New to Buck Knives

[specgrade]

I have always admired my father's Pathfinder. He's had it since the 1960's maybe even earlier (did they make those back then?). I wanted a 110 for my collection so I bought one and also got a 119. Now I'm hooked. Great products and made here in the good ole USA. Gotta love that! :thumbup:

Welcome!!! Unfortunately you can try to cure it with more Bucks, but its never cured. Keep trying though!

No, Spec, there is no cure! Only more ore less high Buck fever.

God bless you.

Best,
Haebbie

Best cure is only new Buck knives.

Spec, Welcome to the Buck forum . Your 105 was made back then (1961) .
There was a 105 made prior to that time but the blade shape is a little different and the handle utilizes stacked lucite disc . If yours has a handle of black phenolic it could be from the early 60's . Look on the butt end of the pommel if there is a circle there its from 1961 . If no circle there but is stamped Buck (just one word) look on the side of the pommel to see if there is a visible pin going thru the pommel . If so, your 105 could be from 1962-66 .
Depending on the spacer material in the finger guard . Describe that . What color . DM

The problem with that 110 and 119 is that they're going to wear out on you after just 25 or 30 years of hard use. ;-)

Yeah, there is no cure, you can only treat the symptoms... and indeed that is the aquisition of more Bucks:thumbup: It's not a bad sickness-is it?
