Imported 757 Axe in yellow. These also came in standard black and less common red.
A blue handled one was shown on here years ago, probably a prototype.

never seen the red or yellow til this thread, only have the black one...I like this yellow best...but a blue one might bump the banana yellow hatchet from its top spot in my head.

jbmonkey Here is the link to a picture of the blue 757 from 2014 by dctex99. It is the only one I have ever seen.

Anyone collect 757 Axes?

I think these were the most colors they offered, and was in 04?

I had one of those 757's.

It quickly became a throwing axe as I tossed it.
That's an axe? Really?

I never knew those existed. I can’t believe they went with yellow instead of white. Red White and Blue would have been cool.

jbmonkey Thanks for posting the thrower.

Roger flagged it....I didnt even know red and yellow existed until this thread...then Roger with his super Buck knowledge comes along......and says blue and found the post with it.......

thanks to Roger and FuzzyBuck who posted the imports first in this thread...

yep white would be kinda cool......

 

[eveled]

Yeah I caught that and re edited my post. thanks Roger for finding that picture. Hard to believe there was only 1 blue one. I wonder were it is now?

The 076 is cool but not crazy about throwing it. I'm used to throwing a hawk and the 076 is awkward, even compared to throwing a plane ole hatchet.

Another rare Buck Axe. A very rare axe with the full wrap micarta handle that encloses the handle frame. When Buck switched to micarta about 1971 they did the full wrap only for the first month or two. I've only seen a few.

He kind of quit collecting. Once in a while he picks up a knife but not like before...

ItsTooEarly Armand, do you still have the beautiful 106 that David Yellowhorse worked his magic on? I remember seeing a photo of it some years ago in another thread. If so It surely belongs here.

I'm in jeopardy of losing my Buck Lover credentials. I didn't even know Buck made hatchets in the past!
