I see we are conducting similar search parameters

smart fella' that BG bee....

Yes, I have fine-tuned mine to "buck naive newcomer seller no knife knowledge cell phone camera."

I will be sending that one off to Buck one of these days......I should get a pic on here so there will be a "Before" record.

I did clean it up a little, but I think it has potential to look really great with a spa treatment.

Thanx for the pics BG
looks to be in excellent shape..Congrats on that one...
did ya check out the blade on the link I posted?

[A.P.F.]

Nice catch, BG! That will look fantastic after the 'Spa' treatment.

[BG42EDGE]

Thanks, guys......and Sit, yes, I see the nice blade like my recent 118.

So did you get that old........105, I guess it is?

I'll have to take a ruler to it when it shows up... Looked at the archived catalogs...hard tellin' till in hand.

I was guessing that's a 118...

[BG42EDGE]

Well, there are more 105s around than 118s......and I do think I see more of a hump in the back than a 118 should have, but it's very, very hard to say.

But you got a good price on it.....partly due to your good search.

BG thank You for that hint...I hadn't trained my eye on that finer detail...by opening two windows in the browser and jumping back and forth I concur with your prior assesment...105 for sure...and a nice piece of 440C at that! Thank You...your pieces of wisdom are well received here...
also noted...the 118 has a steady curve...105 more of an s...sorry for the thread drift...but allways exited to learn more

[BG42EDGE]

Happy if I helped.

I learned to watch for the 105 hump while trying to quickly tell 121s and 118s from 105s in bad e-Bay pictures. When you're watching for good (or potentially good) "Buy it Nows".......you have to work fast.

I've seen good knives vanish in less than a minute. There are some real pros out there watching the new stuff come on the Bay.

I am still learning the fundamentals of the zen of e-Bay.
