15 I worked all summer detasseling corn. My mom freaked when I spent 200 bucks on a Buckmaster. Black one, with a nice compass thrown in. Loved that thing! 5 years later it was stollen by cop. 😢

I've got a BuckMaster. Got it back in 1985 and I paid $150.00 for it new. Custom 2-toned. Sandblast Grey knife with black cap and black grappling hook spikes. Sheath has the 2 Buck utility pouches attached to it. Still have the original compass that came with the knife.

Who cares about Buck knives…what is truly impressive is that you went to Idaho and found your twin!!

Love how passionate everyone in the club is! Also really cool to see that Buck family members also endorse and are part of the club!

Amazing work Zac! You keep bringing us great stories about knives and the people who love knives. Keep up the good work!

I have a "customized" Buck 110. There was a guy in the 80s that would take your Buck 110 and then grind on the bolsters and handle to give a really unique looking knife. Larry DiTomasso was his name, I think. I sent in one knife, and once I got it back my dad sent in his 110 for the same treatment. Very cool.

When I saw the Buckmaster, and the title, I said to myself, "Why SHOULDN'T they?" The Buckmaster is a boss tactical fantasy blade, known for its visually stunning appearance more than for its actual utility, which would make it a perfect collector knife. If James Bond never used a Buckmaster as a grappling hook to access a SPECTRE yacht, then that's a clear missed opportunity in the illustrious Broccoli/ Saltzman legacy.

My Grandfather's 110 and my 110 sport are the keys to my collection. Over 100 tons of brands. It's always a personal story that sets something apart. It's things like this that make me love the knife world. Passion and community are always up front.

Thank you for bringing interesting content to the Knife/EDC online space. It's fun to see what new stuff is coming out, but it's important to learn about the people, communities, and history as well. I don't know anyone doing it better than you. Well done!

My best friend had this knife. It was AWESOME! I truly miss those days.✌️🔪

When I was a kid I remember walking by the buck master in a cutlery store window at Mid Island Plaza Mall never forget those spikes . Thanks for the memory Zach

Outstanding! And nice knife Rich!

Thanks, Zach 🙏

Didn't even know these guys existed. I've had Buck knives since the early 70's and had no clue. One of the great things about the knife hobby is that there's always something new to learn.

You put so much work into every video, my favourite knife KZfaqr❤ keep up the amazing work!

Really cool work, Zac! Hope to visit buck soon! Greatings from São Paulo, Brazil.

A blade that shows every hammer blow struck in its formation (eg @ 0:26), I find so much more appealing than the typical uniformity of factory blades.

More than family❤❤❤😂 I love it Amen

Can’t wait to see an updated Buckmaster!

Love the video man, cool to see some of the rare stuff and the stories! 🤙🏻

The Buckmaster was way out my price range i the early 80s, however, my cousin had one, so I was able to use it. I recall it on pages of S.O.F. Magazine, etc. The 80s ruled for things like that...

Very well done Thanks

Commenting for the algorithm, thanks for the video Zac

I was in high school when this club started. My parents bought me a 110 folder a few years for Christmas that I still have and all four of my hunting knives are mad by Buck.

A few years ago a friend gave me a Buckmaster that he’d had for 30 years or so. I had wanted one since the eighties but never managed it. It’s missing the spikes ad pouches and isn’t in mint shape or anything but it is the center of my collection now. I’m not going to ever sell it.

Great video, Zach. I'm a more recent member of the Club, and I'm glad I joined. I really like the knives and what the company stands for. Thanks for sharing!

Apparently the spikes on the Buckmaster were designed to be a grappling system. I wouldn't climb with it, but using it to pull Constantino barbed wire would be ok.

I'm not a BCCI member, but I am Buck fan and a collector of the 305 lancer. It's a great community, they're a great company, and the forum members are great but they're a bunch of enablers.

Very cool! 👏

Good, solid and affordable knives. Carried one since 73.

A fascinating and interesting story. Thanks, Zac…!

Great video. I'm a club member 👍

I am genuinely confused on how Zac doesn’t have millions of subscribers. Anyone else?

Awesome video!

Great video Zach, lots of information, thanks for sharing. Be safe.

Your videos are getting more high quality by the day!

I have been collecting Buck Knives since the 1980's and I love them all. I have 10 Buck knives so far. 7 of them are from the 100 series sheath knives. I also have two Buck knives that are no longer made. The Kalinga, makes USA, KALINGA, USA. So I know that dates it to some time in the 80's. And one "Rare" buck knife. The Buck 620 with inverted V, USA stamped on the blade. So if I am remembering right, its from 1988. Its not a bad knife. I guess I bought it because I could not afford the General back then. I now have a 120 General, great knife. Will I ever buy another Buck knife, I don't know. Its not that I do not like them, specially the 100 series. It's just that I am getting older and don't get out as much. I have a Pathfinder, great knife, but it has a bit of a wiggle in it. I think the glue finally dried out between the handle and the tang. I do not want to send it in. Because it has so many memories attached to it. Plus I like the fold over sheath better.

I have seen a few (three) variations of the Buck 110 automatic, how many are there? Thank-You.

I never saw that particular Buckmaster before (the one he shows early on) it must be an early prototype, iʻm guessing. Was that the one you bought and chased the bear with, early production model, and I am wrong about it being a prototype?

Those spikes are used as repelling hook. So tie off your knife toss it over a wall and climb like batman

Great video, Zac! I just recently received my first Buck (a 110, USA made), and the quality/fit/finish are amazing.

I have loved Buck knives since I bought my first one in the early 1980's... A model 112.

Good job man. Great video. I’ve had a couple of experiences with Buck and some warranty work. Fantastic story and a great American company.

I always wanted to join them . But I belong to many knife clubs so far . Love there knife and history.

Good work guys.

Yea

Cool story about the club

A Lucite 110 or 119 needs to be a buck of the month sometime soon. I want one.

I had a Buck 110 when I was a Boy Scout. I should buy another one.

Idk what’s going on but KZfaq won’t recommend me your videos as of like 2 or 3 videos ago.

I got a Buckmaster years ago... pretty useless but a neat collector's piece the M9 Bayonet too is kinda useless too only fits an M-16 and I hate saw-back blades but again a nice collector's piece about the only Buck Knives I have the NEW stuff isn't as good

cool!

Learned something new.

You should do more videos like this!!!!!

Thank you for that tutorial an American institution Buck knifes 😊🎉

My buck m9 bayonet is, for me, my rare buck I'm sure it's not but to me it is

Tony looks like future you

❤❤❤

A bunch of cool mother buckers

Great content

Question, i just bought a volsteed corgi with a micarta handle and i noticed it got wet with sweat in my pocket at work. How do you keep it from getting gross or how to clean it?

Awesome Video!!!! Keep em coming!

Hell yeah dude 🤙

Buck Knives are great, except now that they're producing some in China, they're not quite the same "Buck." You gotta pay a bit more attention to the label before you buy. Still, love their warranty.

I like turtles

🤘🤠

This is cool video.

The top shirt button doesn't get buttoned without a tie

So, these are the choads who make so many buck models astronomically expensive beyond reason and completely sold out before you even realize they're coming out.

If I get my first BUCk knife which one should it be for my first one

I dont like Buck. 2 Emails if there is any option to ship a custom Buck to Europe - no response.

I bet these fanboys would run if Joe X came in the building🤣

👍🏻

Its like the illuminati of knives
