I am jealous! What a great trip. Memories of my own from my past came flooding in. Thanks for the great show!

Took my recently aquired 105 on a solo backpacking trip in the rocky's. Basically I just wandered way up a creek and lived off fish, bannock, and instant coffee for 4 days. Heres a couple pics of it with some nice Rocky Mountain Whitefish. For anyone not from the north-west, they are a different species from the usual lake whitefish, pretty much only occuring in cold flowing water, they've got white meat but a pretty "trouty" taste. Mighty fine eating!

Wow, great use of four days!

Wow, great use of four days!

Thanks! I'd kind of drifted away from that kind of thing, I live right in good hunting and fishing so much of my camping tends to be road trips with the family. For a while I did some backcountry trips for hunting, but now that my kids are hunting I dont do so much of that either. This year I found some extra time and its been great reminder that I need to make more of an effort to do these trips. Got one more planned, a 10 day canoe trip/ mule deer hunt in late Sept... will probably be taking the Pathfinder on that one too.

TAH I stated earlier that the 105 was my favorite Buck fixed blade which still remains. I’ve given away a handful of 105s’ to others as gifts. I am going to keep this one tho. Add me to the list

That's a pretty one and the pattern is one of my favorites, even for USING! I am still hoping to find a 105 (and a 118) with the buffalo horn handle, bison shield and chip flint blade.

Gorgeous. I love the wood and brass combination. I was looking through this thread last night and almost bumped it but didn’t have any new pictures. Thanks for bumping it.

I use them all. BOTM LE and the old stuff. It makes me smile when I bring them out

Regarding the fighting grade. I cannot speak from personal experience, and probably wouldn't if I could, but I know someone who can. This isn't practical tactical, and I am not trying to make claims, but I have a friend who was a Scout Sniper, and he carried a vintage 105 during our recent conflicts. His uncle had carried that same 105 in Vietnam. They both seemed to think that the 105 was a very effective knife.

The 105 certainly doesn't pop into my head immediately when I think of tacticlol mall ninja knives, but I felt like I should point out that I know of at least two people who would give the knife a good fighting grade. I hope to never be in a position to develop an opinion myself.

I mean, that's fair. I don't want to ever get poked by the pointy end of a 105.

This thread just made me realize that the 105 is one of the few standard Buck models I don't own and should buy one.

If I had to choose... I'd probably rather be on the pointy end of the average tacticool flipper/ auto than a 105. I feel like the 5" blade would go alot further towards inflicting major internal damage than mall-ninja styling. I'd want to be on the recieving end of the average butcher's knife even less tho.

I'm 'sticking' to the handle ends.

Welcome Generalist ! A terrific example of a very early 105! Looks like it just came off the line yesterday.

Needless to say, this is a beautiful knife, tongueriver. I had to come back for a second look.
