I am trying to find out if a knife I owned made in maybe the 80's, but not sure, is still being produced. I thought it was the The General model, but after looking at the general made know I know this is not it. Hard to describe but it was the Most massive blade I have ever seen Buck make. I think of it as a fighting bowie/huge hunting knife combined. Wish I had kept mine.

Anyway, anyone have any thoughts on this?
 
Hi MHall52,

Take a look at this photo, it could be a 124 or maybe the biger bowie the 903.

Is it possible that it was one of the special editions Buck made with the 184 Buckmaster blade?

Buck 908
 
Now that I think about it more, I think it had a blood groove, with the Black Micarta handle. This blade was really thick, extremely beefy.

Blood groove and micarta handle, was it a Buck knife you had? :D
But earnestly, has Buck ever produced a knife with this combination?

I thought for sure it was the 124, until you mentioned the blood groove. None of the micarta handled knives have blood grooves. :confused: In fact, ONLY the 119 Special and 120 General have blood grooves.

We had our custom shop during the 80's but you werent going to pick up a custom for cheap.
We have a real mystery on our hands. :)
