Kalinga's anyone?

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.

Nice one Johnnie!
I remember when they came out in the 80s.
They were really flashy with the wooden handles compared to the old black handles.

Hey Johnnie,

This one will be mine when Dad decides he doesn't need it anymore. I bought it for him for Christmas when they first came out, but I'll be damned if I can remember what year it was. Actually the one I bought got sent back and Buck replaced it at no charge. The edge shattered out on it when I chopped a deer's leg bone in two.

I've worked up several W TX muley's with it over the years.

HELL of a knife they are.

Willie,
As I recall they came out in the mid-1980s.
I want to say 1986, but I am not positive.

Could be Dale.

I was driving hard and fast back in the 80's and usually either had a snoot full of road dope or a belly full of whiskey.

The 80's are kind of blurry in my mind. :roll:

It was damn sure a WILD ride from what I can recall and from what other folks tell me.
