What's your newest Buck knife

[Jeff of the North]

This one arrived today, a 622 from C&C's last warehouse cleanout drop. Shoulda been more wary of that, but I'll blame it on buck fever or something. Not happy with the grind or the serrations (look like an afterthought to me)... going to try to send it back for a refund.

Here's the one that I received...

Very similar to yours but I'm ok with it since it will be a user anyway. Over the long weekend I'm going to radius and sharpen that right angle at the leading edge of the serrations.
My other purchase from them was this beautiful distressed brown leather 119 sheath which looks really nice with the L.E. Ironwood...

A turquoise 364 Rival!
Between this one and a recently acquired 284 and a plethora of 112 and 110 Slim Selects and various LT's, I've become quite fond of Buck's cheap and cheerful, low end made in America knives.
Plus its turquoise

No info. I wondered the same thing. I have a couple of Slim Selects in colors that were only available from Buck's website for a short period of time. Maybe this was a similar deal?

yeah maybe that. I never really paid much attention to the model in the past, so could have easily slipped by me. seeing it now has got my interest on the history of it. thanks for sharing. cool find.

The turquoise Rival appears to be an exclusive. So, I don't think it is deal spotting to say that they are available at Academy Sports-Outdoors webstore.

I just received this beauty of a knife from a fellow forum member. This one has been modified by Leroy with Sambar Stag and Gold-web Turquoise handle and Brass Guard/Pommel. It comes in at 16.8 oz, so just over a pound and it feels like it. The blade spine comes in at a 1/4" at the thickest part. My understanding is Buck made the knife for Browning's Living History Series - Vietnam Commemorative.

Does anyone know more information about the Buck made for Browning knives? I think DeSotoSky posted the first in the series in one of the Sunday Picture shows.

I just found a picture of the original knife from the Browning series (not my picture or knife). That is quite a presentation case.

Badass looking 112. Dressed up like an expensive suit with Black and silver.

That's a sweet 112. I really like the combination of materials and FG.

In today's mail call from a very generous member who wishes to remain anonymous. (thank you again)
Like New C&C 110 with oak covers and 5160 blade. (Has to be a C&C. They the only ones who had Buck knives with 5160 blades.)

Yes. It went onto my belt in the stud closure sheath, after a few pictures.

EDIT: Went in to a black Buck Distressed Leather sheath a couple hours later.

Yes, I like that also.

Makael, beautiful set! and the Legacy edition is very nice. I guess I didn't realize there were that many variations of 898.
