JUST KNIVES

[consitter]

Who's making sheaths for you? That OTF looks interesting to me but no way would I carry that puppy without some kind of sheath. Sure doesn't have to be much but I'm just not finding any. Just started looking though too. So I may find something that would work.

Nay Leatherworks off Etsy.

Very nice collection of 500's there Bill :clapping:

Hey Randall, Been trying to PM you. Your inbox is full and I can't get a message to you. Need to empty so I can send a PM

Cornering the market on sheaths , causes more knife purchases !

You get me, Frank. You get me.

Can anyone tell me about how old a Buck knife is with just one dot ?

1967 - 1972 . Thers no mention of any one dot on the right side. Buck USA is the only clue. To me anywho

Back in 1973 while renovating the house , I found this German WW ll matching # on Scarbard and Bayonet . The leather sheath is a little dry rotted , but the knife and scarbard is not rusted.

Well, did a little bit more digging into the mystery dot ...Found this on a knife forum:

"vintage Buck 527 Treasury folding pocket knife with a rare early transition one dot after the "527" indicating 1985 manufacture"

So I'm not a 100% sure, nothing noted as to the above on the Buck sight.

This one is brown, but also found it was manufactured in different color variations.

Tiny... under 3" closed but very neat little knife indeed. Looking to close the deal after work, just didn't know how valuable it might be and wanted to avoid getting ripped off

You found that in your house?

I was hidden in the basement. The original owner died , so I guess no one else knew about it.

Neat-o Frank!

I'd never be so lucky...

Most interesting find of mine were some old glass medicine bottles and a mercury dime under our old house

Finally got around to taking a picture of my new addition, I had to negotiate with the owner through the consignment shop. Wound up paying $10 more than I wanted, but for $30 still isn't bad considering others like it are being sold for more on Ebay.

On that note, he has a couple of additional pieces there that I like, but asking price is rather high.

I put a deposit down to hold them until I can negotiate a bundled deal.

I have to blame someone so... I'm blaming Bill and Scott equally :laugh:

Also... a couple of questions for you guys

1- now that I have my sheath can the knife be stored in it long term or do you keep them separate? I haven't had a knife big enough to do so until now.

2- just wanted to see what you were using to clean and oil your knives with.

Mine aren't used much and they get wiped down after handling...and oiled with nano oil if needed

Have you tried anything else that works better for you?

Nice 527 with a Rosewood handle :clapping:Randall.

If the sheath has a snap flap, (leather sheaths) use Lexol #2 leather cream on the outside , put a piece of electrical tape over it on the inside. Prevents from leaving a mark in storage , re getting green or a circle mark on the wood.

Use any gun oil . Just wipe with a film , same with the moving parts.

You can’t set it and forget it ! Gota play with it once n a while

Every house built pre 80’s with a concrete block foundation , the masons used Beer Cans to fill the voids :cxtv:

 

[Gone2Three]

Is this a special edition?... Hadn't seen scales on a 112 like this, also what's the value of it $ ?

Thanks

 

[BillR]

I've never seen a 112 quite like that before. Can you post some more pix?

Appreciate your research Bill, thanks for the PM :good:

Buck has a limited time special —- Spend $100 , get a 110 for free :clapping:

 

[Papa Zook]

Starting a new thread to keep all the new knife posts together and not clutter up the Late Night thread. Not that there's anything wrong with that.



Scott got my interest in Buck knives rekindled so I acquired a few new (old) ones. Top is a 110, middle is a 112 and the bottom is an 055 (supposed to be a half size 110).

Still going on. Only applies to full priced items. Can not use on sale/discounted knives.

Never mind that then. Could save more the other way.

COMMERATIVE

I got this in 2010 at Galax. I take it out once a year to wipe it with a drop of oil. Thought I would share. It is #230 of 500. I put the quarter in for size reference.

My early Valentine's day gift from Michele came in the mail today

....found it on Ebay and made an offer before the bidding started.

 

[Gone2Three]

On another note, the owner (collector) that I purchased the 527 from had a couple more knives there i was intrested in as mentioned before, so I asked the consignment shop to make a deal for them, turns out he had two others of the same series he'd be interested in parting with if the $ was right. So after a lengthy back and forth through the parties we agreed to the sale of all 4 of 700 series buck knives for $195 plus tax, roughly 50 bucks apiece.

I'm paying it out over time so they will be coming home hopefully by the end of the month.

I'll keep y'all posted

Nice one. And it's a vintage. What size is it? say, compared to your 501.
