Those Buck 110 knives are cool.I do like the BG-42,I fortunately have a few of the 110's with that steel.
Your collection of 532's are awesome,especially the Master Series.

Almost every Air Force aircrew member in Vietnam carried a big ol' Buck knife on their pistol belt, sure make 'em look tactical but I dont think most of them had the slightest idea what to do with it or how to even sharpen it. Base Exchange at the Fairchild AFB Jungle Survival School must have had a deal with the instructors, they made it a point to STRONGLY RECOMMEND we all get over there and buy one. I just got a folder, which resided in my foot locker for years, finally lost it on a fishing trip after I retired. What was the folder, a 110?

This is the one on the way. 105 S30V. Found it discounted. Fingers crossed. Got to work up a deer with this and enjoyed it. Little longer than I generally use and I liked it. It didn't dull but ever so slightly. And it's purdy!

Lot's of Bucks in the safe, and for a mass produced product I find them more than acceptable. Some see tough use, like hammering them through elk pelvis, and I'm yet to really damage one.

Here you go. I think they're about perfect but have not gotten any "yet". Perfect deer-sized game knife. I have the Alaskan Guide model as well.

Love my rubber-handled Vanguard. I pair it with an Outdoor Edge replaceable-blade model to do all my dressing and skinning chores.

Posted before, but, for the Buck, the small Bucklite is pretty functional. I wish I'd bought the whole table full when they were $10.

Just ordered a Buck 110 from the Custom Shop. Elk stag, S30V, satin, no rivets, brass, brown leather sheath. $158.50.
Have wanted a 110 in elk forever. I've got one of those. One of my favorites. I've got Elk Stag, and Buffalo Horn. Just got home from Red Robbin where I got my Veterans day lunch, and decided from here on out I'll order a new knife from buck every Veterans day. To start off I ordered 2 knives. I have a whole year to decide what's next.

I've had a 109 since I was a teenager. I broke the knife off throwing it at a tree. (I know-dumb move) It sat in my junk bin for decades, until this fall when I finally sent it in for warranty. They replaced it no questions asked. Great service, in my opinion.

OT there was no such knife produced in the '60's.

Couple of years ago, I had a 110 built for me by their custom shop. S30V steel. It’s just about perfect. 😀 I was a "beta tester" for what Buck then called Pete’s Custom Knife Shoppe in 1999 and had them build me a #110 Designer’s Choice: ram’s horn handles, fingergrooved frame, nickel-silver bolsters, BG-42 blade. Here pictured below a 2002 #110-CEN2-0 Charcoal handled Centennial limited edition,420HC blade I'm a big fan of the sadly discontinued 532. Many of mine are customs from Buck. Would you be interested in selling that blue bone one, second from the left?

I know that's an old post but I just saw it..... I don't think so. Curious what you thought it'd take to buy it from me. FWIW that model would be #B532-BL-0 2000 Limited Edition indigo royalwood Bucklock Edge2000 BG-42. It has never been used.
