Well, I guess I can start this thread a little early. At our house we open one present the night before. I just happen to open a Buck, a 110 in a tin from Dick's. It is Boone & Crockett Club. On the balde it says "The further one gets into the wilderness... the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom. --Theodore Rooseevelt".

It has a wood handle and looks very nice. I will get pictures tomorrow. Post what you got for Christmas here and post a picture if you can.
 
I got two web specials - the paperstone ranger and the charcoal dymondwood 154CM 110. =) Yes, I'm Santa at our house! That 110 is a cut above!

Merry christmas to all!!
 
i got in the mail a paper stone drop point !
and will get what might be the last of a 2007 issue of a 111!
shipping delays..

by the way every one
i got the full prototype set of the heartage issue in this week!!!
the blades are engraved on the back with heartage prototype
with the numbering of one of five ,,, two of five and so on
on thinking of this with the "one (ect) of five "
it would be some thing that would id that they were made as a set
and unless some one knew which knife ( the 532 for example)
was what number of the set no one could take and make a fake!
hee hee hee, no i am not going to post which is which lol lol
but the set looks good
so as i got it in this week i think of it as Christmas knives!
 
In a roundabout way I did get a new BUCK for Christmas. I gave the crew (12) new BUCK 303 knives for Christmas and being I was giving them 303’s I got one for my dog, which she has to have me carry so yes I got a new 303 BUCK for Christmas. Merry Christmas to all.
 
Merry Christmas everybody. I did not get a new Buck, but, my wife did. I bought her 4 of the Buck Kitchen knives: the chef, long slicer, large paring, and small paring. I used the chef knife yesterday to butcher a ham. Worked good.

I did get a 133, a Buck sharpening kit that has been sitting in a friend's dresser drawer for 25 years. It was his step Dad's, so who knows how old it is. He didn't need it, he always brings his knives to me to be sharpened. It's cool and even the plastic box is intact. Most of them that I've seen, used, the boxes are trashed.

I've had a great Christmas and Mama likes her knew knives. Using a term I seen in another thread, I told her they were Doe Knives.........

These came in the mail yesterday, so I guess you could say I got them for Christmas.

Nothing from Santa, but I did go a little crazy at the factory store sale in Nov. There is a Marine in A-stan that got a nice 112 Ecolite on Thursday that I picked up on the last day of the factory sale and put in a care package his mom and dad sent him. Had coffee with his dad on Friday and he told me he had e-mailed that he got the package and knew who slipped in the knife. I guess when you are only known for knives and martial arts its hard to play secret santa.
 
No, I didn't get a Buck:(

Will be going to Walmart tomorrow (or maybe tonight if I feel motivated) to fix that if possible though. Check on the box sets they had and if nothing else buy one of their Paklites.
 
Yep... After all these years of collecting Case and Schrade slip joints, I finally got my first Buck slip joint :D

I was going to buy one anyway, but Santa brought it, so now I can get something else to go with it.

Its a charcoal 301. I haven't hardly put it down since I unwrapped it.

The size is perfect imho. The only faults I can find with the knife, is a VERY small gap between two of the back springs. The blades are smooth on opening, but don't have very strong snap. With a little cleaning and oil, I would guess they will snap a little better. Its not really a problem I'm just use to knives with stronger springs.

The main pet peeve I have is "Pin Show". In the past, I've never kept a knife that showed up with this issue, and really don't think there is any reason that it can't be remedied. However, it is purely an aesthetic issue for me because I'm very anal about things. I knew from all the pictures I've seen, that most Buck slip joints have this, so I wasn't surprised to see it.

This is the first knife I will be keeping that has pin show. I like it way to much to return because of a little thing like this.

Almost forgot, all three blades will shave very nicely :thumbup:


I've never been a big fan of the stockman patterns, because with only 2 springs, the blades are crammed into the knife at an angle, and usually rub against each other.

The Buck with 3 springs eliminates this. I love it.. All the blades sit straight, and are easy to get ahold of to open. I really think other companies should use the three spring setup, its a great idea. Besides, I have big hands, and the little extra width in the knife makes it very comfortable in hand.

The other bonus with this knife, is the leather pocket sheath. Very cool :thumbup:
Although I probably won't use it much, its a nice extra that I have never seen another production slip joint come with.

I don't often get new knives, most of mine are older and pre owned, but of the ones I have bought, this is the most excited I've been about a new knife.

After getting this one and inspecting it, there will be a few more Buck slip joints coming home in the near future... :D
 
I got the Boone and Crocket 110...the collector tin from Dicks Sporting Goods. Merry Christmas!
 
Kami,
I would open and use the Nobleman.

I'm headed out in the am to fix my "no Buck" Christmas!:D
 
Kami, Welcome . Open it up and use it, then let us know what you think . 338, glad you like the 301 . Gundude, I got a couple of those "Chairman series" knives and really like them as well . Kirk, I agree the Charcoal handle 110 with 154-cm blade is a cut above . Plumber sent one to my daughter Sarah . More like she unwrapped it first ! She did allow me to look at it ;). Then I recieved one from Flatlander ! Totally blew me away ! Those are darn handsome models ! I wish I had moved on it when you guys were discussing them . But I'm so tight . Jack, You'll have to explain to me what "DOE Knives" are ? Thanks . DM
