First knife of 2020

Well...so much for my New Years resolution of buying fewer knives. I wasn’t even out of bed before I made a purchase. I’ve been eyeballing a little Buck 102 for a bit and noticed a sale with free shipping. One click and done, still in bed....

I've got a standard and love it, only thing I can think of not to like about this FFG version is the lack of an actual stamp like I so love from Buck.

I got two knives today.
An old hickory 8" slicer and an old Victor wire handled bread / cake knife, my aunt found both when they were renovating their new house and saved them for me.

"...I wasn’t even out of bed before I made a purchase" :D:D:D
Lol, can't blame ya for that! The Buck Woodsman is the first knife I lusted after 50 something years ago when my friend (who had everything:mad:) got one for scouts. The new 102 is at least as cool!:cool: Great score and at an amazing price... almost had me ordering one.:eek:;)
 
Mine will probably be the 23, unless there's a scramble. I'm still mulling over the Warhorse. If it was a bit bigger it would have been a done deal months ago. If there's a scramble for the 23, I might need a consolation prize ... :)
 
2019 was a great year and 2020 is starting off with a bang as well. Just scored on a #86 white bone for my first purchase of the year. The Black Jack & stag 86 arrived last week as my final 2 of 2019.
 
I have a '70's Puma 675 stockman on the way. Been looking for a decent one at a reasonable price for a while. Found it online in a pawnshop. Should be here next week. And I told myself that I need to back off on my knife buying! I can stop at anytime...
 
Had a gorgeous pair come in the mail today. Technically, they were purchased in 2019, though. Case Chestnut Bone Swayback Gent in CV, and a gorgeous Loveless style Drop Point Hunter in 1095 and Desert Ironwood Burl from CThompson CThompson . I can't wait to get some pictures of them tomorrow!

I've found that one tempting too! :)

My first knife of 2020 though, is a very generous gift from Charlie @waynorth :) Charlie posted it well before Christmas, but the post has been terrible here this year, finally arrived today :) What a great knife :cool: Thanks Charlie, you're a great pal :) :thumbsup:

Broke the ice for 2020.

I'm loving the brass. May need to pickup a GEC 44 to compliment it :)

Gotta love the little 55, just last week they announced that they'd be making them with ebony scales from Taylor guitars like they now do with the 110 once again.
