I look at this forum and see folks desperately seeking information on all kinds of Buck Knives.

They all have such a ardent desire for information that they end up here...seeking more light in buck knives...
Many want to know if they are missing some thing ...
I, my self have gone through this many many times, sick in mind and heart with Buck Knife fever and a torrid desire for more Buck Knife knowledge.
One year I went to the best source I could think of to ask for things and asked for The Compleat book of information about Buck Knives for my self and here is what I got back:
Dearest Dave,
I have been watching you and also over heard your wife saying that you have been a good man this last year. I am much afraid that I can only provide you with a regular Buck Knife once a year, you will have to see Joe Houser about the rest.
I have left most of the other things on your list that i feel will make your day so.... this letter is concerning the only one I can not find.
Re: Concerning the gospel and final word to collecting those Buck Knives you so dearly love and want to put in order
TRULY it seems that there is NOT a consummate "Book of Buck" containing 'All the Data' on marking, dating, defineing what was made when it was made and why it was made the way it was. Of all the nice things that have come from those incorrigible boys and girls at Buck ( whom i tried to recruit as elves) they seem to have never put any thing down on paper!
{Note I checked with Father Time and he said there was nothing in the Time Past Vault and the New Year Baby only giggles over what is coming and wont say a word} .
It seems that the sum of all thatloop knowledge resides in bit and pieces in the minds and hearts of the many soles that receive or give a Buck.. so Davie my friend,
I hope you continue to be a good fellow and continue to try to be kind to others and not piss any one off esp your wife as she and all other wives have direct lines to my list making elves
Most fondly yours
Santa C.
PS: I missed them but you should check with Uncle Sam and Davy Jones. Other wise your best bet since Vern has gone home is to gather every bit of information you come across your self and share or exchange with your friends so you all can learn..
PSS: Ugh would you let me know if you find out anything? It seems to come up often on my request list and... well...
I would like the information also!!!
PSSS:If it is real good info I will get you and extra buck... mabe...ok?

you come across that you think any one else might want to know!!!!
