119 sheath

What year did buck start using the flap style sheath on the 119

I've got a 67 inverted 2-liner and it has it.

They were gradually worked in starting in 1965.

I've got a few one liners that have flap over sheaths so I would agree with Bg that they showed up before the two liner came into play...

Thanks for the info guys

I talked to a friend of mine and he nailed down 1964 for the start of the flap over sheaths...

That's when the drawings were made.

From the bits and pieces of info that I have, 1964 looks to be when they were first used.

Hmmmmm.......I see where I went wrong.

I had copied some old info where Larry said they were introduced in 1965 and then went on to say that he had advertising from 1965 showing them.

And.......that would mean they were produced in late 1964 to be ready to go when that advertising hit the market--or one would hope so.
