These are the Buck knives I use in the field. I like Kershaw for folding knives. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/XYTqsjJk/Skinning-Knives.jpg) How do you like the guthook on those Vanguards?

I own lots of Buck knives, but my favorite is my 1974 #112 Ranger. It's a faithful old friend.

This knife had a broken tip and I reground it to a 4" drop point hunter. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/181018.jpg) That is simply stunning! I wish Buck would do that.

I love my Buck 110. I got one for each of my kids as well.

Very nice job regrinding/repairing that knife. It looks like a factory limited edition.

Buck 19 is the one I've had the longest (since about 1972 or 1973) Tough as nails..

I used a buck 102 fixed blade and LB7 lock back for years. Switched to the crosslock hunter the year that it won knife of the year puchased the buck open season 2 or 3 years ago they're my favorites right now. Crosslock for skinning and caping open season for gutting butching in my pack all I need. Good luck and shoot straight y'all https://www.ebay.com/itm/124843052012?hash=item1d1139cbec:g:wN8AAOSwKLphDs4- https://www.bladehq.com/item--Buck-541-Open-Season-Boning-Knife--79555

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; ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/QIadSJd.jpg) OP, your regrind and recovery on that one blade looks GREAT!

Orange 284 that's in my pocket every day. It's essentially a shop tool, and gets touched up once a week or so. Gets so full of lint at times it won't lock open. It's a good knife.

These are the Buck knives I use in the field. I like Kershaw for folding knives. How do you like the guthook on those Vanguards? The hooks work pretty good. They are not a stabbing type of knife. Getting the animal out of it's skin, they work great. The Hooks are a little hard to sharpen but don't need sharpening but once in a while. With the right stones they sharpen nicely.

Hopefully Buck is taking notes! That blade shape is outstanding imo. Can I send you a buck for your treatment? I’m sure others might be interested too. Very nice work.

If Buck came out with that knife I would buy it. Very good looking knife.

I have an older fillet knife I really like.
Works well for fish and deboning deer.

I have several Buck knives. My favorite is the oldest, an 819A with a black rubber handle. I don't think they make that version any longer. It's indestructible and always has a sharp blade.

You ought to send that pic to Buck and refer to this thread to plant an idea for a new product in their heads 😁

Only one model for me to carry. 311
I do have a 110 in the hunting box though. Doesn’t everybody?
