Sorta like going to look at puppies.
You know before you get there you're coming home with one.
I live on this side of the country on purpose.
Lol.
I only have two Bucks. My newest acquisition is the 121 (1972-79) that arrived yesterday, and my 'newest' Buck in terms of age is the 1990 107. I was blown away to discover that the top one was discontinued - seems like a perfect knife for small to medium-sized fish.
I've always been a Schrade and Case guy, but these two are keepers. Now I'm looking at others in the fixed blade 100 series.

Yes you are correct. A 921 is approx 7.5", 923 approx 9" and the 925 approx 10-1/4". They very a little since they are hand made and ground.
For size comparison you can see all 3 in the left lower corner or right lower as well.
I absolutely love those Fisk knives they are amazing!!!!

Any of those are hard to come by.

Picked up a Kalinga Legacy from a Buck Dealer that still had them. It was on sale. This was from 2021 with S35V steel. My first and only Kalinga. Surprised about its heft. Very wicked looking knife.

Now I know who wanted it more than I did! However, I did come away with a like new in the box 122 stamped on the blade with black bucarta thick slab handles.

Ha! I can tell you it was not by that much more according to the bids
! I don’t remember seeing that 122. Please post some pictures of that bad boy! I have always found them to be fascinating knives.

Your winning bid was my 2nd max bid, you bid that amount first (nice score). Anyway, I see that another bidder bought a bunch of the knives from that auction and is making a killing on ebay (or trying too) at 2X to 3X what they cost them (Capitalism at its best). Here is the 122 I scored.Ha! I can tell you it was not by that much more according to the bids

I figured someone was going to try to do that.
That’s a great looking knife! I am going to keep
an eye out now.

This massive 'Empress Trio' carver arrived today. I've cleaned up the blade and it's ready to be sharpened. While doing googling to learn more about it I accidentally found another one on ebay Australia, so that one arrives ... someday 
. I'm looking forward to getting both of them ready, maybe making a sheath for one of them and giving it to my Daughter and her Husband as a Christmas gift.
This design looks really perfect for carving a goose, so it will happen.
