Buck 102 Woodsman
Recently, I was able to acquire this Buck 102 Woodsman. It's in excellent shape, including the original sheath. Been looking for a long time and I finally found this one. (Click on images to supersize).

Re: Buck 102 Woodsman
Very nice, read the stamp tip down (circa 1972) using 440C blade steel (my favorite). That was Buck Knife Companies “Bird & Trout” knife - however they never used that label, preferring Woodsman. Great old piece in fine shape! OH

Re: Buck 102 Woodsman
It is my understanding that this tang stamp would signify a blanket "Pre-86". Is there a way to tell what year this particular knife was made? That would be very interesting to know. I know you have some very old 100 Series Bucks that are gorgeous!!!Old Hunter wrote:Very nice, read the stamp tip down (circa 1972)

Old Hunter gave you the answer above... 1972.
3-lines inverted is unique to that year.

Re: Buck 102 Woodsman
That is a great knife. The previous posters used such great words to describe it. I think 'SERIOUSLY Dandy' describes it best. Congrats.
Re: Buck 102 Woodsman
Mike that's a classic. It's hard to beat a Buck Woodsman regardless of when it was made.

Re: Buck 102 Woodsman
Thank you very much. I wasn't aware that the "inverted" part had anything to do with it. That's great news. The seller had two of these. One had the normal tang stamp, but this one had the inverted. Glad I bought this one instead. Thanks again!!OleBuck wrote:Old Hunter gave you the answer above... 1972.
