Happy SPS
I didn't realize that the first nuclear sub was that early
I don't have a 121 or anything like it so I went with one of my favorites. The relatively obscure, yet quite handy, B274 ECCO.

Go Chiefs! Go Lions!

I'm being lazy. I don't have any pictures of my own for this one and am not feeling like digging it out. This is the seller's picture from 2019 when I got this:

I don’t have any scalers left just nib sheaths with receipts.

This 121 was a Heath Stone custom. I rehomed it from Matt Jannusch, another forum member years ago.
The 2005 blade with scaler was from the Klinkhammer series.

The 110 was quite popular with sub sailors back in the 70s! Used to see the Nautilus running around the New London area with some kind of weird special equipment installed. I think it was assigned to the Naval Underwater Systems Center at the time. One of my former NPS instructors was the engineer officer. (The Rickover Effect, How One Man Made a Difference -- a friend of mine bought this at a used book sale and sent it to me several years ago. I put it aside and only recently re-discovered it. Still haven't gotten around to reading it. ) (The 110 is a two-dot and as near as I can determine is from the first year of two-dot production, either a V5V4 or a slightly earlier Stinzel V1. Purchased from a hardware store in Groton, CT.)

I have the B&C 121 Guide. Kind of reminds me of a 105 with a trailing point, which is not a bad thing at all.

I traded a 121 many years ago that had a spoon inserted in the handle. It was a short factory run. This 112 is special to me since it was lost and then found years later..Joe made me this one.

 

[Uncle Slayton]

Happy Sunday to all! I don't have a 121 but will brag on my first Buck Custom, an elk 113 with s30v

I'll also brag on future bird dog who has been home with us for 8 days now. she's equal parts sweetie and demon.

 

[Old Hunter]

Uncle Slayton she looks impish and wonderful. OH

Would one of you gents be able to post a picture comparing spine thickness from early to recent examples? It is my understanding spine thickness has increased beginning with the transition to the "guide" model.

Pretty sure there were some discussions on this in the past. Even as the Fisherman there was some creep in blade thickness.

There’s only one knife to use to make venison chili for the church anniversary dinner this evening on 1/21!

I believe I've posted this before. The top three scalers all came with double keeper strap sheaths. I assume the BUCK dot one is not original and the other two are but no way to know for sure.

What is the year range and steel for tip up, 3 line, with 4 spacers, please? Flap over snap sheath.

I believe 1973-80 and steel is 440C. Mine has flap over sheath.

Since I don’t have a 121, I’ll show my 118.
