives manufactured in China at this time.


Here is a new model a #212 that Buck manufactured for one of their dealers.

Saw a 121 Fisherman for sale somewhere today....

Got home to find some new Bucks (and a Cold Steel bargain}..

The 105 Pathfinder red micarta and 402 walnut Akonua are S30V, 119 is 420HC. The Cold Steel Outdoorsman Lite has German Krupp 4116. If everything works out that Akonua is going to be elk'd up this fall.

Sporting Specialist: I really like that Buck 212! I don't believe I have ever seen one in person. I am going to check "flea-bay" and see if any are for sale there.
I am glad someone revived this thread - I absolutely LOVE Buck knives in fact bought another one this past weekend at the Hamilton, Montana Gunshow.
It is another Model 317 (the black handled double bladed large folding knife).
I already have two of these Model 317's but the price was so GOOD on this one I bought it anyway.

My wife just adopted the super nice dark grey (charcoal) handled 110 I got from the Federal Premium rebate! Figuring this means I can shop some more! Buck it!

The 402 pictured above sure feels substantial in hand. I like the slab sides. It's a DLT Trading exclusive I think.

I have a .110. a friend won in a Scottsdale AZ gun shop raffle and gave to me. I have been using it for hunting but now not sure I should. It has Ivory handles that have been scrimshawed with bird hunting scenes. Anyone have an idea of the origin of this or similar knives? The date on the raffle receipt is May of 1982. Any significant value to this knife?

Still proudly using the 110 my parents gave me 50 years ago. Best knife ever IMHO.

Early 70's when you saw a lot of Buck 110s on belts in public I got a Gerber folding hunter because they were narrower lighter easier to carry in a pocket.
Some guys I knew took some 110's and some other carried knives laid them in the sand, stood over and shot the blade with a 38 Special.
The 110's cut the lead bullets into and the Gerber's ( not mine) blade broke in half.
Not long after I got a 110 that I still have. It has been used a lot and has been an excellent knife.
The Gerber doesn't hold an edge near as well as the Buck either.

Fixed 112 Lucite, 420HC $130 at Copper and Clad

Wish they'd come out with a 103 in s30v. Brass and cherrywood would be sweet. IMHO.

I have had a few liked the woodsman the best. Don't have one now but have a personal, a pathfinder. And a frontiersman. Gave my 110 to my son one year for Christmas when money was tight. I have a case finn that is similar pattern to a woodsman or I would buy one. I like the looks of the 117. I do like a clip pattern better than a drop point. I like the looks of that fisherman someone posted.

Have one of this model and two little brothers.

Picked this up on Cabela's . . .

Pretty sure I have a 402 in my knife box that I bought at a garage sale years ago. Mine has black scales iirc. Didn’t know they had any value or desirability. Should probably clean it up and decide to keep it or sell it.

BTW Copper and Clad has the big 124 Frontiersman w/ black Micarta on sale for $120.




I really like the little version of those. But don't tell the others. There was a time they were sitting there at a gunshow, only bargain in the place, 2 for $20 and I only got a couple.


Apparently it was once a popular pattern? I hope to bloody mine this year, and not with my blood.

A quick google search would seem to indicated that mine is an early model as it has no date code on the blade (pre 1986), black grips and pointed finger guard.

Looks like the blade has been lightly used and touched up but far from abused. I’m inclined to Brasso the metal, leather conditioner the sheath and try to sell it somewhere or trade it for a hunting knife I will actually use.

That's nice. I didn't know they made anything like that.

Mine fall in the old school category.

Well as usual you dicks cost me some money. Again. Lol
