Thanks Roger for starting the SPS each and every week for us all to enjoy and thanks to all for coming here to share Buck Knives. Here are the 4 variations of the 121 Scalers. I have duplicates of some of these.
Besides the 121's all I have is a couple of the 639 Sawby's.

Hello All,

weather here in the U.K. is starting to really warm up, it’s great to start getting some outdoor photography & socialising with friends/family.

On July 26, 2007 Joe Houser posted the following...

And while we had a custom shop we did some blades for a company called Cedar Creek. I remember a large and small fillet knife and a bowie like knife which was called, I believe, a Stinger. The Cedar Creek knives had a great handle, it kind of wrapped around the top and bottom of your hand.
(source post #12 in this thread https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/buck-and-rigid.488562/#post-4777543)

In my collection of Buck fillets I have Iron Mountain Cedar Creek Fillets in several colors and blade lengths.



The knife below is called a STINGER, by the now defunct Iron Mountain Knife company, the handle is Ivory Micarta.
Iron Mountain is the same company is responsible for the Cedar Creek Fillet knife shown above.
(There is another unrelated Iron Mountain knives company.)
skylercstevens might verify but the sheath looks to be inthe style of the custom shop sheaths. This one is nice but some of the other
Stinger sheaths I have are cruder by comparison.
The Iron Mountain Knife Company is a really hard company to find out much information about, they were located in Borrego Springs, CA.
I have a number of these in my collection also, I would have liked to have a discussion with Joe Houser about what the real connection is but he is retired now.
There is also some connection with similar styled Beaver Knives, a partnership split perhaps?

I wish Mike Jannusch still played here. I recall he had a number of pre factory fillet knives.
He knew a little something about the Cedar Creek fillets also.

edit... I'll bet Dale Eichberg really has some doozies but he doesn't play here either.

I think Matt Jannusch new something about them, also.

Closests ive have to Filet knife is a Buck/Mr Crappie green bump board used as scales for a Houser Buck 110.View attachment 1577760View attachment 1577761View attachment 1577762View attachment 1577763View attachment 1577764

so that's what that handle is. I sorta wondered.

Here you go bertl ...The model 126 Alaskan Guide Fillet. TiN coated blade in S30V. Rosewood Dymondwood handle and full tang. No model number, just BUCK/USA. It has the tiniest date code I've ever seen just after the A, I had to use a magnifying glass... 2011. Would your's be a prototype or buildout? Buck did a reddish paperstone 186 Odyssey for WalMart once with a similar style crosshatch on the handle.

An Alaskan Guide filet and an AG Vanguard would be the 2 knives to hope for if you were a serious outdoorsman.
That would make a nice pair.

An AG 105 would be cool. just sayin.

Nice pics!
Cool knives too. But you probably knew that.....

The only stamp is "BUCK/USA" with a 2011 date code. Another difference is that it has two handle rivets, not three.

I think yours is a 123 BKSCA-C Lakemate with paperstone handles. A Cabelas exclusive. You'll find some photos online doing a google search.

I took a look and that's good enough for me. Thanks

dont know which version, but its dug out not a surface covering. sure machine done. its what I'd call a production Yellowhorse. I made up that name. not a limited edition. I imagine very limited to maybe no hand work done on it but don't know that. they are currently avaliable on his website.

I just dig on the Native American Indian Chiefs heads on it...and Ive come around to like the Yellowhorse families creativity and artwork in general.

One last set for today's show. I found this one for sale on line paid less than I would have from my dealer by a few centavos' (also never got any response from Buck on my January order, now canceled)

Serrations can be a pain. I usually use this little pocket diamond sharpener and then take the burr of the other side with a flat stone. It's sort of mindless and doesn't take too long.

I dont own one of those but should. great idear Bert. thank you.

I tend to use the edges of the sharpmaker ceramic to do it and knock off the burr with the flat side of the ceramic. I like your idear better.
