More pics. The 124 is a beautiful knife. Very excited to see this big knife become available in 5160.

Tempting! I think I'm going to hold out for number 101 though

Anyone know what material the guard & pommel are made of?

 

[topgun03]

Pommel is polished aluminum according to the c&c email. I believe guard is aluminum but it’s not mentioned in the email so not 100% sure on it.

kinda pricey but grabbed one. should make a good user with the 5160 toughness.

yeah its aluminum. got to be. guard and pommel.

5160 Buck 124. Cant wait to see some patina on working blades. Dont care for forced patina or mustard and or vinegar forced but natural use.

Sweet, you got one.!!!

yes Sir. gonna be a user too....a harder user as I used the 5160 119 harder than i would a stainless 119 and its held up real well. that 5160 is a very tough steel.

btw, your blem looks as good as mine maybe better.

Ive yet to find the blem. There wasnt a little red arrow on the knife to show the blem. IDK. l

I cant wait to use it either.

I agree about a nice patina on a working knife. This one should be extra interesting as the exposed tang on the handles patina too.
