The Buck 100 Series Appreciation/Photo Thread

So ItsTooEarly, what do you have a BUCK DROP OFF SITE/BOX at your house? LOL How long did it take for you to [compile] all of those?

thanks for making me drool, LOL I'll say its nice to have spares of anything! I but things in #3 why I have no clue? though "#3 good fridays in a row" as a toddler I had terrible accidents. Allgededly My Italian Aunt put a hex on me right before the 3 year period, The Hairy Eye....
 
Some really wonderful knives here in these last few posts, gentleman. I am humbled by your collections.

Mule, I think your memory is just messin' with ya. Everything seemed bigger when we were younger. :)
 
LOL I agree with that when I think back to snow fall amounts as a kid & toddler, but 1978-79 I just had come out of a 5 year stint in Construction and over endulging in all the wicked things & ways! I was large! young man, but not Obese. LOL

Joe H. put Atcheson sheaths made during 68. They had no Buck on the snap and no model # on the back. I have one of these in my collection with a early 105 which is stamped Buck*. A different looking 105, I'll include a photo. Supposedly paired up correctly. So, by that we'd have to include them in 67. The sheaths were brought 'in house' in 69. So, your dates are close.

Thank you!

Why did Buck stop making the flap sheath? Expense? IMO, that was one their coolest "trademark" features.

Do you have a picture of all the different sheath next to each other or any one else... Just the sheath... :)

Would like to see that... :thumbup:
 
wow very nice! an lucky to be near their H.Q. to jump on these like that......estate sales here that would have a collection like this would not go cheap.

Look how straight that blade is on the last knife on the right....not much of a upward sweep at all.

Thanks for posting this photo ItsTooEarly....much appreciated. :thumbup:
