The Buck 100 Series Appreciation/Photo Thread

estate sales here that would have a collection like this would not go cheap. Answer: The reason is the ANTIQUES ROAD SHOW has been a huge hit here In Masachusetts since its inception. Nothing here is cheap...LOL back in the day when I use go digging for model T's an A's and the hardware like lamps in the mid 60's late 60's you could get good deals with a little but of sweat & labor of the owners who had them on their property just rusting...but now forget about.
 
thanks again David, about the order of things... :thumbup:

*The 121's were made withred hard fiber spacers, maroon micarta spacer and black phelonic spacers. With the last one the number was changed. Not 2+2. Instead it was 2 in the front and one in the rear. Then one in the front and one in the rear. DM (I hope I stated that right)
 
Wow--this is an awesome thread! Wish that I had more to add, but here's my humble 105 collection. The top one was my Dad's, the bottom one I grabbed just because. I should get some pix of it since it's return from the spa--looks just like new!

Thank you gents sooo much for all these great photos. Oregon, great outdoor shots. Setting the standard. HK, that's a early 110 Skinner paired with maybe a 114. That is in my eye the perfect Skinner. I wish Buck had camped there. Fantastic collection. I think these are some of yours as well. DM

Thanks mule. Theres an interesting story about the 116. But i cant remember it well. I believe a well known guide used a 118 personal for dressing game but didnt suit him for caping so he modified the tip to make it work and then consulted buck to build them that way and they did. Or something like that.
 
I liked the 110 Skinner so much I took a 3 line 103 and modified it toward the 110. Here's a photo with both knives. Enjoy, DM
 
Ok, gents, Oregon is continually doing this. So, I thought I would. Leesa, took this photo only 3 days ago. In it is a large snake (over 5' long) that was after our hatchling Quail. DM

The man's name is Les Bowman, a famous guide. He liked the 118 and after snapping one or sharpening one down he ground out the remainder into a caper. Liked it and sent it in to Buck. This proto later became the 116 Caper. DM
 
I had seen one of these back in the day...One of my Uncle's NAVY buddies ~NEMO~ BUCK 122 This ain't for going after no clown fish....LOL


RARE EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL SHEATH....





#1 word ~SWEET~




I just had to add this group shot in sheaths.....how cool is that! The only thing cooler would be if these were Model 184's BUCKMASTERS SHEATHED....#2 Knives I would love to own.

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

I think this question was overlooked. Does anyone know the answer?
 
Personally I like them, but they also can be a hinderence for the fast draw...LOL or get caught up on things, especially bushwacking off the main hiking trails. But not really a BIG DEAL.
I like them for one reason its keep the knife safe from the elements and protects the butt end of the knife depending which model knife & how you put in.
 
I am very impressed with the number of knives and the fantastic photos. ITE very nice collection in your photos. Dave M. thanks for posting the 110 Skinner, I didn't even know there was one. I know reviewing the old catalogs will fill the knowledge out but there is only so much time

Older photo of my 2 line collection, I see it is missing some

Question, when Buck started the 122/ 124 did they both use SS for the trim rather then Aluminum?

From other conversations here Buck did use SS at first on the 122/124 and then went to aluminum but the exact time frame I am not for sure on.
