[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 117643, member: 3"] [b]Found a couple of \"Buck\" knives in my junk.[/b] I've been rooting around the house finding a lot of stuff I've had but subsequently "lost" in various drawers and boxes. Here are a couple of Buck knives I bought from a little Pawn Shop in Oceanside California in 1984-1985. The shop was owned by Harry Camphuysen and was a hangout for me, the gunsmith was a great guy as was Harry and the other fellas that worked and visited there. The first one is a Buck 184, it's the abrasive "sand" blasted model, bits of impurities in this process prompted a change to a different method in short order as I understand. There were a few of the prototypes around, some really large examples, machette like in size, but I didn't buy any of them. I bought three of these giving one to a medical doctor I was stationed with up in Oakland, CA and another to a retired Marine Warrant Officer for use as a survival knive on his son's light airplane.
