An older one!

Hoyt Buck produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt and his son Al moved to San Diego and set up shop as H.H. Buck & Son in 1947. Al Buck revolutionized the knife industry in 1964 with the infamous Model 110 Folding Hunter. The company's innovative history and attention to quality have made for many great collectible knives.

Alien883,
You did a great job!
That is one of the most satisfying things to me, finding an old knife and bringing it back to life. ::nod::

How did you get the blade to be long again like that? Maybe it's a trick of the camera lens.

Real nice job, I wouldn’t have seen the possibilities in that one. OH
