I’ve had my pathfinder for about 30 years and it still is one of my favorites for skinning and general knifey stuff! Hope I can be included in the club!
Just found this page. I'm a big 105 fan. Buck's most underrated knife. Don't have a big collection: a pristine pre-86 four spacer, a brass and cherry Dymalux/420HC, and a cocobolo/5160. I dunno why I haven't snagged a Heritage (cocobolo/D2) yet ... they're ridiculously cheap with the BCCI discount. I almost bought a stag recently, but it was expensive and when I asked for some better pictures I liked it a bit less. All-round superb knife, and (just my opinion here) a gorgeous, iconic shape.
I'm never lucky enough to find a "forgotten" knife. Whenever I find something, it's usually in the back of the frig and spoiled.I just realized I do have a 105.
Welcome a"board", Kels73!My first Pathfinder arrived this week. It's the S30V limited factory run. I couldn't be happier.

Just an all around good knife, very capable and versatile.So what is so special about the 105?
It seems to be. Honestly it seems like a refined, classier 119 Special. I think it would make for a good hunting/outdoors knife, but I suppose time will tell. Cant wait to take it fishing when it gets warmer outside.Just an all around good knife, very capable and versatile.![]()
So what is so special about the 105? Mine seems pretty great from the limited cutting I have done so far, nice blade with a great hollow grind.
Welcome CVamberbonehead! What's so special about the 105? You mentioned a few qualities, but read my original post for other reasons I think the 105 is so special. The 105 has been in continuous production since 1948 - longer than any other model in Buck's line. To me, that says a lot. Enjoy your knife and thanks for joining the Pathfinder Club!Honestly it seems like a refined, classier 119 Special. I think it would make for a good hunting/outdoors knife...

Warning: Membership in the Pathfinder 105 Club, that is supposedly 'free', has cost me a great deal of money, and resulted in the addition of many more knives - most of which are not 105s - to my collection.![]()
