What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Grass in the backyard is thick and growing like the dickens. I'm gonna put the battery in the lawn tractor, fill it with gas and have a go at mowing the yard. Of course a doggy poop treasure hunt will have to happen first.

A typical spring day here in the City by the Bay! Nothing much on the agenda for today. First round of the Masters just might have to watch Tiger hobble around the course. If the PGA would let him use a cart they could bolster their sagging ratings and then some. In the meantime keeping me company with a nod to Thrifty Thursday Mr. Rodger’s lamb and another from across the Pond. Have a great day folks! 😀

Very old Buck 110 from a vintage show I attended...original owner inscribed his name and apparently, he took very good care of this old girl, very sharp and tight as a drum...cheers...

A beauty for sure! Fantastic Score. 😁👍
Have you been able to date it and/or determine the series and version numbers?
I'm not an expert, but I believe No dots next to "BUCK" on either side, and the two small cover pins makes it pre-1968, 🤔😊

EDIT:
If it can be "flicked" open, that makes it a '64 to '65/early '66 production.
I'm pretty sure it was in '66 that Buck changed the pivot geometry so they couldn't be flicked open anymore by a sharp shake of the wrist.

Thank you sir! You know, it's been awhile since I checked but, I believe this one falls somewhere in '68-'72-ish....I found another inverted text Buck with same characteristics that will go back to Buck for the spa and blade touch up and think I got that for about $5 because it looked rough from years of being around to heaven knows- but still very sound and will clean up. I have several cherries from 1 dots to recent and I just think they must be one of my faves...have about 15 different versions...then many 112s' too. The knife here can't be flicked open and is pretty firm on opening but smooth and snaps with authority-cheers!

And a '66 would be cool as it is my birth year but I don't chase them for that although I've ended up with some cool guns that were my birth year which I learned after the fact-cheers
 
Viewed Jeff's, Amir Fleschwund Amir Fleschwund HSB knife posted from a few days ago and it inspired me to pocket mine today. I carried it and the Kutmaster jack to the shop today as I finished up a scalloped eastern woodland Indian design osage bow I started two weeks ago, and a few more viburnum shoot shaft arrows. The knives come in handy for splitting wild turkey feathers for fletching and cutting strands to twist up a bow string. Shot some arrows then a few pics. ;)

I admire your craftsmanship Greg.👍🏻
 
Third ride out of the year and its much warmer,hooray. 😁

Grabbed my 100 year old Remington.

Went to a favourite cafe near Wantage which had sadly shut for ever.
It was a good one tables outside and outstanding views.

There was a herd of 40 Deer in the field which I stopped and watched for some time.
I also saw lots of cute lambs on the route.

Pulled over into the Triumph shop in Abingdon to avoid a woman in an Audi driving like a nutter,dont need the stress.
Found out there was a bike launch on so had a cup of tea and biscuit then watched the unveiling.

I miss my T301 Speed Triple it was something special from the race seried.
Tomorrow going to Banbury for fitted ear plugs and a scenic ride.
😁





Something nice is arriving tommorow. 😎
