That’s one you don’t see very often.

I think the 475 is a good design, but it didn't last very long.

I agree. If I remember correctly there was a rubber handle one too. I could be wrong but I vaguely remember buying one as a gift for either one of my kids or nephews. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Thank you again for the history lesson and the SPS. Since there are several 100 series knives going I’m going to post a favorite. I know I’ve posted this photo slit but it’s been awhile. I just like the photo and it reminds me of a fun trip either way one of my kids.Actually it was our last outing/hunting trip either my youngest daughter a few years ago.

Agreed.
I think the 475 would make for a great fixed blade edc.
The sheath design is also nice.

Your '69 124 is a great looking knife!
I like the roundness of the handle compared to the current 124.

New or old, plain or custom, user or safe queen, one or a collection, we love to see them all. This weekly tradition was started in 2010 by ItsTooEarly (Armand Hernandez) and Oregon (Steve Dunn). Help keep the tradition alive. Feel free to click that 'LIKE' but lets not let it replace discussing and complimenting each others knives. DeSotoSky (Roger Yost)

Don't think I've seen color case hardening on a buck knife before. Thanks for sharing, looks pretty sweet!

My thanks to Roger and everyone else who make every SPS what it is....awesome!
A lot of times I try to pick my favorite knife. But my efforts are futile. They're all my favorites.
Also...Uncle Leroy is the Buck Wizard.

The Ulu is actually pretty nice.
Cutting is different, but in a good way.

I like to keep track of Michigan history,
Here's one for today that's interesting.

The Kinross incident 1953.

Overview
When an unidentified radar blip is detected over Lake Superior in 1953, an Air Force pilot is dispatched in an F-89 Scorpion to intercept and disappears without a trace; no wreckage is ever found.

Despite being from Michigan I had never heard of this!
