Buck 110 helped me see the point.

Post by PT7 » Sat Dec 24, 2016 10:18 am

I know that every knife owner can provide his/her story just like this one. It doesn't happen often for me, but every once in a while...

Last evening I was cleaning some knife blades just to whittle away a few extra minutes. I've not handled my new Buck 110 folder a lot, and noticed it has a very, very good grip on the blade -- especially when closing. Sometimes I'm slow in getting the point; not this time! ;)

I didn't cut myself per se, but ah, I did nicely stab my left hand. This Buck blade really has an exquisite sharp point! Nothing serious, because I hit the spot between my thumb and forefinger where the skin easily gives way. That's what helped minimize the stab hole.....fortunate me. However, I straightened up quickly in surprise and did take notice!

We all know to be careful handling a sharp knife. I guess I'm still learning! :lol:
Have a great Christmas Eve today!

Maybe if you took your knives to nice places like Dave takes his knive, it wouldn't cut you so much................... :D

Blood sacrifices are not required by knife collectors, but when they happen, they do manage to quickly focus one's attention. Glad yours is just a reminder to be more careful. There are so many other blood sacrifices for us to recall; too many, really; but one most important one tonight.

Merry Christmas.

A few years ago, I was trying to use an old knife of my late husband's and I had trouble closing it. There was nothing wrong with it and my MT husband had NO issues with it.

I quit using it and as my hands got more arthritic with good and bad days... I figured out what works for me.

Seriously, take care and enjoy your knives in a safe manner.

YOU have a beautiful collection of knives.

Catherine, I found a old post of yours, about an 50th, anniversary buck 110. That can be engraved, but link
Didn't show a knife engraved, and it didn't say we're it was engraved, on the blade, or handle ?
Maybe this isn't available anymore,. Thanks for any help.
