Sunday Picture Show... (2-26-2012) . . . ( OLD Show LOOK at the DATE...)

[jb4570]

In keeping with the opening theme, here is another 102. I've shown this one before.
1994 blade, 1998 bill of sale. Box label WOODSMAN STAG / 0102-ST-0 / Cat. 694 Original bill of sale in box ... $52..... $50 for the knife and $2 for Twinkies. I always got a kick out of that purchase combination. The commisary twinkies must have been really stale.....

Twinkies stale......no way, those things will last forever. I bet the knife was only bought to cut the Twinkies in half to share with a freind!

The 901 Scimitar

I like the handle on your Scimitar.....:thumbup: I recently purchased one very similar only mine has stacked masonite on the handle. Very plain compared to yours and the blade is all chicken scratched with signatures. I hadn't researched it yet and didn't realize there was more than one. /Roger

Since today is the Daytona 500.

My 301 and 303. Big brother and little brother.

Can anyone tell me if this is the right sheath for this sweet 102...

All of my knives of that vintage came in flap sheaths. I date them loosely by the rivit on the back. I do not have a 3-line inverted but all of my 3-line uprights came in a sheath with the rivit like shown on the 102. All of my 2-liners came in a sheath with a smooth headed rivit like the 119. Your knife falls exactly between those two so perhaps either sheath may be correct.

I will stick with thw 102 theme

Can anyone tell me if this is the right sheath for this sweet 102...

I don't think that this is the correct sheath for your inverted three liner.
The sheath seems to be from the early sixties. It looks like the sheath from my
1963 - 103.

Best,
Haebbie

Yes, Roger, the burlwood looks great on this knife, even this one. It looks like it is translucent. I'm not able to show that in a picture.

Howdy guys, great show so far!

Been looking foward to posting this one.

Many here may remember we lost my father-in-law last summer. He was the definition of a worker. His retirement plan was dieing and unfortunately he retired too early.
When going through his things I found a 560, like him it was a worker, the blade was shortened and reprofiled and all scratched up. Great character marks.

I sent it in to Joe at Buck for a reblade with the story of whos it was and what it meant. He was glad to undertake the task. To my delight, it came back better than I had hoped for, though I'm not surprized. My only regret is that I forgot to take before pics:grumpy:

When I showed it to my wife for the first time, she immediately cried, so you know it met here approval as well.

Here it is-thanks for looking.

Here is a couple pics with my other 560-I took a comparison pic, Bobs, which is older(forget what stamp it was) is considerably thicker with no frame bevel.

Thanks sky

As to the 102 sheath, I'd go with what Haebbie and MBJ said.

I have this one......and I think it has the correct sheath as it came from a source where they should have stayed together.

So my guess, ITE......is that your sheath is quite a few years older than the knife.

 

[ItsTooEarly]

Thanks DeSky, Haebbie and Mb for all the info about my older 102 sheath... ITE

Early one liners could have come with the early flap over sheaths or the collar strap sheaths, as most of you know Buck Knives never threw anything away so they used the collar sheaths on the Barrel Nut knives as well as the early one line stamp knives. Nice Knife BG
