BUCK'S for KIDS

Doodle!
Tell Super Pap to look for a backward C behind the 102 on the blade stamping. 1996 it is!
One old Buck showed-up today as a matter of fact, Doodle! A Buck Custom 903 fixed blade 15 1/8" long of which 10 1/8" is mirror-polished blade. The handle is brown paper micarta with four large pins instead of the usual, small, five pin design. Both the pins and guard are nickle silver and it is quite a stunning piece. It was made a little before you were however, maybe between '89 and '91.
Have a good weekend Doodle Bug.... and be careful when jerkin' them knives about :)

I put up some bad info about the 102 being the shortest of the 100 series fixed blades. Can't believe you guys didn't correct me. :confused::eek::p

The 116 is about half inch shorter. Tend to forget about that 116.

But the 102 is still the best option for the Doodles. IMO...
 
Pack Rat, The 116 is smaller but discontinued. Too bad!! I've used my 107 field dressing many whitetail and guys would happen upon me and say, that knife is too small! I'd nod, and keep right on cutting until done. Looking back I'd have liked a 402 Akonua better. But that deer didn't know. So, woodsmanship skills does comes in handy. DM

Hi yas DoodleBug. I hope your cuts weren't too bad!

I didn't get a Buck this past Christmas. Knife that is.

But I gave my Grandson a 112 with his birth year tang stamp. 112-

He is 15 now and is slowly learning to deal with his autism, with the loving care and help of his parents.

After I explained the year codes and tang stamps, he was really excited about his 112. And the fact that I had smoothed out all the scratches and had it all polished up and looking like a new one. He couldn't believe it was as old as he was.

and just as a tidbit,,,he just won 4th place in his class at the Houston Fat Stock Show. He was showing his Brangus heifer.

So there's ya a Buck knife story! :D:D

Glad to see you pop in here!!

Rat, To place 4th in any livestock class at the Houston Show is a HUGE honor. My hat is off to him as well as dad and mom who helped. I know. DM

Yes DM, a huge honor. Specially for him. The heifer he showed this year will hopefully be a production heifer next year. Judges seemed to put a lot of emphasis on heifers that had calves tagging along.

Yeah, the ones of us that have a 116, and a 107, 103, 1xx fixed, are pretty reluctant to let go of them. But they are out there.

Larry,-- heifers that had calves tagging along?? I don't understand this statement.
My youngest worked w/ me building fence for two weeks inorder to get her 116^ which she really likes. It sports a 3 1/4" blade nice shape. Wish I had it.
More blade than her 112. DM
 
I'm probably not the one to best explain this, but here goes.

Judges called a heifer that had a calf, a production heifer.

There were several in different classes that had a handler walking the calf along behind the show animal.

and like I said, the Judges put great emphasis on that, even to maybe passing over a slightly better female that didn't have a calf.

Grandsons calf has now been bred and they are hoping for a calf in time and ready for next years show.
 
Rat, I see!! I've heard of this, its not done in our state. But this is similar to our Dairy heifer program which is a two year project and then she (the livestock) is put into a breeding program (a regular dairy) and raises many offspring. You have a fine grandson who is growing into a stable, contributing member of society. Give him another Buck knife, he's earned it -- someway. DM
