Hello board and thank you for a wonderful group of members that encompass the meaning of hospitality and reception. As is such the case often I am needing advice and help in regards to this recently found beauty amongst the undesirables in life. In advance I would like to say "Thank you" to any and all of those that comment and help.

That's a pretty early Buck fixed blade.

I believe this would be made from an old file, and could have been one of the knives Hoyt Buck made during WW2.
You should ask the moderators to move this for you to the Buck section as there are those there who could probably get you all information you'd wanna know.

That is a definite treasure, thanks for posting. More of the story about the find if you please. I'm sure Joe Houser at Buck Inc. would love to know about this knife. He is the one that's the historian for Buck. Preston
 
in earnest I am only the messenger for a Cousin who has acquired the piece. Thank you so much for the lead and i will contact him.. if ever in Hot Springs I would love to buy you a beer or a bite... jason
 
Someone here can tell all about that stamp??? Ha. I looked at all the photos and cannot determine if it is a 4 strike stamp, from group 1&2, or a single strike stamp. As the photos are not that good. Only Because the handle has no white in the center would I concede to group 1 or 2.
To me it looks to be a single strike stamp placing it in group 3, around 1947. Still, very rare. Power hacksaw blades were used as well. Likely handled by H.H.Buck. DM

Oops, my mistake.
For some reason I thought all of the handmade Buck knives were called 4 strikes.
I will edit that out of my post.
 
To each of you that have shared your thoughts and insights.... Thank you. The pictures are coming and i have been practicing while loading the magnum on a car hauler bc i thought it could float last week in all this rain.
 
I am with David on this an saying single strike. I think Joe may have one a lot like it in his display of early hand made's. 300
 
Examining the additional photos, I will say it is a single strike as the letters are so evenly spaced and all straight. I have held several knives of
this era and they are very interesting. Thanks for posting it. DM
