Those Swiss Bucks and Bucktools are driving me crazy! Need to find one for myself too.
Great pics, everyone!

Here are some badges. We can weed out 4 or so, and have a poll to pick the winner.

@LoopCutter - Really liking those carbon scales.


Day 2

Used the scissors on the Newt to cut open a bag of coffee beans this morning.  They did ok for the size but they did struggle a bit on the part where the bag was doubled over.

That is awesome! :like:

Done!  Clip Point achieved!  Just so you know, this Swiss Buck was brand new, never used, still in box.  Only started carrying it today for the challenge. :woohoo:

Amazing job! It looks like it comes like that! :cheers:

My daughter and SIL bought this Toyota Japanese firetruck for fun.  They put some Christmas lights on it for the season which now need to come off.  The 110 is pressed into service to cut the tie-wraps in order to remove the lights.

Nice job on the badges.  I kind of like the Orange one.

Very nice! I’m partial to the ones that match the 112 Slim Select: olive, tan, black, grey, orange

That's a neat little firetruck.

Had to open this JB Weld for a quick fix this morning.

Thank you for comments on the Carbon covers on my 112.  I actually bought the knife because of the S35VN blade steel.  The Carbon scales were a plus and matched my Sauntet that will appear later this month.

 :cheers: to AWL!
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Today sharing my first BUCk that I bought for work duty on construct job to use as easy to pocket carry knife for miscellaneous jobs.  (2nd from the top, notice the blade)

A BANTAM 284. 
 [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

This is also a fun knife as it was available in several colors, 420HC steel, BOS heat treat. Mid Lock Back.
A great intro knife for first timers requiring a locking blade.
Plus there are other size offers of the BANTAM LINE!

The MUDDY GIRL pattern in my favorite😉💕

I have and have used many Bantams in all sizes. They are great knives, especially for the price! I just gave my little boy a blaze camo one just like in your picture. The grin on his face was priceless!

Day 3: I forget what model this was. 284 maybe? I picked it up (along with the 425 from day 1) from the forum GAW box that gets passed around (join here!! https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=90040.1380)

Day 3

I kept Canoe in my pocket today too. It is really handy knife. I used it to open a package of ham and cut a pear. Unfortunately I didn’t like the pictures I took doing that. In the afternoon I took my dog for a walk in the forrest and I took better pictures :)

The CANOE is one of my favorite patterns. The wood grain on the Buck models also appear stunning in my point of view.
Great picture.  Andy😉

Those are some good looking Bucks up there.  I really don't need the bad influence y'all are providing.  If I'm not careful, y'all might get a sternly worded email from my wife.   :rofl:

Day 3:
Carried my new 110 Slim Select today. Used it to peel an orange and to open a package of new waxed canvas gear from Pnwbushcraft.com. So far, I love the Slim Select, but the thumb stud was loose when I received it, and it rattles. It doesn't affect the function, but it annoys me.

Day 3

The 110 Hunter Sport was on cigar duty today.

A modern version of the 110 featuring torx screw construction, canvas micarta slabs, and S30V steel, the 110 Hunter Sport matches the hand-filling dimensions of the original at a fraction of the weight (thanks mostly to an aluminum frame and bolsters).  Pocket clip and thumb stud are welcome additions.

I have long admired the Hunter Sport, but I can't justify the expense.  If they were more reasonably priced I'd have one of those and an automatic too just for giggles.

Buck 301 today, a lot of people complain about how light the pull is on bucks slipjoints, but I love them.

Great watch,,, and knife! I too appreciate a slip joint!  :like:

I see the challenge was accepted and beautifully executed
Day 2:
Today was our first day back to school after Christmas break. The 055 was perfect in my 5th pocket. It's going to be hard to put this one down. I used it to open a new pack of S-biners that came in the mail today.

Since tomorrow is Friday, we can wear jeans, so I may carry my other new Buck or my 112 that I just sharpened up.  I guess we will see what the mood dictates tomorrow. Great day 2, everyone!(Image removed from quote.)

I can understand that.  They sometimes pop up on Ebay.
