All About Pocket Knives

I searched for a thread dedicated to traditional Buck fixed blade knives and didn't find one. I have a few and wanted a venue to show them and see those owned by others, so here is a start. I obtained the 102 yesterday from a hunting partner who sold it to me on behalf of his brother - says it is about 30 years old (give or take) and he never used it. It sure looks unused to me.



I have displayed my 105 Pathfinder before, but not in a dedicated Buck thread. I bought this one at the PX at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD in 1976 and used it as my only deer skinning knife until November 1998. According to my hunting journal I skinned a deer with it on 11-11-98, after that I switched to a Western gut-hook drop point knife.

Nice Oldhunter I like my 119 but I want to get a smaller fixed blade

I was hoping to see pictures of some of the many fixed blade knives that Buck has made over the years, but then this is a pocket knife forum! I had a NIB 119 for several years, probably from the late 1980's, but never used it - gave it away as a retirement gift to a friend several years ago - probably should look for one of the limited issues of that knife to add to my Buck collection.

As promised over in the 110 thread, here are the pictures of my buddies unused, circa 1968, Buck 105 - he still has the box it came in!

This is the only Buck fixed blade I own a 119 For fixed blades I like Schrade and Westerns but my favorite by far is the Olsen ::nod::Other than that it's all about my 110

Great thread.

I love the 102 woodsman, one of my first Buck knives and the model I had on my hip when I shot my first deer. My Dad was using one that day as well and showed me the processes in cleaning a deer with the 102. great knife and perfect for a lot of chores.
