What's your newest Buck knife

These two came today. Neither are "new", but both are new ro me.

Picked up this nice 192 here on the exchange:

This is my first 192, first time I've even held one. The handle might be the most comfortable I've ever held. Looking forward to trying this one out.

Also picked up another 446 on the 'bay. My second one of these, got it mainly for the sheath, so I can try carrying it.

My hunting buddy gave me a 113 this weekend after I killed a good buck. He knew I had always wanted one; and I truly have the best hunting partner one could ask for. Now I have a 685 for the field and a 113 for the skinning pole. Heading back out in a few minutes hoping to use them again today...

I picked up three knives this week from a Salvation Army auction on eBay. I wonder how this Blade HQ exclusive 112 that is only about a year old made it to the Salvation Army. The 112 came with a 102 from 2007 that looks hardly used and a small Victorinox Classic with the Dallas Cowboys logo. I can understand why someone would want to get rid of the Cowboys knife, but why would someone get rid of a relatively new 112 with nice walnut handles and S35VN blade?

They're a bit on the small side, but definitely will get the job done for minor cutting tasks. They are both "as new". I'll probably carry the black one, but something tells me I should keep the yellow one in it's box. Are they more scarce?

Seems like all of my "newest" Buck knives are actually old 😆. Anyone else get that feeling?
 
I picked up a Mini Spitfire today in black aluminum while Christmas shopping. I read some reviews badmouthing it for what I can't remember - I'm glad it was in an open box where I could fiddle with it. I'm not sure what is not to like. It is a great EDC that has now replaced my Havalon. Ironically, I wound up using it today 3x on different needs. (Weekend before Christmas calls for lots of odd projects.) Very pleased.

I've been thinking about trying one of those. They are very affordable and I like that size of knife. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
