ITE, Thanks for posting the after Leroy treatment photo . Your first knife is the 106 and the second you know . DM
 
Nice!

My Father gave me his old Buck fillet knife years ago. Needs some work. Just working on a batch to send to Leroy (and time) now.
 
Very nice. Good to see that Leroy still remembers how to clean up knives...

does the Buck stamp look like it was done one letter at a time?

I sometimes envision my grandfather in his mid to late 30's, father of 4, getting up early before heading out to drive the bus for the day and pounding out a few knives before breakfast...maybe my father or uncle looking over his shoulder as pre-teen boys would be attracted to the noise.

"Al...quit playing in the shop or you will be late for work...." hah

Leroy, said he still remembers how to clean up knives... HAHA! ! ! And wants or will to see you at the Blade show in Atlanta... The knife stamp was done one letter at a time... The blade was made out of a file, that's what Leroy said...

Nice 106 Armand! Thats a masonite handle. The first knives Hoyt made in San Diego, late 1945, were either masonite or clear lucite. He soon discovered a local plastic dealer and started buying from their scrap bin. Just about every color combination you can think of ended up on a Buck knife!
In March of 1947 he started advertising in the outdoors magazines and the color selection got more standardized. You could get any color you wanted, as long as it was red, blue or green. Black was added in April of 1947....Now dont be surprised that you got a history lesson....what do you expect after showing that nice old 106?:D

Thanks for sharing ITE!

Thanks Joe, for the history lesson on this sweet 106... It's the oldest Buck knife I have... I hope to find more now... You just made my day.... ITE
 
Thanks again all, I sure love the way it came out... I was going to put it in the for sale box... But I think I'm going to keep it now... Lots of Buck History in this knife.... I just need a sheath for it... ITE

I wonder who first bought it... Did he/she hunt or fish or ??? ... Has it always been in San Diego??? and on and on and on.... :thumbup:
