Can anyone help me ? I have an older knife from my grandpa , it’s a BUCK knife , with black handle. It’s a fixed blade maybe 5-6 inches ? I’ve seen similar buck knives online but the one I have has “V121” on the blade and the ones I’ve seen online say just “121” on the blade . Any idea what the difference is? Idk how to add photos ?
 
Probably not a V, at least not the letter V. That could be the date code. An arrow head pointed down means 1989.
I’m pretty sure it’s a Fisherman Filet knife, I can see ones online that say the 121 is from 1972-1986 but those only have the 121 on them no V.
 
Need pictures. The 121 was produced for much longer than 1972-86 and has changed over the years.
 
Well there you go. Preston (pjsjr) hit the nail on the head. The ones that just say 121 and nothing after it are the older versions / pre date code.
