Really, would you bet on a horse that had that rear. no way it would win the race and might not even finisho_Oo_Oo_O but a very cool piece of buck proto duction

I look at my knives like a racehorse, need to have a strong backend to make sure the front is doing what it's supposed to. The rear of that knife just falls short. That tiny brass strip in front of the lock bar:confused::oops::confused::oops:just doesn't seem right, so I can clearly see why that wasn't put into production, but like I said, a very neat example of the knifemaking process:cool::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Same reason no one really looks at a 916 and thinks, "that's great" unless it's the beefed up rear end version with a stacked leather handle:D

gotcha now. seems as if the hybrid is a thinner knife meant for thinness so backend not so important, but I see your point better now. as ya pointed out, buck didnt see it as a seller. I figured maybe it wasnt so much a visual or a feel/build to it more so a cost to build that didnt make sense. regardless it is a pretty neat piece of history.

thank you.:thumbsup:
 
Did you know 105 spelled backwards is 501? o_O duh. Well, I just realized that and also these are two of my favorite Buck knife models! What a coincidence! :)

Birthday coming up and a new Deluth trading store just opened down the street. My wife saw me checking out the council tool bushcraft axe. Just got finished linseed oil treatment and a leather wrap. Combined with the Buck Compadre.

I'll take some better pictures tomorrow in daylight but I just had to share tonight! I missed the Copper BCCI 112 and THAT brought me back into active collecting..My Brother David has been collecting customs by Joe for many years and asked Joe as a special favor to find a copper frame and make this Custom for me to display at the Blade Show this year...after a absence of 5 years since I went and displayed my rare odd 112's. After the Show at home many of my best and most valuable 112's went 'missing' and I was so bummed about I basically quit..So this 112 is really special to me and I'd like to say Thank You Mr Houser for taking the time to find a copper frame and make this very special 112 to take to Altanta this year. Some Bucks have special meaning to you and this is one of them..20190407_205346.jpg

Now that's an awesome 112. Clinton, I would be proud to own that one. Joe is pretty darn good at customizing knives these days. You really scored on that one. Thanks for sharing it with all of us
