If this keeps up and the wife gets wind of it, I may see my collection being offered on ebay when I get home from work. :eek: :eek:

Yeah...I'm kine laying low since the Mrs is home with her new hip replacement.
She asked me about Decaf Dave's Damascus 110. She said, "and don't tell me your Bucks average $25 each. Remember, I ordered the two you got on your birthday three weeks ago, so I know better".

Well, I "tried" to lay low. But I am weak. A girlymahn.
Pray for me, I have a 188 and a 124 full tang coming in the mail. :eek: :o
I may need you down here packing heat Mike or your TNT to cut flowers for my grave.

Hello Mr. Porter,
Long time no email. I hope your doing well. Sorry about the turtle thing, at least I think that is what that was. I think they don't like links like that in part because after a while, this place would turn into an advertising forum.
I hope you hang out around here somemore, I could use some help on the 188 bayonet questions! :)

Hi Joe,

I've been lurking in the shadows here for about seven years now. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a great deal of interest around here in the two BEST blades Buck ever made; the 184 and the 188.

Perhaps a few pics in a dedicated thread would stir up some interest...especially among us n00bies who have no idea what they are... :)
 
The 184 is more commonly referred to as the Buckmaster and the 188 is my favorite of all; the M9 bayonet.

Thank You! ;) Quite interesting...Did the Last Ditch M9 have a blood groove on the side opposite the saw teeth??? It looks like the start of one in the tang stamp closeup...Did all the M9's??? I've never seen one, and I don't see any other pics of that side... :confused:
