Does anyone have pictures of the oldest 119 that you can find? I’ve searched but I can’t seem to find anything from before the 60s. I know they looked quite different because of the 119 set that buck had for awhile. Lucite handles and all of that. Are there any photos of really old ones like that? And with the sheath?

If you have any photos of reaaally old 119s please share them. I love photos of really old knives. Even other models are okay. Really old Bucks from before the 60s. Ads before the 60s and stuff like that. I just can’t find much and I’m really interested in learning more.
 
Here's one I remember posting in a 119 thread several years ago.

For some reason, at least on my computer, the large photo of this knife keeps disappearing. You can see it here in this thread: Link

Early 118...

1433-2.jpg


Very Rare Vintage 1950's model 118 Personal handmade by Al Buck in his garage-knife shop. The 4" blade has been used quite a bit but is still in very good condition. The handle is Ligum Vitae wood which was only used for a short period. The guard and but are aluminum. OAL: 8". The knife has been used quite a bit but is still in very good condition no sheath. I will include a letter from Joe Houser director of consumer relations Buck Collector Club Administrator. He states in the letter that the model 118 personal was so named by Hoyt Buck Al's dad because it was his favorite knife.

Great posts with great photos Tom, thanks. I remember some of those ads as a youngster going thorough Outdoor Life and Field and Stream magazines.
