Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Favorite Buck Knife.

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.

My favorite is the Woodsman. I have others too. Used a pathfinder a good bit too.

Ditto.

Did a nice job on that knife.

Was a buck 119....guy I lost that a long trip turned ....to a 110 ,bòreak the tip-off get it re sharpened and it's been on everything hunt sent senile .....but there ain't no gutting blade like a Browning knife..... I have I don't remember the model number but everyone who to gos with me he wants to copy that knife.... closed the thread

116. Have had it for 52 yrs.. Best clam knife ever. 2nd. favorite - The one that Sporting Specialist is showing. Very impressive.

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely love my drop point 110 and my 102 Personal.
