[Old Hunter]

CVamberbonehead very nice country you are hiking in (with a Buck Knife to match!)

TAH Case had at least three and maybe four in that series, each blade design named after a different tribe. They came in some very colorful boxes too. I remember that there was a Comanche for sure. I have one that was a later issue, the handle had been modified and merged into the standard line as another option and the looks had settled down - not so blatantly Buck Knives looking. OH

 

[TAH]

Old Hunter Thanks for the photo and information, Bruce. I agree, no Buck vibes on your knife above.

The one I posted, the Apache, flat out looks like a Pathfinder with a Case stamp. I found three knives like you described, but no Comanche.

Apache...




Cherokee...





Cheyenne...

I found three knives like you described, but no Comanche.

My wife could be right, my memory ain't what it used to be! OH

 

[Draleon]

Please let my 1st 105 serve as my official entry application! I’m loving the size.

Welcome aboard, Draleon! Thanks for joining the club. That's an impressive, great looking, first Pathfinder. Can't wait to see your second one.

Tah I am in, this is a new plain Jane . I do have a 105 story, in 1989 I had an 80's pathfinder with the flapover sheath , hair poppin sharp, my favorite knife, always in the glove box of my truck. I live south of Boston and we had a rash of
car break ins, of course they broke into my truck found the knife and used it to cut out my CB radio. In the process they cut off the tip of their finger which was left in the truck. End of story, never got knife back but Bucks are always famous for keeping the edge. This one was my replacement with the aftermarket sheath.

Thanks for this thread and for listening, Pete

Great story howiema!

 

[Pony_Hernandez]

Please count me in, gentlemen. The Buck 102 Pro was my first "smaller" fixed blade from Buck. Couldn't decide wether I should have the woodsman or the pathfinder first. The woodsman has won but soon after I had the 102 in my daily rotation for a few weeks I had to have the pathfinder also. And here it is:

I already used it for field dressing a roe buck and for fishing. What a sweet blade. I'm also a big fan of the basic version. Doesn't has to be something special all the time...

Welcome to the Pathfinder Club, howiema and Pony. Enjoyed both of your stories and your excellent photography! Nothing wrong with Plain Jane. She's been turning heads for decades.

Seems justice was served in this case; a thief loses a bit of his finger to the person he is victimizing. Old world justice, self-served! OH

 

[RLB0414]

Please count me is. This thread pushed me over the edge. Mine arrived yesterday. Nothing fancy but a quality knife. Fills the void in blade length between another brand and my 120.
Thanks
Rick

Welcome, Rick! Glad we could help spend your money. The 105 really is the perfect knife, but don't tell the rest of the 100 Series knives, especially that little snot nose 102. That little punk is always cutting things it shouldn't. It needs to stop showing off and stick to cleaning small game and fish.

Thanks. I have a 102 in my group as well.

Please count me in. About a month ago I got my first Buck fixed blade, and put it to work field dressing some broccoli. It's a handy knife, and I find myself reaching for it for a lot of basic kitchen work.

Welcome FranklinG! Not surprised your 105 is hanging out in the kitchen. In my original post grading the Pathfinder's performance, it scored an A+ in the food prep category. The only way to improve its kitchen performance is if it washed the dishes.

Here's something you don't see for sale very often. An Atcheson produced Pathfinder sheath circa 1967-'69 with no model number on the back and tooling lines on the unriveted belt loop - all in excellent condition. Incase you're lookin' for one, it's listed on a popular auction site.

 

[kyhunt]

Kitchen duty. I kind of forgot how much I like this knife until I pull it back out.

 

[tongueriver]

Fried green tomatoes and a great all-purpose knife.
