What's your newest Buck knife

I've been wanting to try S35VN ever since Buck started using it. Unfortunately the only 112's have been the BCCI knives and a couple of build outs (46 and 64) that I almost grabbed but since they are really rare and odd I just couldn't do it. Now that Copper and Clad made a run of the Slim Pro Plus 112 I don't feel bad about using it. I think what I'm going to do is take off the clip and put it in rotation with the other Slims I've been using for the last few months (including the BOTM Slim in S30V) and then pull the blade for a Custom to go in my Rare, odd 1of 1 collection...View attachment 1239578 View attachment 1239582

I like the red and black theme of that knife. Let us know how it preforms. Personally I'd like to know how their smaller s35 blades do
 
Picked up a pre 86 121 and a 183. I’ve had both before but sold the post 86 121 and gave the 183 to my buddy’s son for deer hunting.
Thought I’d just order another 183 from Buck in the future, but I found out they have been discontinued. So I had to wait for one to be available online at a reasonable price.
 
Bought a great condition vintage 305 off eBay the other day That I should have tomorrow, and just bought a 113 from C&C, I've been interested and when I saw the 113 on sale with free shipping in the black Friday email they sent me I couldn't jump on it fast enough.

Just found this one today when I went to the local knife shop for his "customer appreciation" day (home-made chili and hot dogs cooked in beer). I had never heard of the 532 "Bucklock" before. From my research I found that they were introduced in 1991 and discontinued in 1994 (this one is a 1991 => should be 425m steel), but have been brought back from time to time for custom runs. (In fact, the November 2019 BOTM is a 532.) No sheath or box with this one, but in very nice condition. The bolsters polished right up in a few minutes with some Case Paste. The edge looked original but was not sharp at all. A pleasant 20 minutes or so (so pleasant I lost track of the time) with my little four inch DMT stones (220, 325, 600, and 1200 grit) brought it up to shaving sharp, after which I dropped it into a spare 112 polyester sheath and put it on my belt. Near as I can tell the covers are "real" wood and not a laminate. EDIT: No, further research says it is a laminate.

That's a nice looking 400. I came across the one I have while looking for one of the stag ones.
My sheath is nowhere near as nice as the one yours came with. They obviously got it together on yours.
I was always sorta hoping mine was better, and now you have a pattern knife...….. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:;););)

lol. Yep. I had no idea the 400 was a fairly large knife.
