Hey bucklife301

Curious - how does Lucite feel in your hand compared to Phenolic? Is it more grippy?

 

[bucklife301]

I never noticed till you asked cause the lucite is to fancy for me to carry so I had to handle them both the lucite feels better in my hand because of the handle shape it’s a little thinner but it’s very slick probably because it was just polished.

Welcome Wildcat! What a beautiful early 80s Pathfinder in what appears to be mint condition. Outstanding! Thanks for posting.

Just received this nice stag one.

Great looking knife, wonderboy. Needless to say, a stag handle really takes the Pathfinder to the next level.

 

[TAH]

Saw this 105 and its beautiful, original sheath on eBay. I like using this club to give these old knives recognition and a platform to relive their glory days.

 

[TAH]

Some of you might remember I like old Buck ads that feature a Pathfinder and artwork. I thought I had found all of them, but I just discovered two more that I have never seen before. One even features a female.

Excited to add these to my current collection.

 

[TAH]

This evening, I was looking at these old ads and noticed they're all done by J. Dawson. I looked him up and discovered he's still active! He even lists Buck Knives in his client list.

[Ace Rimmer]

Fantastic, thanks for sharing the link! I really enjoyed looking through his work. Wish I could do things like that.

 

[Old Hunter]

Cool old ads, I remember them from Outdoor Life when I was a kid. Just posted this in the Buck 102 thread (talking about the Bass Pro SFO 100 series knives from a few years back). I think it belongs in this thread - a Buck 105 that I bought in 2014 at the BPS in Cary NC. I kept it NIB for several years but gave it to a good hunting buddy/customer about two years ago. OH

OH, I'm confused. Is that a knife or a piece of art?

 

[Old Hunter]

Gents, our Buck Pathfinder Club has fallen to page three of the Buck Forum! We need some activity - this picture was from a duck hunt on Currituck Sound in 2017 - was just getting ready to clean some ducks - posting to jump start our thread. I helped clean a deer last week with this same Buck 105, but it was late dark and cold so no picture taken - won't let that happen again. OH

 

[Old Hunter]

Does anyone know what the price of the Buck 105 was in 1976? I bought the one shown at the PX that fall, but lost the box years ago and cannot remember what it cost me. Thanks, OH

 

[Wildcat]

the 105 and I are headed to the deer lease today. hoping tomorrow it will be covered in venison parts.

The closest reference I have is on page 58 in "The Story of Buck Knives".

ETA: I just noticed in the top portion of the catalog that I did not photograph, it is dated "12-77".

 

[Old Hunter]

Thanks!

OH- The price of the 105 in 1976 according to the 1976 catalog posted in the bcci website was $18.
