I ask for your thoughts, power and offerings to the knife gods. My cherished GEC 83 lockback has been MIA since April Extensive searches have yet to reveal anything, it was taken to the country house and since then disappeared, SOS.

Have you searched the pile(s) of raked leaves?
What about the auto's seat slides, transmission hump side, and next to the engine control modual (computer)? (generally under the front passenger seat.)

EDIT:
Also the refrigerator, freezer(s), cat's nest, (front load) washing machine door seal, dissassemble the sofa/hide-a-bed or murphy bed, or futon(s), and recliner(s), and emptying the "junk"/storage/pack-rat drawer(s)" can sometimes yeld good search results.

When in the expedited box truck I found a knife I was missing in the mini fridge freeze more than once ... strange and/or odd. ... I never used the mini fridge's freezer.
The truck poltergeist must have put it in there.
(I was a solo driver; no co-driver to mess with my "mind".)

Buck (arguably) making the best lockbacks since 1963.

True or "Nahhhh"?
"Puma lockbacks are 'smoother' than the Buck 110."

A rumor and/or urban legend that was going around when I was in high school, (1970-1974), when pert much "every guy" in the school had a 110 on his belt. Includes school admin. and the he teachers, regardless of subject they teached; not just the shop teachers.

Her admin., teachers, and students might have had a 110 in their purses keeping their sheathed paring knives and/or (1095 Old Hickory or Russell Green River Works) 7 inch butcher knives company.

I knew of 1 guy who carried a Puma ... I don't know which model ... it was about the same size as the 110, and equipped with the same green covers as the knife in your picture.

Thank you very much for telling us what happened at that time.
As for the difference between the Puma and the Buck 110, I can't say anything because unfortunately I don't have any Buck!!

Puma is better. I bought mine in the 80s at a cutlery store and had the opportunity to compare Puma to Buck. It took several trips to decide The Puma had better action, thinner blade, rounded spine, sweeter tip and just sexier. It was more expensive and the sheath was extra. Still have and use it.

Here is an old classic. My brother gave me this for Christmas at some time in the mid eighties. I used to carry it alot, but havent carried or used it in years. It does show some battle scars though. Some great steel in this one

Does this count as traditional?

It pains me that your Stag 83 is missing my friend . Great Stag on your's and it is a great little knife to have and use . Maybe there will be a Christmas Miracle happen ?

Merry Christmas none the less to you Will
