Knife guessing game ( based on description ) now guessing fixed blades

[Hickory n steel]

Floating Filet or bait knife?

Well I guess I might as well tell you, I was thinking of the John EK floating combat / utility knife knife
People are starting to leave the thread so I may have to change to fixed blades now.

I don't know how to get a picture from Google with my phone.
But you could just google EK floating knife, they had 3 different blade shapes, a dagger shape clip point and bolo type shape.

So ... GT is up next?

Honestly at this point it's whoever wants to go.

ok, trivial one then.
Originally this Buck model number was a fixed blade. The model became known as an iconic, venerable folding knife, starting circa 1964.
What model is it?

Did the 112 ever start as a small fixed blade ?

 

[afishhunter]

Nope. Not the 112.

 

[afishhunter]

It might be the heaviest knife Buck makes today.

The buck 110 used to be a model of fixed blade ?

 

[afishhunter]

Yep. From the photos I've seen, the blade was a slightly longer version of the 103, at least to my eyes.

There are some photos of one in the Buck forums, knives made in 1955.

BTW, Your turn.

Wow ! I did not know that.
OK this famous fixed blade originated in the late 1800's and got it's name from a damaged letter claiming it was used to kill a Bear.

Man, I didn't know that!
I thought it was going to be something about Davy Crockett (kilt a b'ar when he was only 3).
I'm telling you, I'm totally ignorant of anything about fixed blades.

Yep, there was a letter from some mountain man but all they could read was K*** A B*AR

Sorry, to be honest I forgot about this.

This knife dates back to the late 1800's. It's named after a small white man, but has the name of a Native American. It's been accused of being a butcher knife with a broken off tip, but I like to think that there was more thinking involved in the pattern than that. It's a pattern that's been made by many different makers. I was looking at mine the other day and realized that there's not a straight line anywhere on the knife. It's a gentle S curve from the lanyard hole all the way to the tip.
