2 Buck knife questions,please.

[4pwr]

When did Buck switch from the over the handle securing system to the wrap around the handle snap strap on the 118 and other model cases? Is the model 105 a smaller version of the 118. The blades look very close in comparison?

There's a whole passel of folks who talk Buck.

If none of them swings by the General Forum, you'll find them hanging out here in droves:
