What is SwissBuck?
I would post a pic if I had one, but these are tools that are Buck-branded, but were actually processed by Wenger for Buck.

If my SwissBuck are allowed to play I'm in.
SwissBucks are definitely allowed

What is SwissBuck?

I see AztecCypher and IMR4198 already answered that they are Wenger knives made and branded for Buck, with special black scales.   Here are mine.  Though discontinued some still show up for sale.

I’m looking forward to this.

Perhaps we could get the thread title changed to something like “Buck Challenge - January”, unless the plan is to start a new thread for the actual challenge?

Count me in. Plans are to do this 100% Buck. I have SEVERAL Buck folders, as well as a SwissBuck Trekker.  I am eventually going to get either an X-Tract or a Bucktool. I have a Bucktool Bucklite, but it's broken (cracked pliers stop).

What is SwissBuck?

They were Wengers with exclusive scales (and some tool variants) marketed by Buck in the '80s and '90s.

I thought I had to go buy a Buck.  Turns out my memory is bad, and I found these.  I too would like to participate.
Since I’ve already got a Buck User badge, I will start out with the 110.  When a new badge becomes available, the others will get some use.

Welcome.  With the number of participants we have signed up, we should be good for a new badge.

After mulling it over, I determined that I don't need to use a knife every day, and a lot of my use it repetitive. So unless I'm doing "scientific testing" or can make it a "30 in 30," straight knife challenges (as the Buck challenge would presently be for me) are a pass. Though I won't be participating, I'll follow along and add a photo if the whim strikes me.

Culling of the knife and multi herds in progress...

If I pay five figures for something, it better have wings or a foundation!

This challenge has already cost me about $100 It gave me an excuse to buy a couple of knives I've been wanting for a long time. Can't wait until they come in the mail and I can put them to use!

Let me think?  Buck knife?  Buck knife.  Yeah, I have a nice one.  Let me see if I can find it.....?  Here it is.  I found the original box for it along with the papers and a pink note from Chuck Buck himself.  Pretty, right?  Right?  Genuine Buck here.  Real thing.  Buck.  I can do the challenge, right?  Okay, it's a Rough Rider.  I think I will leave now.  G

    I don't think my bluff worked out, Gra.  Santa didn't come across with anything either.  I have had a bundelous plentitude of Buck knives through the years, but am currently Buckless.  I hope everyone has fun doing the Buck challenge.  Looks like there might be enough to get a special badge made? 
     They used to sell Buck knives at a chain store that was located not so far from my house.  The Army Store.  Buck knives at that dealer were rather higher priced than many other knives, so being a schoolboy I never bought one.  I never did buy a new one at retail, I don't think.  I got some in trade here and there through the years.  I liked how they sharpened up and the shape of the blades and handles.  I had a Goliath, I think it was called.  Great big gollywhopper of a blade.  Also the tiniest little stockman that they make, along with some other odds and ends.  I think a 112 was the last.  Best wishes.  G

   I thought I had a leaky water pump on my truck.  Mechanic decided when I went in today that it was a bad radiator.  Supposed to get a replacement in Monday.  Don't know how many shekels that will be.  By the way, I had to look up a Buck Hartsook.  I thought it was something with a gut hook to use on a hart (or possibly a stag).  I don't know if it is consoling to know that other people lose track of things or not.  I ran around like a rat in a maze today trying to find my Vic Climber.  It was only dumb luck that I found it at all.  I still don't know how it wound up where it did.  Best wishes.  G
