A little color on a cold winter SPS. I love all the pictures and checking in throughout the day. Lots of great knives.

I decided to put a micrometer on my three Buck 121 fixed blade knives, this is what I found for blade thickness:
Buck 121, four spacers, tip down tang stamp - .0583" - what I call a fillet blade.
Buck 121, four spacers, tip up tang stamp - .0770" - much stiffer.
Buck 121, three spacers, three line tang stamp (tip up) - .0776"

I don't have a modern (date coded) Buck 121 Guide to measure - if one of you gents have both a Guide and a micrometer please add to this thread. I measured all three knives on the spine side of the blade, above the tang stamp, about 1/8" from the guard.

Ps measured a one line Buck 118, result was .1266"

I have a 121 Idaho, 2005, date stamp and it measures- .121". My mic measures to .001"...

DeSotoSky Yes, there was some discussion about spine thickness. This was the limited information I had found with a search.

Not a matching set but good enough for my collection. The 112 has been my church knife but had to bring the 110 to show off today.

I knew I had posted some info once upon a time, but had lost it. Glad you found it, I will copy it into my notes! Thank you. OH

Happy Sunday to all! I don't have a 121 but will brag on my first Buck Custom, an elk 113 with s30v

I'll also brag on future bird dog who has been home with us for 8 days now. she's equal parts sweetie and demon.

She is beautiful

Thanks for posting the measurements Bruce. I appreciate it.

I traded a 121 many years ago that had a spoon inserted in the handle. It was a short factory run.

Did you mean the model 129? (a 123 fillet with a spoon)
They were in the catalog for 3 or 4 years around 1990.
I think the serrated version was a little scarcer.
I always thought it was so you could eat a can of beans if you didn't catch any fish

I believe 1973-80 and steel is 440C. Mine has flap over sheath.

Thank you!

I have the same combo, and really like it! I think mine are even closer in grain coloring.
