Welcome, Don.  I really dig that bowie in your avatar -- & of course commend your use of duckduckgo!  Have a good time, look around, & everything else Lars said!  I doubt I could answer many questions about old knives, but I'm guessing there are a number of people here who could answer those questions.  Good to have you here!

Hi Don - welcome to iKC! We're glad you're here. 

If you haven't discovered them yet, we have 2 dedicated Buck knives groups (Buck Knives & Buck 110), and dozens of Buck stories, articles, blogs and photos. I know - why can't there be this many Bucks when I'm hunting...right? 

Regardless, feel free to explore join a group or two, or six, or however many suits your fancy - or just sit back and read a few blogs or articles on your favorite knife topics. We got'em all!

Regardless of what you do or when, enjoy the community -
