My favorites are the 110 titanium and the 4” paring knife from the Empress Trio that I use all the time in the kitchen. There’s a field version of that knife, model 107 (discontinued?). that I use when processing game.

This knife had a broken tip and I reground it to a 4" drop point hunter. I have more knives than I could use ( or probably sharpen) in this life. If Buck came out with that knife I would buy it. Very good looking knife. Ditto.

118 Personal. It was a gift, twice as a matter of fact. My dad bought me one for my first deer season in 1971. It was stolen along with the sporterized Spanish Mauser in 7x57 and a Remington 1100 in 1977. Dad bought me another 118 that next Christmas. I don’t use it often, preferring a drop point blade. It gets carried occasionally and was in my pack this deer season but wasn’t needed, unfortunately.

I can’t remember the number on mine but I think it was called The Guardsmate? 7 or 7 1/2” blade with rubber handle. Got it back in 1990 for a college graduation present. Has gutted I don’t know how many deer over those years.

I've never owned a Buck knife. Good thing you hauled ass into this thread and added THAT! Mine is a 112 Bucklight, with a burgundy colored finger groove handle. I have a few others; OP, your regrind and recovery on that one blade looks GREAT! Tools in a glass case, very nice.

Sporting Specialist: I am an avid knife user/buyer/trader but I am NOT an expert about steels and their attributes. Your knife looks great now that you have repaired and refigured it - my question is, did it suffer any diminishment of its strength when you "re-ground" it? I have heard that heat from machine sharpening will cause loss of temper in the steel? I hope your handsome knife is still strong! Any comments on my concerns? I really enjoy Buck knives and use them almost exclusively when afield. I am down to about 80 - 90 of them nowadays. I used to have nearly 200 of them. The Buck I use the most for Big Game Hunting is the Buck Model 317 - it has two large folding blades. Sadly they no longer make this model and I have a spare in case I lose one! Long live Buck Knives Corporation - a fine American company. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

My favorites are the 110, 119, and 124. My EDC is a Slim 110 hung on my pocket. Always liked the orange, so if I sat it down, I could find it. I keep extra 110 slims in case I run into someone that needs a good every day knife. I have others, but I'm pretty stuck on Bucks after all these years.

I bought a Buck “Personal” model 118 in 1970 at the PX in Fort Benning GA. I paid $6.00 for it, and still use it 52 years later.
