What's your newest Buck knife

Looks like a trip to TSC is in my future. I'm sure I need something from there anyway 😁. And I'll probably come out with a Spitfiire, if they have one.

Our local TSC is on the way home from our grocery store, so it's not even out of the way. Besides, we always have the dog with us, and she loves going into TSC because she always gets free biscuits there.

The Spitfire isn't one of the latest super steels, but even at full price of $50, it's still a pretty good deal for a knife like that.

110 CKS Ironwood. Arrived today! I was a little worried because the seller's pictures were not the best. But it was not near as "beat up" as the seller described - so very pleased!

Well.. When the new BOTM 112 gets delivered it will be that one..But hopefully today it will actually be a 110 I bought as a surprise gift for my Brother.. There's not many he doesn't have. It's the 50th anniversary of Daytona Beach Bike week from 1991. It has a heavy metallic insert in both sides of the handle that probably is Pewter but I'm hoping might be one of the rare ones made in silver. There's about 7-8 different 110's of this type/style made by a belt buckle company including a running deer a Eagle even a bulldozer lol! I've only heard a few references to the Sterling silver insert but instead of a Shieth this had a black velvet bag peeking out in one of the pictures.

Very nice! I haven't seen many of the burlwood series on here, but they're lookers.

Thanks. Yeah. It's right up my alley. I looked and couldn't find any on here or image search. Figured they must be new. The trio is a bit smaller than I thought, sort of medium stockman size (?). But I like it. Perhaps a touch rough with and the dark spot that looks like glue. But hey it's a cheapo burl knife. I like it
 
My new 112 Slim Select arrived today. The blade profile is the same as my 112 Slim Pro TRX. The one I bought a couple years ago, (The black one), has a blade profile almost like the traditional 112s. Not a big deal, but I think I like the old profile better.

I bought my first Buck 50 years ago (110 two-dot), and today I bought my first "modern" Buck. Got a great deal on a new-in-box 2020 Mini-Spitfire with gold anodized handle. Excellent knife, perfect centering, solid lock-up, no blade play in any direction. This one will get a lot of use. For a "modern" this still checks all my boxes: no thumb stud (I just don't find them comfortable to use) and a center back lock (which I find easier to manipulate than a liner lock).

I received that '92 112 Ebay purchase today and it's a mostly good with a bit of bad.

The knife is all good and exactly what I expected.
Here it is out of the box.

And after a little TLC and a good sharpening.

The only bad is that I can't really carry it yet because I don't have a sheath.
The sheath that was included which I'm confident now the original owner didn't carry it in is very nice , but it's too big for a 112.

It fits a 110 perfectly, but completely swallows a 112.

It's a pretty nice sheath that sits relatively flat, but I like my standard 110 sheath.

On a side note if anybody likes this sheath and has a spare 112 sheath they'd be willing to trade for it that would be great.
Otherwise, I'll probably just order one from Buck if I don't decide to make myself one.
