Picked up a set of Buck bone 300 series knives at an online auction yesterday. A 301 Stockman, 305 Lancer and a 309 Companion all NIB from about 1991. Don't see the Buck Bone much and getting three model NIB was too much for me to pass up.
Picked up two of the Buck holiday gift tins that Walmart has. They are a Boone and Crocket set with a 482 Bucklite Max and a 425 Buck Mini. Pretty sweet for $20. Already broke one open for use. Will probably keep the other back as a collectible. Walmart is supposed to have another holiday tin set with a wood scaled Buck Nobelman and a 425 Mini but my local store didn't have that one.
Also picked up two of the Kershaw Crowns Walmart has for $10 each. A blue handle model in the blister pack and a black scaled model in a box. Not a bad little knife though I don't care for the retainer style pocket clip. It pinches the fabric so you have to lift the end of the clip to slide if off your pocket but for $10 it's a nice stocking stuffer.
Figure the black on will go in my son inlaws stocking and the blue one in mine. I've got a couple of models on preorder but those probably won't come out until next year so this might be all my knife buying to this Christmas.
Anyone else trating themselves or others to a knife this holiday season?
