The Pathfinder Club - Members Only!

[TAH]

well......you are the founder.

weren't we supposed to have some sort of club meeting and old hunter was bringing donuts?

Yea, I lucked out this time. rje58 is the only member on record who admitted he actually read and agreed to the terms and conditions.

I think the only reason we were going to have a club meeting was for Old Hunter 's donuts.

maybe we should make it a weekend meeting and old hunter can do us some BBQ instead.....but none of that Carolina vinegar bbq...yuck.

I'm in NC, but I'm a red sauce BBQ guy. I grew up eating 'open pit' red sauce BBQ in Florida and SC.

 

[Old Hunter]

I'm sure your sins will be forgiven as you know not of what you speak. Let me cook you a pig and prepare it - I GU-RAN-TEE you will enjoy (or you have dead tastebuds)! OH

The secret is in the cooking (baste in the vinegar and spices as you cook the pig, you don't simply pour it on prior to eating!) Also in the chopping - not too fine, not too coarse - I'm chopping one of three pigs back in 2013 for my daughter's annual baseball league cookout. Two old ARNG buddies and I cooked three pigs - we had a PILE of BBQ! OH

Old Hunter Suddenly, the donuts don't sound so great. Pig, please!

we do lots of pig down here for bbq, no vinegar style. I'm willing to try the vinegar style Carolina again cause that pic looks tasty and cause you're doing it, Sir.

places I've eaten up there....I stick to my Yuck

can we still get donuts too just in case though?

Carolina style jelly donuts?

 

[jbmonkey]

Carolina style jelly donuts?

vinegar style? no sweet all sour.....yummm ......

I like plain cake donuts myself..but wouldn't turn down a blueberry donut.....who's taking the order again? you on the club refreshment board Tecate?

 

[Old Hunter]

A fried donut is the way! In eastern NC try Britts at Carolina Beach, Wilson Donut Shop in Wilson or Brownies in Washington. Your taste buds will thank me, but your waste line won’t. OH

 

[sextant]

I found a 3-Liner to match the Pro.

How would you date it? Didn't we have a dating chart? I only found the ones for 110/112.

 

[sextant]

Maybe 1972-1986 - according to the Buck website.

 

[TAH]

Good looking knife and sheath, sextant . That blade stamp, 4 Micarta spacers, and flap sheath = 1973-1980. 440C blade material.

 

[sextant]

Thank you, TAH . Very much appreciated.

I saw this custom 105 sheath on eBay and thought it looked pretty nice, as far as design and leather. It doesn't appear to have a welt, but the rivet placement would probably prevent the blade from cutting the stitches. What do y'all think?

The rivet placement might also tend to dull the blade.

O.B.

 

[tongueriver]

If I had a BUCK knife without a sheath I would look for an original. Just me. I don't like the OP sheath.

I'm not particularly fond of it. If your just looking for a beater or storage I guess it would be fine.

 

[CVamberbonehead]

Well, I have been using my 105 and I have to say that you all were right, it is pretty awesome. I am glad I bought mine.
Here are some pictures of my Buck 105 on a recent hike.

 

[TAH]

Just saw this on the bay. I didn't realize Case jumped on the Pathfinder bandwagon so early and blatantly in the mid-1960s. Looks like it even has the old style, heavy convex edge.
