    The 55 is such a neat little knife. Great fifth pocket carry, and that knife can dig splinters out of your hands like nobody's business. Congrats on hitting 800, my friend!

      Thanks, David. Like you, I consider the 55 to be a great knife.

    The 55 is such a neat compact knife! It's really sharp and I think it's worth the price!

    Probably my favorite Buck pattern short of the 110. Thanks for taking us through the details. Always good to know the backstory. Proud to own one of these. Thanks, Tom.

    Congratulations on 800 subs! That’s fantastic! Still don’t have a 55 but will add one someday. The Squire and that line always seemed to be an edc for the office but the 55 says take me out and let’s play outside. Thanks Tom and congratulations again!

    Congratulations on the 800+ subs Tom. Thank you for showing the differences in some Buck folders. The 505, 503 and 501 have nice reddish wood and a droppoint blade while the 112, 55 have a nice clippoint blade and brass bolsters. Makes me want them all, so thank you very much for that! Since i was a youngster, when somebody carried a Buck and specially the 110, that person was somebody. He had a really good knife, so he was smart and fortunate. That feeling still exists. You can carry a lot of knives in all different styles and makes, but if you carry a Buck 110, boy you made it. Older men carried the 55 more often. Maybe due to joint wear and tear, the 110 is only for tough men hahaha.

      Thanks Jeroen! Buck gives you plenty of options for lockback knives, from small to large, traditional to more modern. And yes, us old geezers have a hard time lifting the heavy 110! lol.

    Always liked the 55. They are solid for a smaller knife. Big fan of the 110 and 112 as well. And they always just look so good. Brass, Wood, and Steel. Very nice.👍

    Yes. This did answer my questions. Thank you so much. I just ordered one with my name engraved on the blade. I turn 55 next month so that is cool too. I really enjoyed the video and the comparisons on the 500 series knives. I will put them on my wish list for later.

    Wow Tom congratulations on 800! I love my little 55 for it’s beauty fit and finish I should carry it more but I can’t bring myself to put it in my pants pocket and scratch it up and it’s too big for the fifth pocket of my jeans I would love to have a little belt pouch for my Ebony 55 because it’s too beautiful to hide away Yours is a peach too Thanks for another home run of a review Way to start off 23

    I still love the Buck 110. I never got the smaller size Buck Lockbacks. My favorite to carry is the Buck 110 automatic. They are legal to carry here in Texas.

      The 110 is a terrific knife and the one that started it all. One of these days I'll have to invest in some of the upgraded modern 110s and 112s. Thanks for watching, William.

    Thanks Tom. Once again you've revealed where the deficiencies in my collection are. This one will cost me at least a 55 and a 101. Did I hear correctly that you've added a fourth 102? Did you double up or add another variation?

    • @knifedelights7473
      @knifedelights7473  Рік тому

    • @knifedelights7473
      @knifedelights7473  6 місяців тому

      I'm sure that Buck saves some money by just buying scraps from Taylor, rather than having to source their own. Buck has always been known for "recycling," as Hoyt Buck used aluminum from junk airframes, etc. Thanks for dropping by, my friend.
