ALL you ever wanted to know about Buck Knives!!!

My dad used a 303 from the early 70's to cut his chew off a plug of Brown Mule until the day he died in 2000 . At his viewing I inquired as to the where abouts of his tobacco knife and nobody knew a thing . My family ! Perhaps you'll have better luck Dave . DM
 
Dear Santa,

It's me JB, I've been good so far this year. I would like data on Buck sheaths and Buck boxs.
Thank you

i have checked with a good fellow called Joe ( one of the head Elvis's at buck)
o see if he found one i could trade him for..sadly he reported he has not seen one..

i would sujest you take very good care of your self and thus out live you good old buddy Davie there ..
and be nice to his brother Bucksway! as...
it is he who may trade you for dave's when he disperses that neat collection..
oh btw way ... about that kind fellow who is selling you your knives?

Ok, you want photo of 117 here you go. The only one I have seen in person was good but looked its age.

This one was on GunBroker.com and it was starting at $4,000.00. I talked to poster, it had been in a family, they lived in southern CA. since before WW2. Felt it was worth that. It was mint. But I would worry with 117s they could be faked. Asked a couple of people way above my level, maybe Scotts level, and they felt less than $1,000 for excellent shape, maybe. I don't even watch for it........Maybe Armand will find one.

Thank you kindly for the pic 300Bucks.

I reviewed my photos from this April's OKCA and noticed this one group photo:
04-18-2010OKCA105.jpg


Is the top/middle folder a 117? I think that it is.

If so it was right under my big fat nose. Had I recognized it then I would have taken more intensive photographs. Next year...

I really like that display! Anyone know the owner of those fine knives?

In my sequence of photos, that display could have been to the immediate right of the Buck table. I assumed that it was their display. The Buck table was M04 in the table location grid. If that wasn't the Buck table then it would have been M05. However, I still have my grid map and I don't see M05 listed... Also, I could be mistaken in the sequence of photos.

Perhaps a ping to OKCA would give you the answer.
 
Must belong to Buck.

Who else would have such a great bunch of old knives?

Thanks for the picture.

:thumbup:
 
I believe that you are correct as to it being Joe's display. It looks very simular to what he displayed at the 20 year event in 2008. HL
 
110 Dave, I haven't been here in a while, but I think you have gotten to the core of what a real collector is at the beginning of this thread.

Maybe others will also understand.

welcome back welcome back welcome back PC-picker!
yes i gave it a lot of thought as to how to
describe that feeling of being a newbie ...
... some times i forget wht it is like to want to
Know Something Now !
and i dont feel good enough to answer questions for them right away
so many times i wait and let some one else answer them..
i get a kick out of the excitement the new collectors show
kind of sparks me up a bit to do some thing
like the opening post here..
i jest wish i could get responses from
CJ Chuck and Joe and Sarah ...
could be they dont like being thought of as elves?
but i really wish for to make the
Mighty Buck Duck giggle a little! :p:thumbup::cool:
