Do any of you guys have a pic of the B&C Guide and Personal together? I want to see the size difference.
 
I waited a couple of days hoping that someone had the exact knives you're asking about. I don't have the B&C models, but here's a comparison photo of a standard Guide (mod. 121) on top and a standard Personal (mod. 118) below. The sizes should be the same as the B&C versions.

Deleted photos due to mistake . See posts 10 and 12.

Plumber thank you Sir for the pic, the top knife looks like a 105 Pathfinder but they are all so close it is hard to tell. The picture shows what I was looking for the handle length. I was hoping the handle would be a little longer for the Guide but I guess not.

Trust me, it is a 121 Guide, not a 105.

The handles on both the 121 and the 118 are the same size, only the blade is different.

1/2 inch of blade length and from what I can tell the 105's have a false top edge of about a half inch. 121 is 5.5 inch blade and 105 is listed as a 5 inch blade.
 
Guy's, I've made a major and embarrasing mistake. The 121 in my pictures IS actually a 105. My only excuse is that the first one I used for the comparison was in a 121 sheath and in a 121 box. I didn't bother to get my reading glasses on and check the tang stamp.

I'm really sorry and I'll do better. I just have to locate a nice 121 to take another picture of.

Thank you Rick, and if you ever see where I've messed up again, DO NOT hesitate to point it out to me. I seems that I also lied about not having the B&C versions, at least about the Guide. I just ran across one that I'd forgotten all about. Here it is with the personal.

 
Plumb,

I am giving a seminar on record keeping in Idaho....but remember, I did a article on it for BCCI newsletter. This is a good example and in fact I may use it in my seminar (names will be deleted) of why keeping records is a good thing. You could have went to your record and found your BC 121 and while making a record of your 105 in the wrong box you would have corrected that mistake.

So again I suggest; ten knives or ten hundred making a nice record sheet for each Buck is worth the time.....

300
 
All I know is I wish I was like Plumber and had more Bucks than I could keep up with.
 
This request looks to have been answered but since I already took the picture...here ya go.
More pics posted over at the Sunday Picture Show.
