The Pathfinder Club - Members Only!

any idea the date range on the 105?

Due to the two line inverted stamp, it was made between 1968 to 1971. The year can be narrowed down a bit depending on the spacer material. Hard fiber = 1968. Micarta = 1969-1971. At least, this is what I have read.
 
Here are two more 105's that I dug out of the collection.
One old and one new.

Happy New Year to my fellow Pathfinder members! If you’re like me, the start of a new year can be a bit of a downer with the family holiday cheer over and going back to work or school, so I thought I’d start the new year off with another raffle as we wait for Old Hunter’s very generous, new Pathfinder Knife give-a-way when we achieve 105 members. Thanks Old Hunter! :thumbsup:

According to Joe Houser, the Pathfinder was introduced in 1947, so 2020 marks its 73rd year of continuous production! As remarkable as the 105 is at “finding paths”, I’m sure your knife could use a little help, so once we hit “73” members, I will be raffling off a new Marble’s Brass Pocket Compass!

Same rules as before. As soon as we have 73 club members, each member will be automatically assigned a number (1-73) that corresponds with your name placement on the alphabetized membership list. You do not get to pick your number and your assigned number is only eligible in the drawing if (and only if) you "Like" this post. The first eligible number that is selected by a random number generator wins the Marble’s compass pictured below! We're only 11 new members away from the raffle, so get out there and bring in a new member!

That's a cool compass.
I have one of the original ones made in Gladstone MI.
I wish I had more of their knives.
 
We haven't had a new member in awhile. At this pace, by the time we hit 73 members for the Marble's compass give-a-way, the compass might need to be re-calibrated. :D

Here's my older Marbles's compass. See how nice it looks with a 105 if you're the winner! :)

OK, so how do I become a member? I have quite a few (relatively speaking) BUCK knives.

Could you share/PM the places you found them? I would love to get one as my first 105.

A friend has one.
I have seen 2 sell on the bay in the last month or so...….. They're out there.


Those leather ones are always cool!
 

Welcome tongueriver! Glad you found us. Okay, I'll be the one to say it. Now that the LL Bean contract has expired, Buck needs to suck it up and permanently add stacked leather Pathfinders to their line. :)
