Count me in as a fan of the 105

Last year at some point I bought a 102, 105, and 117 pro series with green micarta and s35vn steel. First knives with that steel. I wanted a Vanguard too but were sold out by the time I decided. Anyway I decided to take the 105 with me on my son’s bow hunt last night. Hour and a half in the stand and we had 4 bucks come in. He shot a nice 8 point. His third deer but first bow kill at 10 years old. Super excited for him! I really liked the 105 blade for field dressing. Previously my primary field dressing knife was a wood handle vanguard in 420. The point of the 105 worked great making the main cut. I then quartered the deer and the blade again worked great for the skinning cuts on the legs and the rough quartering cuts. So long story short…I think I have a new favorite blade!

Congratulations to your son! What an amazing moment for a parent. Not many 10 year olds have the patience, discipline, and skill to take a deer with a bow.

The 105 is a great all-purpose outdoors knife. Get your son one for next year's hunt!

Thread 'The Pathfinder Club - Members Only!'

May 31, 2018

This might end up being the shortest thread ever, but I don’t care. This club is exclusively for Buck 105 Pathfinder owners who want to pay homage to a great knife. I have been into knives since I was 8 years old. In 1975 (age 14), my father gave me my first real fixed blade knife – a Buck 105 Pathfinder. Throughout my life, I have bought, sold, and traded many, many knives including custom knives. For some reason, the Pathfinder is still my favorite sheath knife. As Buck states, it truly is, “a heavy duty, all-purpose knife for general outdoor use. Ideal for those who need a...
