I bought this old Buck 105 sometime in the 1965/1975 year range. I didn't know anything about them, just wanted one to carry deer hunting. Someone was showing a 110 with the inverted "Buck" on it, so I thought I would put a photo up for this one. If anyone can shed light on a closer mfg date or othe info it will be appreciated.
Have a blessed day,

Re: Old Buck 105
The one line 'Buck' inverted stamp dates your knife between 1961-1967. It should also have red fiber spacers. (or they could have turned brown from age/use) Nevertheless, you have a nice old knife that appears to still have some life left to it.

The blade stamp of BUCK* indicates the year 1967.

Re: Old Buck 105
I have a 105 that was made somewhere in the same year range as yours. They sure are good quality knives. I also have a 118 I bought myself around 1982. The 100 Series Bucks don't get the respect they deserve.Ole Joe Clark wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 1:41 am I bought this old Buck 105 sometime in the 1965/1975 year range.

Re: Old Buck 105
Leon that’s a fine looking old Buck. I love old knives like that, in great shape but with just enough honest wear to have some stories.

Re: Old Buck 105
Thanks for the kind words. The old Buck reminds me of myself, not quite antique, but certainly "vintage", and it's shows too. I do remember that it was really hard to sharpen, but I didn't have all the good stones that I have now. Every so often, I touch it up on the hard Arkansas stone and a strop, even though it doesn't really need it.
Have a blessed day,
