Now that's a dandy collection of Buck knives.

 

[ol' school]

Randall, that is a very nice collection! Love the etchings of the horses! ThumbUp

 

[Philip R]

A few of my pieces. There are a couple of hand made knives. The first has oosik (walrus penile bone) in the handle.

 

[ol' school]

Phillip, nice collection of knives.

 

[Gone2Three]

Very nice Phillip,

I'll bet there's a very unhappy walrus out there :AGGHH:

You've got to tell us a little more about them hand made ones ThumbUp

 

[Philip R]

The oosik handled lock blade was made by a guy here in East Texas. My first wife got it for me as an anniversary gift. Lost the wife; kept the knife; life is good! The little wooden handle hunter was built by a guy in Colorado. A saleslady went there on vacation & brought it back. It's made out of a saw blade. It's not an expensive piece but looks old school.

I've got a double lock blade Buck with the lock releases in the center of knife. Blades open on each end. I must have it hide pretty well. I'll have to go thru the gun safe to locate it. I got a bunch of cheaper off brands that was given to me for Christmas & such. People think they are the perfect present for men, could be right!

Sharpening a new knife

What do you guys use to put a good edge on a new knife so you can then put a really sharp on with a fine stone? I got one the other day that you could ride to China on and new get cut. It isn't even close to having an edge on it. It almost looks like I need to use a grinding wheel to get close but surely that can't be. So what do you use to get an edge that be honed in?

Anything Chinese has a 20 degree edge. American is 14-18 degrees.

I use a electric two stage sharpener on stainless steel , as it doesn’t hold a edge. Plus any SS blade knife is cheep. Carbon steel , use a good hand water stone , and work it. Takes time but well worth it .

Crap, I was hoping y'all had a magic machine that just whipped a nice edge ready for a stone to bring in that final little bit of edge. Crud

Oh I forgot , for that razor sharp edge , finalize with a few swipes on a smooth leather strap.

You will get that barber sharp edge

I'd like to add this to my stash, but it's kinda pricey being a collector knife. Case Texas Longhorn.

Nice double locker :clapping:

I found a couple for sale on the net. I haven't shopped at any gun & knife show in the area.

 

[Gone2Three]

That is sweet!... yeah, them case knifes can get on up there especially for the older ones. What year is this one Philip?

 

[Gone2Three]

Speaking of the net, I really need to stay off of Ebay :cxtv:

 

[Philip R]

1980 or so. I heard that about Ebay!

 

[BillR]

My friend emailed me yesterday saying she found three more display cases of knives from her late husbands collection.

I'm going over next week to see them in person. Here is one case, The three beige ones in the upper left corner reminded me of Randalls 700 series Bucks. It turns out that they are Camillus 100th Anniversary limited editions.

 

[Gone2Three]

Here's my latest, so when I picked up the Bucks there was this one in the case that caught my eye. It looked unused but I wasn't familiar with the brand. Had the script writing so I figured it was a Buck knock off... He was asking $50 so no thanks...

Went back today and offered the guy $30 ...and it came home with me.

On a side note I've got a couple more vintage knives coming in from the evil Ebay sight.

That's it...no more ...I've got plenty of pretty knives now :cxtv:
