In an attempt to contribute something unique, here is a mini buck - Made in JSA. I guess they put serrations on them there...

jb4570 That 505 with the Eagle head inlay is a really unique knife. Can you tell us anymore about it? Who made it?

I think thats customized by Wild Bill Cody. Looks like his works.

A different breed of small Buck's, including my new Budgie.

Some 500s—505, 506, and 507

 

[gedlicks]

Mike, aka steelheadbully is correct. The 505 jb posted pictures of was customized by Ghostown Custom Knives. His work is very distinctive using stone and silver dollar inlays. His unique work generally commands a pretty good price.

 

[Haebbie]

One of the black has a serrated Buckcote blade.

These be the only mini Bucks I have/or find...

Preston, you don't "find" them.... you have to "mine" them.... dig deep!

 

[DeSotoSky]

Is there a person's name associated with Ghost Town Knives. I assume it is a business, still active?

I'm remembering one now.... a 110 in marble lid box and a motorcycle...
Anyone have one to show?

Good morning SPS'ers. I always enjoy seeing all the different Buck knives, thank you for your contributions and participation.

Interesting fact, there are 12 different models of Buck's little drop point all sharing the same 1-7/8" blade and locking system. 425, 505, 506, 507, 515, 524, 525, 526, 527, 529, 825, 826. These can be a collecting addiction all to themselves. As one other member here once said about his collection, he believes they reproduce in the dark of the closet, I think it had something to likening them to mushrooms. I must have a couple hundred of the little buggers and I've seen a few here today I don't have.

Haebbie really does have quite the collection. What is even more remarkable is I know it would have taken hours and hours to take them out of their boxes and lay them out for a photo shoot. I'm not sure I even have enough open horizontal space in my "full" home to lay them out. I have not been successful in retirement downsizing

Downsizing is not working here either. We have a rule that if you get rid of anything, you have to make a copy of it.

Roger, as in digging deeper into the pocket?
I've not been interested in the mini Bucks for whatever reason. I carried the 505 as a teacher with the politically correct movement gained leverage, but, only for a couple of years before retiring in 2001. Remembering when I carried my 110 in the classroom without a thought.

Preston - I graduated in 1979 in a small town. I trapped when I was in high school and only went to school from 11:30 - 3:15 my junior and senior years and trapped from 6am until I had to go to school.
I drove a 1972 Chevrolet 4x4 pickup with a gun rack in the back window where I kept my 22 rifle and a 12 gauge shotgun. My senior year I was called into the office and was told that there was some talk
where a student mentioned steeling my guns. The principal than asked me to either not bring them to school which I went from my trapline straight to school so that was not really possible. He than
suggested I bring the guns into the back of the office every morning and picked them up when I would leave after school. Every morning I would carry my guns by the ladies in the office saying good morning to them
all and setting my guns in the corner of the back room. Than doing the same at the end of school every day and walking out with my guns. Could you imagine that being acceptable today. My have times changed.

This little 525 is my favorite of my little knives. In the early 60's my Dad was in the Coast Guard and was the lighthouse keeper at the Cape Meares Lighthouse here on the Oregon Coast. I was born while living there.
We than bounced around from the West Coast to the East Coast a couple times until my father retired after 20 years and we settled down in a small Oregon town.
It was a great life with fantastic parents, an older brother and sister and 1 younger brother. We all still live within a few miles from each other.

I also added a picture to of a drawer of little knives in boxes for you imagination to run wild. Some have multiple knives in them up to over 20 and many more that are not in that drawer.
