Here is one more for the show,

It is my first 212, I do love the handle on this knife. However, I'm not sure I like this model as the blade shape is kinda odd to my eye. Maybe its because it was mirror polished that changed (smoothed out) the grind lines. I had never had one in hand before this one.

I like the handle curvature on that one besides liking the materials and looks of it. I'd prefer the blade to be more centered in the handle, but I can see why it couldn't be due to the handle shape and angle of curve and smaller dimensions in the rear with the tang placement. regardless it a very beautiful piece, bet feels great in the hand.

Aurum Etchings of Garland Texas stopped doing business in 1989. The Chuck Buck 103 Skinner was the very last life they did for Buck and that run was incomplete so fewer were made than the serialization number. After that, the company helped Buck set up the same process in house and Buck continued do the gold etchings themselves. Coming full circle to your question, I do not know how long Buck continued to do it themselves. The original gold etchings done by Aurum are some of my favorites and I've acquired many over the years. The '80's were a sweet spot for Buck collecting.

The DB cooper story has been fascinating since I was a little kid. Thanks for bringing it up, I'm sure I'll be glued to my phone reading things about it wayyy to late tonight! Haha.

Beautiful show today thanks everyone.

Missed the photo deadline but that just means I have one for next week!
