A partial trade.

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.

A partial trade.

Post by Mossdancer »

Pretty nice old knife as it turns out. I say that because it looked like it was in the La Brea Tar Pits before cleaning. Took it in part trade for an old Canoe. From reading the charts, this seems to be from 1972. The fellow I got it from said he bought it in the Base exchange in Viet Nam in 1971. He had one tour left before discharge.

Froggy: Thanks,
Funny thing just came to me. The Canoe was a boat and not a knife. When I posted I didn't even think about the Canoe pattern knife.
