The Barlow information was great but thanks also for mentioning Tom and Huck. Those are two of my favorite books and the reason i got into collecting Barlows in the first place.

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment . I inherited a late 1970s Cadet. I'm sure you'll find it a useful addition to your collection. As of this transmission the Cadet is still produced at Buck's facility in Post Falls ID. It and the Stockman are the only remaining domestically made of the 300 family of slip joints. I wish Buck would return to the earlier flat ground blades they used on the Cadet and Muskrat you mention. There are a number of books and on line sites that can help you track down the dates and manufacturers of your Bucks. Also on the Buck factory web site the is some general information . I must agree with your opinion on Buc products, I have a Ranger Drop Point on my belt while I'm responding to your comment.

I just bought an 80s cadet on eBay, waiting to get my hands on it. I have a buck 313 muskrat, with the black delrin handles and from what I understand, it was made by camillus. It is literally the exact same knife as the Remington 9506, which camillys also made. But I don’t know if camillus made other buck knives, the non hollow ground knives pre 2006, with the black delrin, look like they could have been made by camillus. Especially from the blade swedge on the clip point blade, on one side like camillus used to do. Either way, USA bucks are great knives in my opinion.

For example our chief camera and editing tech got married .And others of us had sundry changes of circumstance. After the dust settles we genuinely hope to restart the channel.

I own 3 Slim Line Mini Trappers in Yellow and all are far from being in Good condition.The blades are badly worn on 2 of them and the other one has a great blade but it appears someone ran over the handles and cracked them very badly.I paid $10 for it because the blade is very good.I’m going to see if CASE will replace them for me and if so for how much? All Three are Bare Heads.I don’t like Yellow and wish they were all RED.I believe I was given the other two since I would not have purchased them in the condition they are in.

you forgot the frontier forge knives i got a paring knife and a old hickory butcher knife i use mine for camping i popped the handles scale off mine and opxyed them back on and put boiled linseed oil on them never had a handle issue with my old hickory again iv sharpened mine so much it has new edge lmao there all great knives Shapleigh Hardware Company opened for business in St. Louis in 1843. This was done to take advantage of the westward migration. It was a highly successful enterprise that went through several name changes over the years. I do not know when they started marketing the Old Hickory line. The way I understand it, it is much like the hardware store brand axes. They were made by someone else. You will find the knives marked with just the 1843 date or the two dates like yours. You will also find two or three rivet versions. The Old Hickory name has gone through several hands. John Primble made Old Hickory knives as well. I do not know who was first. The 1843 date is not when the manufacture of these knives began. It is when Shapleigh opened in St Louis. I have heard that the Old Hickory name began in the 1890's, but for the Ontario Knife Company it began in 1923.

I am on the fence between a 105 and 102 for hunting and camp cooking. If you dont mind me asking, what do you like about the 105 over the 102?
@thebigfellar71786 ай бұрын
I have several buck knives 119,120,112, etc. Great knives. But their downfall is they are hell to sharpen on a stone, unless you just like sitting and doing sharpening forever. A guy showed me a Rada sharpener. And it takes some steel off at first on a buck, but after that quick and easy. In my humble opinion Case makes a much better knife than buck. Easier to sharpen and easier in the field. I carried a Boker 4 inch fixed and a case trapper when hunting and never looked back. Knives are a tool though. Everyone has a preference. Peace brother.

I have a 1935 99R and a first year 250-3000 take down in this chambering and I load for it. I took 2 does 2 seasons ago back to back on rifle opener with the 35. The larger of the 2 looked at me, walked about 25 feet, and dropped. The smaller of the 2 flipped over on its back, kicked 3 times, and stopped moving. Upon gutting them, I found that there were small holes in and out with a very small blood ring on the exit wound. No blood trail to speak of. None needed. The hydrostatic shock of the 87 grain pill moving out at 3,045 fps made pulp of the vitals. This quarter bore kills way better than it gets credit for. Thank you for this.

I think 420 is highly misunderstood. In Bucks, case, we have 420HC and I suspect whoever you are referring to does not understand the differences in steels. You are correct on the temper and heat treatment. I well say that the 102 is an excellent camping/ hunting knife with a realistic size on a person's belt. Buck has a PRO line with a better steel and micarta handle but price point indicates that you can buy two maybe even 3 ordinary 102's for one of the Pro line. I will also point out that people who bash the 420HC and sharpness usually have zero clue on how to sharpen a knife.

I carry a old hickory in a sheath I made from nylon webbing ! Also a small round file ! The file enables me to sharpen it in a matter of seconds. It will not shave but will make you bleed. With a file and a Old Hickory you could cut a car tire ! This might be thought of as knife abuse, Still it a fact ! If you want to cut something now ! Use a file to sharpen your old hickory !

0-1 blade maintenance after cleaning game: 1) wash with hot soapy water 2) dry 3) oil 4) if blade is tarnished use metal polish to remove. This keeps my 0-1 Randalls looking new. Best blade sharpener I’ve used is a diamond stone by DMT/dia-sharp. I have a coarse, fine, and extra fine.

Washing with hot water also helps remove game fat from the blade.

Beautiful round. I know several folks that deer hunt with it. Zero issues. Ranges usually under 100 yds, 100 grain bullets in the instances that I know of but I don't know all of them. Many big whitetails dropped, no losses. Of course, my friends and family are all good shooters.

Any buck knife is a great knife for anyone ! The BOSS Heat treat makes 420 a fantastic steel I’ve quite literally shaved with two buck knives sporting that “ cheap “ 420 steel several times The Buck isn’t my “go to knife “for every occasion , but I’m wearing a 110 now , I wore one yesterday , and I imagine I’ll be wearing one tomorrow . North Carolina has a silly law about carrying a fixed blade concealed Or I’d be carrying a light fixed blade Buck . And no. I’m not a Buck fan boy , depending on where I’m going and what I’m doing , I’ve been known to carry Gerber , Mora’s , Case , K Bar , Green River , and an old (60 years ), “ Old Timer “ in carbon steel . Unfortunately , the Old Timer, like the Buck 110 is heavy as a brick but MERCY what an edge that thing will take !!! ( another great knife to shave with . Takes an act of congress to shave a three month growth of beard with a conventional razor , old timer says “ hold my beer” 😜
