I got my first Buck in 1972. I was a new member of the 1/506th infantry. The Buck 112 was short enough to be carried at Fort Campbell and tough enough to meet the demands I would put on it. I have been a Buck man every since that time.

@danieljaymeshansel50862 ай бұрын
I’d HIGHLY recommend the 192 Vanguard. Not only beautiful but also has the feel of a big handle and blade knife but a little more controllable size. It’s kinda like a cross between the 102 and 105 sizes with the handle feel of a 119.

As a personal favorite, I hold the 5XX series. I’ve carried them since I saw the first 501. The only one in my small collection that’s been with me the whole time is the 501 and the blade is getting narrower all the while until I took pity on it and retired it. The others, 500, 503, and 505, I’ve owned and either lost or given away. Finally, I have all four back in my display case and rotate them into and out of my EDC set. As they’ve been used and abused, they’ve all gotten a Buck spa treatment and don’t look like beaters any more. Not all will agree but along with about a dozen other Bucks (including the 110 etc), the 5 series takes my vote.

I love the 722/726 spitfire. I carry it everyday. 722 is the regular size and 726 is the mini. Depending on what I’m wearing or doing that day, I pick either one. 90% of the time it’s the larger 722. But man I love that knife.

Can't argue. Good listing. I also strongly favor the Spitfire but while I love the 110/112 and 119/120, in recent times, my absolute favorite Buck is the Marksman. Not only a good folder but crazy fidget addictive. However, it's no longer in production. I guess it wasn't a good seller but seems to come out regularly, once a year as one of the specials, in the Buck-of-the-Month series.

The 656 Pursuit Pro Large is my favorite knife by Buck. Its not a 'pretty' knife but its a well balanced workhorse and feels right on the hip. I like the all business orange color too. I always have it on my belt in the woods and use my 346 Vantage for everyday carry.

The Buck 124 Frontier is Buck’s top fixed blade in my mind. The 110 is their best folder, especially in some of the newer iterations.

Buck ??? What a cheap Compagny. I bought over 1000.00 of their knifes. I stoped working because I am very sick. So I wrote to them asking if they could give me the 843 Sprint model. It was like à dream for me. I have a cancer stage 4. They answer like an automatic reply that time are hard and blablabla. Their cost is probably around 50.00. Because of that, all my family, friends and all the followers of them are all saying: DON'T BUY BUCK. For 50.00 they will loose thousands dollards. I was soooo disapoint of the Cie that was tatoo on my chest😢
