Is this the one? It sold for $29.00!

Someone got a heck of a deal. Hope it was someone from the forum.

All things considered ie. duplicate shipment on the eBay order and LLBean discounts and Bean Bucks my average cost for 3 105 is $29. and change each. All brand new. I have no way to contact the eBay seller, they were removed as an eBay member shortly after I placed the order for whatever reason. I thought I would never get the knife which prompted me to LLBean

I saw that one, but it's actually a 118.

Both of those vintage knives look to be the 118 Personal. OH

The old one with the wood handle is a 105. Description says it has a 5 1/4" blade. It even has the slight hump in the blade in front of the guard.

I like to get the new blades working as soon as possible. While cutting up a rabbit is not the toughest job around (not like cutting thorns!), it is an easy way to see if a knife is sharp and nimble. The new 105 did a great job and felt like a surgeons scalpel.

Seems like this old Pathfinder was posted a few years ago, but I couldn't find it in the club "records". Anyway, it's worth seeing again or for the first time, if anyone missed it... :thumbsup:

Old Hunter · Dec 29, 2020

TAH, great series of photos on the vintage Buck 105, enjoying looking it over. OH

TAH · Dec 29, 2020

Thanks OH. This last one has a BIN price of $850!

Hi
I wish to seek membership in your club. The picture is of my new 105, after cutting up some "Falukorv", aka sausage from Falun, in the northern Swedish woods. I gave my friend a 119 and wanted something similar for myself. I am glad I choose the 105 for myself.
Regards
Erik

Welcome Hjalmar69! That's a great photo. The pine needles look like fireworks going off! Your location is making me wonder how many international members we have in our club. Thanks for posting and hope to see more photos of the Swedish woods. :thumbsup:

Got room for another member? Just received mine today in replacement for the one I had as a kid, which got lost deer hunting back in the 90's.

Plain black handle and except for the sheath design, it's everything I remembered!

Welcome Buck311! There's always room for another member. You didn't lose your knife, you gifted it to the lucky person who hopefully found it. :thumbsup:

Oh, and it's not a plain black handle. It's a durable, weather resistant, ultra cool, classic black handle.

Thanks for posting!

I love the black handles. I read that Phenolic resin is used to make high end billiard balls so it must be tuff!

Wonder if we could lobby Buck to make available the older flap sheaths?

hhmoore · Jan 15, 2021

I've got an older 105 tucked away - do I need to post a pic to join in the fun?

Nope, your word is good enough. :thumbsup:

Welcome hhmoore! The 105 has been around since 1947. How long has your knife been tucked away?

I took this photo a few years ago and found it again in my Imgur account. It's of my 105 and a book -- both gifts from my father in the mid 70s. The old photograph is from our first trip hunting down ghost towns in Colorado in 1978 -- the adventure of a lifetime to a 17 year-old kid. :thumbsup:

The 105 is on my belt in the photograph. I'm feeling a little nostalgic tonight, so I thought I would post it.

Great post. Kinda how I felt about the one I lost on the deer hunt. I'd had that knife since I was 11 or 12 years old and it accompanied me on many woods adventures.
