I have been looking at eBay offerings, and am trying to get an idea of which models have the most massive blades.
From 70's up til now, would the two biggest the 120 and the 124?
Thanks.
 
In the "traditional" line I think you're right.

However, there was the Intruder/"Pigsticker" version of the NightHawk which you may still find on line and the large versions made based on strider's designs. I have one of each of these and they are great beefy blades for the money! The Intruder was a special run though so may be a little hard to find.

I'm sure others more knowledgeable than I will chime in soon.
 
Welcome MT . Ohen, I think your right . There were some other large knives that came out of the custom shop but those are in very small numbers . DM
 
Not quite sure whether you mean the longest or the thickest or both.

Here are what I think are longest in order of length. From left to right are the 903 (quite beefy too), the 901 (Ribbon Cutting Scimitar--not beefy), the 651 (very beefy), the 916 (a little delicate), 120 (one my favorites delicate lines but beefy thick), and the 124 (another honker of a knife--very beefy).

With the exception of the 651, each comes in a variety of scales (handles) and blade finishes.

Depending on your needs or wants, you choose. Although there are longer blades, you could not go wrong with either the 124 or the 120. If you want a large beefy working blade the 651. If you want to be the biggest dog on the block the 903.

I second what Robert said above. There were some extra long 124's that the custom shop made and they maybe the longest of the big Buck's....who knows?
Here is a 909 Mountain Bowie with a 903

Here are some extra long 124s. You can see the comparison with the standard length Yellowhorse 124.




 
Man, with that long one you could stab tommorrow from today.......

I think the biggest Buck blade I've seen is the one they used to cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony at Post Falls. That thing was like a broad sword or something.

Dave, Yes it was a scimitar shape blade . While at the 20yr. reunion Chuck told us the story on that knife . Even about the man who sharpened it for that ceremony was quite a undertaking . But then it came up missing from Chucks office shortly before the 20yr. event and has not been retrieved .
So, we did not get to see it . DM

The video said it was made by WBC. I don't know if he did the sharpening or not.

Wow, that one was stolen too? They said that the original was stolen years ago and they had WBC build them a new one just for the ribbon cutting.
 
there are three sizes of the 124 blade
the std production
the supper long short sword some thing like 6 to 9 or more made
(this is a guess if any one knows please post )
then one that is in the middle and is the rarest
so far with only three know..
