Is your Buck Model 105 or Model 121? How old is it? They haven't used those flapped sheaths in years, but Fallkniven in Sweden has one very similar.

It's a Model 121. The Fisherman.

I've seen a couple 121s stolen by wives. Not even a SWAT team could recover them. 121s are made from the thinnest blade stock of all the 100 series Bucks so they make the best parers. Not being much of a Rambo 121s are my favorite Buck fixed blade.

But do you have the first one you ever bought?
I do!

I believe that would be Solinger (?) steel with serrated thumb piece? I carried one like that in Viet Nam in '68-'69. Any idea who made it, and when was the date of manufacture?

Your first knife probably came from one of the manufactures in Solingen which is a German city that has been world famous for sword and knife production since the middle ages.

I have a few, too. I gave a couple to my grandkids for birthdays and holidays the past two years and I gave my twin a new knife after I broke his first knife that I had. I still have my first knife, too. We called them Boy Scout knives but I am not sure why, having never been a Boy Scout.

That's just a few. I probably have a hundred. I need to take more pictures!

 

[ISCS Yoda]

I took more pictures. Actually, too many. I'll save a few.

ISCS Yoda,
I gave you a big like for the Case Pheasant! It is quite a contrast to the first couple of bayonets you posted.

Solingen is in the Ruhr district and has indeed been famous sincc at least the 1300's.

Well I do, had this for about 50 years. It's a Solingen which has dressed a number of deer. Yes, it is a little worn.

 

[Xfuzz]

Found this one under a deer stand in South Texas
last year or so.
The ranch had many undocumented workers
that passed thru each year.
Reakon "Juan" lost this one.

here is a few i hope

 

[eveled]

My first 2 knives. A Victorinox SAK from the 60's. Never seen another like it. It used to have a real bail. A Camillus Scout version of the model 72 whittler.

Why thank you K22fan!!! I actually have another Case Pheasant (correct name, you are right on!), "NIB", that I have not taken a picture of.

Speaking of first knives, Check this picture out:

If you count 4 in from the top you will see a white handled "Boy Scout knife". That's what we called it when I was a kid. I was never a Scout but somehow that name was attributed to that "camping" style, multi-tool of the 1950s. That white one IS my first knife. The black one (number 3 counting from the left) next to it is my twin brother's first knife. I am not sure how I wound up with it. A few years ago I used its corkscrew "blade" and broke it off so I literally bought a new one and gave it to the Twinskie. He couldn't believe it when I told him why.

I need to take pictures of my switchblades. There are two in that photo. One is obvious but one is a "peanut" and not so obvious. The peanut sits directly below the red switchblade.

...I kind of like Fluted Handle Daggers...

...this one isn't mine...but I wouldn't mind if it was...

 

[Birdgun]

I like knives and revolvers.

Thanks!

God bless,
