I actually bought a new Buck 110 last week to replace a lesser knife I somehow lost.
Really appreciated seeing this thread!!

I still have a 7 1/2" #120 that I got for Christmas in 1967. Very hard to sharpen, but a butcher friend puts a great edge on it. I think it's 440C @ 61+. It's about twice as long as I need but back then long blades were well received.

Interesting thread......had to dig out my three Bucks and do some research......
First one was my Dad's....Buck model #118 Personal Knife. Is not stamped with the model number, but has the upside down "Buck USA", which dates it between 1967-1972.
Second one was Dad's also.....Buck #432, which is a special run of 112's from a 1983 Goodyear Tire promotion, and has his initials stamped on it.
Third one is my two dot 110 from the early 70's I received as a present from the folks. This one has always been my #1 buck gutter.....

i was feeling guilty looking at this thread and went to the knife vault, and pulled out a 110 in its leather holster. One of the first presents my wife bought me after marriage back in the 70's. I locked it up years ago, having other knives and afraid of losing it. picards leather treatment on the leather, steel wool and oil on the brass and blade. still looks pretty much as it did all those years ago.

How about a 402 Akonua, walnut with S30V... New school meets old school... That's nice. I didn't know they made anything like that. Mine fall in the old school category. The Akonua and its big brother Kalinga are old school. The one MBoom posted is a redo of the original that came out in 72. Kalinga was out in 69. I prefer the originals but they are much more expensive than the redos. Look at those beautiful micarta scales on the Kalinga not to mention the Rosewood handles of the original Akonua. some collectors go after all the variations on handle material not to mention 1st year models. As well a pristine badass sheath.

Kalingas were very popular with Bikers in the 70's.

I have a nice micarta scaled Akonua I don’t need. It’s got some minor use marks but nothing gross though I don’t have the factory box to it. If someone wants it for their collection or to use then throw me a cash offer or trade me for a different belt knife as I prefer more drop and less point in my using knives.

I’ve had a buck vanguard 692 since high school. Good all around hunting and camp knife. I have fancier knives but that one is always in the pack or travel trailer.

back in the 70's friend was trying to crack the breast bone on a deer with a buck straight knife and a hammer, busting the blade. i remember he sent it back to buck, and they gave him a new one. always remembered that.

Here you go. I think they're about perfect but have not gotten any "yet".

I have broke two, both stockman folders, one on a deer another on a elk, one was my fault, the other was a freak accident. Sent both to Buck with a letter of explanation asking if they could be fixed. Both times they sent me a brand new knife. I have never had better customer service from any company. A buck is in my pocket as I write this.

A bunch of oldies in this photo. The Buck #120 is in its sheath at the top left of photo. They haven't made that style of sheath for a while.

I lost the sheath for my 120. Ordered a new one with the new design. I actually like it better. The knife rattled in the original one.
