I need to find a brass, phenolic with 5160. Copper and clad is out of stock. I have the 102, 103 and 119.
Speaking of Buck knives in the movies, this might be the only Pathfinder ever used in film. About a year ago, the 1970s "Land of the Lost" television show was playing on ME TV, so I watched few episodes to see if Spencer Milligan, the actor who played the dad, ever used the knife. Unfortunately, in the episodes that I watched, he didn't, but I'm convinced from the size and shape of the sheath, it was a Pathfinder.
Rethinking your post, that's actually an interesting question, since we have photographic evidence. He would be our first, and probably only, celebrity. Would his membership be listed under Spencer Milligan, the actor, or Rick Marshall, the character? Do we need a club vote?
This 105 was my father's knife. I inherited it after he passed away. As a kid, when we would go fishing, he would wear this knife and I would wear a Western Pathfinder. Fond memories indeed.

Saw this photo in an online Blade Magazine article about Buck. I didn't realize that Hoyt passed at the early age of 59. https://blademag.com/blog/first-family-knives
Count me in! Oh, by the way @TAH, would it be alright if I use the "Finding paths since 1947" logo you came up with in my signature here and on other various forms?
