The Pathfinder Club - Members Only!

I've had many 105's over the past 40 years and still have a couple, one of my favorite blades. Would you be so kind to sign me up for the club ?
Thanks.............sd550
I sure will! Welcome to the Pathfinder Club and becoming the 105th member, sd550! Over 40 years of 105 ownership is a testament to the Pathfinder's enduring design. Feel free to post a photo of your knives, if you want. Love to see them! :)

Members: 105 😀👏👍‼️🎉🥳🇺🇸
New members needed for Old Hunter's Pathfinder Knife GAW ("Like" post #409 on page 21 to enter): 0
 
Well, it took nearly 3 years to reach our membership goal of 105 members, but we did it! Thanks to everyone who posted and contributed to this great thread! Pathfinder Knife GAW is next. Same rules as before. Each member will be automatically assigned a number (1-105) that corresponds with your name placement on the alphabetized membership list. You do not get to pick your number and your assigned number is only eligible in the drawing if (and only if) you "Like" post #409 on page 21. The first eligible number that is selected by a random number generator wins a new, standard configuration, Buck 105 Pathfinder! This GAW is made possible through the generosity of Old Hunter! Many thanks to Bruce for his support of our club and the Buck Forum. 👍

Good luck to everyone! Drawing will take place tomorrow at High Noon. :)

should I say there's 2 listed on the bay right now, with 8 watchers?

nah.... ;-)
 
I have a 1960s model at home.... Most of us never thought much of having a "fighting" knife, as we were either issued a bayonet or a Ka-Bar style knife- if I had to fight that close without a rifle or pistol I would probably choose an entrenching tool. The Pathfinder is a handy size fixed blade one can use for a lot of chores which you can keep on your trouser belt, and not even think twice about it.

I have to look to see if it has a barrel nut or not. It has a flap sheath, an inverted "BUCK" without a USA or a model number, and the black handle is a little off-center. The SPA team at Buck told me that this was due to it being produced on old machinery.

I think it's pretty cool just as is, and I really like the 440C steel.

Welcome to the Pathfinder Club, koreamarine! Thank you for your thoughts on the 105 and for your service to our country! You have a very collectable and desirable early Pathfinder. Did you buy it new or pick it up along the way?

Consecutively. :)

also what if members try to sell their membership on the exchange like flippers?
There is no such thing as bad publicity. :)

did you the President call the board of our club have a meeting to discuss these problems yet?😁
The Board of Directors consists of all members. Calling a meeting to discuss these problems is a good idea. I'll send a memo to everyone to meet at your house on Thursday. If you could have dinner ready, that would be great. 😋

also am I 53..is the president and Hoyt 1 and 2. does the president and Hoyt get numbered by alphabetical order too, or?
Yes. :)

look just like a real club a member causing issues already......😆😆😆
Be careful, jb, or I'll promote you to President and make you deal with unruly members. 😜 😁 :)

Yep, you are #53 unless we have a new enrollment or a current member "Likes" post #409 between now and High Noon, which could shift your number. Oh, and I'm not responsible for involuntary spitting. 😜

BTW, my favorite part is you hosting dinner on Thursday. 😁

Congratulations Jeff of the North! Get me your info and I will ship. If I am not mistaken you live in Canada, so it may be best for me to order from a Canada based distributor and have it direct shipped? We’ll get it figured out. OH
