This has been in one of the Sheffield museums since my dad was a boy (if it's still on display)."FLINT XXX HI-CARBON USA" with 6 brass tacks on each side of the handle and a buckskin lanyard in a 1920s Cheyenne beaded sheath. Found in a Cody, WY antique store many years ago.

I never really liked it Jer, it's ground like a cold chisel, and I don't find the blocky Zytel handles comfortable, nor do I like the noisy, Zytel sheathHow did you like it? Not exactly a slicer?
But it's so rugged!I never really liked it Jer, it's ground like a cold chisel, and I don't find the blocky Zytel handles comfortable, nor do I like the noisy, Zytel sheath![]()
'Rugged' ya say?! A friend bought me this for my 50th birthday, must be 1/4" thick!But it's so rugged!
I had a feeling.
I don't have a clear picture of myself from 1993, but I'd have loved it in the '70s.
By coincidence, I have this one out on my coffee tableI don't remember what came with this sheath, but I bought the knife a few weeks ago in Saugatuck for $5. It has some awkward grinding but it seems to be plated. It's a nice little knife, however it came to be.

The forward pin is a bamboo skewer.
With foamy gorilla glue.
I think the 53rd fighter squadron, the Wild Cards, used the BuckMaster as their "Kabar" in Space Above and Beyond. It seemed to fit in space. I thought it was a very nice touch that the Marines were still calling their belt knife a Kabar way in the future.I was watching a video of a couple of Navy SEALs laughing at a BuckMaster recently!

Camillus "Kabar".

I don't know where my Buck Nighthawk is, but I found my Carhartt mittens. I'd put them in a box of china while looking for something else.

Agreed!!Well... I think that those are fine and collector grade knives. Thanks for sharing!![]()
I have a Schrade bowie that is quite similar. I think I've posted it here in the past, but maybe it's time to post it againI don't have any fine or collector grade knives... More like an accumulation of users that I find interesting.
These are a few oldies that I've enjoyed quite a bit.

Stacked leather is my favorite. That union has nice bone scales though. At least I think it's bone... Doesn't melt.
