Two questions on fixed blades

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.

When was the 121 last offered?

Cal, the Buck 121 is one of those knives (like the 118) that goes in and out of production. There have been several variations over the last 50 years, but the current ones have a thicker blade than the 1970's versions (which were very nice, upscale fillet knives). The last, new Buck 121 I've seen were some of the Boone and Crockett series. OH

Ps Here is one for sale that was made in 2012
