Recently I have decided to attempt to collect the Buck Twin Sets. These sets were comprised of a 103 skinner and a 102 Woodsman(104 Twin set), or 118 and the 103 Skinner(115 Sportsman set), or a 116/103,(117 Trophy set). If any of you spend any time on the auction sights or as much time as I do on said sites, You will know that these sets don't come around very often. Buck made thes sets every year from pre incorporation days, all the way up until they fell off of the dealer catalog in 1990( the last years catalog was 1989). I was thinking about that the other day. Why don't we see these sets around as much as some of the other harder to find item. Just a thought, these were for hunting and in the process of ones trip they would get broken or lost. But this still doesnt explain there rarity. Is it because they arn't in production any more and the collectors have swept them all up, maybe. But with the amount of units made, dont you think they would be more prevelent. If from 1961 through 1989 they made these sets, that would be 28 years. This doesnt include the pre incorportation years. Where are they all???
Maybe they Buck fierys will monitor this page as they have done before and they will start showing up at auction.
