JUST KNIVES

BillR · Jan 23, 2020

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).

Good looking knives, Bill!

I’ll post the video over here from the late night thread.

Now here’s pics of my 112 auto elite on top and the 112 ranger below it.

Isn't that called a switch blade and therefore illegal. At least in most states. Or does the word "auto" or automatic get around the switch blade laws. I thought the words spring assist got around the switch blade laws but this is quite spring assisted.:Shrug::Shrug::Shrug:

Law enforcement and first responders can own them. You have to have valid credentials to buy one.

Reminds me of the kid locking himself in a closet with a bag of chips so he doesn’t have to share

To any that care...here is the state by state legality of switchblade knives. Lucky that I live in a very free 2nd amendment state.

NY states that they are NOT to be used for self defense . But it’s ok to shoot :Shrug:. In any life or death situation , I’ll deal with the conciquences later.

As Bob said ; “ Cary a BIG STICK ! Poke , don’t swing it.

Bought a distressed leather case for my 112 auto. It’s nice and soft, and I think a good looking sheath.

That’s how I feel. I’ll be driving through several states (including yours) that aren’t friendly to knives or guns in late summer. I’ll be taking my chances with both concealed on my side. But the fact I’m a federal LEO should help matters a little.

Got a nice surprise in the mail a day earlier than expected . :clapping: Smooth , and quality item.

Need to get some Needsfoot oil for the sheath. Will definitely get the 112 in February.

And yes , you CAN shave with it !

Way to go, Frank. Another nice one.

What's the procedure for the Neetsfoot oil? Inside and out, or outside only?

Both , then insert the weapon and it will form to it. When doing Gun holsters , wet the leather , then insert the gun mold and let it dry. Then oil just to keep it from drying out. Too much will soften the leather to loose its shape.

1dn5up · Jan 23, 2020

End result , after wet leather has dried with a 38 special mold inserted after 2days

Looking good, Frank!

I didn’t want to say, but I had a feeling that it would get there early because mine arrived 2 days earlier than what they quoted me.

Here’s my molded open top sheath I bought off a guy on Etsy. It’s made from saddle leather. It’s REALLY nice. Just ordered a snap top one to use as well.

I was gonna ask when I saw the empty holster, but you beat me to it. Me too. I notice those things.

Thanks for the info on oiling the leather. I have a couple old ones that need sprucing up.
