The 124 is a real crowd-pleaser.

[NapalmCheese]

I went car camping for the weekend and wore my 124 pretty much every hour of the day. Most of the people I met were intrigued (it's big and shiny) and the ones that wanted to take a closer look at it loved it.

I still have no need for such a large knife, but it sure is cool and certainly cuts stuff!

 

[eveled]

Glad you and the 124 got some quality time outdoors.

Everyone talks about the 124, like it is a massive beast, its only a 6” knife. Lol.

I took this one to elk camp and it got oohs and aahs, never got to use it, never took it again, just to heavy. It is impressive though.

I'm sure @Enzos Workshop will have something to say about this.

Like some other things... its not about the length but the width...

I’ve found when I wear a 124 on my belt, I look taller and thinner.

Im sure it weights a ton lol, but I love that combo.

Sure it's only 6ish inch blade, but it's overall a pretty chunky knife and certainly much larger than most people are accustomed to outside of the kitchen these days.

Edit to add: I'm just happy to use it! It seems to me that a lot of these end up as safe queens.

But it makes your butt look big...

eveled Tell us again about that sheath. I remember it, but can't recall how it was assembled and what you carry in the pouch.

 

[eveled]

Basically I was looking at the small pouch for a sharpening stone on a Randall knife sheath. Then realized with the amount of real estate on a 124 sheath you could take the idea to the extreme.

I had a 110 sheath with the flat loop on the back so I mocked it up for a picture. I started a thread something like “wouldn’t this be cool?”

Makael replied it sure would be cool, and that it would be a fun project. So I gave him the green light and he had it done so fast my son said, he had to of already had that made. No way he made it that fast.

Notice on the side picture the way he finished the edges brought out the natural color. Its really beautifully done. Mike is a true craftsman. Also notice it is relatively thin.

The original idea was for a survival kit, but I’ve only ever carried it with a 110. Kind of cool it acts like a drop down sheath for the 110 and gets it below a winter coat. I always hated leaving my 110 at home when I carried a belt knife.

To carry a survival kit I’d have to find a suitable container that fit the sheath.

Lee D Its really not heavy, and is a joy to carry.

Thanks again Mike!

I edited my butt out.

I keep trying to resist getting a 124 and you enablers just won't let me.

I have three and I am still looking for more... now some vintage ones.

"Whose side are you on son? Don't you love your Bucks? Then how about getting with the 124 program. Why don't you jump on the team and come in for the big 124 win!"

 

[eveled]

My 3 handle variants. The new handle is very blocky, the older ones rounded. I thought I’d have a preference. I don’t.

I’m not a fan of full width tangs in general. But it works on the 124.

 

[BennyBlade]

does anyone have a picture of all sheaths that were available for the 124 throughout its history? is this already posted elsewhere on BF?

 

[eveled]

I don’t think there was much of a change to the leather sheath. All mine are the same. The NEMO had the plastic.

Here’s 4 variants. I believe these get you from 1967 to mid 70”s.

topgun03 thank you. eveled , I was looking for the small changes in the branding... I know the overall design has been the same for a while.
