Dang you !!! Now I have to find one in Stag. They've become quite a bit less affordable since I purchased mine.
Interesting that I came up with 2 oddballs, 975 without the shield and the 976 in Ironwood instead of Stag.

edit: I just noticed, my 976 guard is curved, yours is straight like the 975... ???
I'm beginning to wonder if mine is actually a buildout from an overrun of blades.
Niether of mine came with the listed Walnut boxes. I missed out all around. :(

It could be something the from the custom shop also, as it was in operation when these were made! Very cool find. James showed his and most of these have no to little bark as they were sanded to fit the handle shape of the 976.

Here is the only other 976 I have, HD theme

Thank you Roger for another Sunday Picture Show and also to all who post photos and comment.
No daggers in my accumulation. I do have this wonderful David Yellowhorse 192 to show...

Preston, the Yellowhorse chip flinted 112's and 192's seemed to have been given their own model numbers. 109 and 108 respectively.
You can see that looking in the early-mid-90's Buck catalogs. If that held true over time your knife would be a "108".
 
Thank you Roger for the History lesson and the Sunday Picture Show. Vanadium Carbide is an additive to blade steels that has an HRC (Hardness Rockwell C scale) of about 82. When added to matrices of Iron/Carbon steels, it acts like stones in cement which increase the wear resistance. Common abrasives like Al2O3 and SiC do not reshape it. Cubic Boron Nitride and Diamond abrasives do. Generally speaking, when more VC is added to a blade, the number of cuts in a test material increases. Here are some knives and charts which highlight wear resistance. Some users are more interested in toughness or ease of sharpening. Options are good.View attachment 1920769View attachment 1920767View attachment 1920768

"The Apaches of the American Southwest were known for their endurance and strength in living on this difficult and harsh, arid land. As fierce warriors who fought with guerrilla type tactics in battle, they were unsurpassed at silently overcoming their enemy. With stealth and cunning these warriors ran across the desert floor from one hidden cover to another like ghosts." - Bill Nebeker, Western bronze sculpture artist, Prescott, AZ

Right, thanks. Slipped my mind...as things seem to do.
 
Spent much of yesterday on the water, New River (Onslow County NC) and the ICW in Onslow and Carteret Counties). I had this Buck 345 with me, clipped into my trunks - just in case of an emergency. The only emergency ended up being the sour cream tubes (HEAVY plastic) at the Riverview Cafe in Sneads Ferry. Always good to have a Buck Knife! OH
