. So , bob had a Buck 110 as long as I can remember . He had given me my first real folding knife in 78 or 79 ... whenever Buck first came out with their Buck lite . I loved that damn thing ! Anyway , so my mother gives me his 110 and a week later Im walking my property with it and Im showing my son where resin wood is on a pine tree for fire starting . I lightly use the knife and to my absolute shock ... the blade snaps in half , lol . Im like .. no shit , I never would have figured . So off it went to buck . Buck has a thing that for 10 bucks theyll replace any blade with like steel and give it a " Spa treatment " . The turn around time is old school man .. like 4 to 6 weeks
Today , it arrived and it is frigging beautiful
I replaced the inner button snap , cause it was missing , on the belt pouch / sheath . Im going to polish it with black shoe polish . Generally I dont wear black leather but now that I have Bobs knife in stellar shape in the pouch .. Im going to order a zippo lighter belt pouch in black , along with a new belt in black and some black " cowboy " boots . Im more a brown leather guy and am strictly a brown cowboy hat guy . I hate black and white hats .. Im neither good nor too bad [ ? ] , so brown is where its at for me . if all that black stuff suits me , I may break down and get a black hat . I might as well , Im currently going to hell anyway
I dig the knife and I miss my Step Dad . I met him when I was 12 and we mostly got along the whole time I knew him
