Buck - 122 Nemo Diving Knife 1967 White Teflon - PRIVATE COLLECTION
KNIFE ACQUIRED FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION

* Commercial availability: Discontinued - rare collector's model
* Sharpening: Apparently original factory edge
* Marks on blade: Minimal surface marks consistent with age; blade in excellent overall condition
* Marks on handle: Minimal surface marks consistent with age and storage
* Box: Present, original period box, with stains, yellowing and normal signs of age
* Sheath: Present, original Buck Nemo synthetic diving sheath, complete with retaining straps
* Manuals, Certificates and Warranties: Original BUCK NEMO documentation with use and maintenance instructions included
* Inspected and Certified by our in-house laboratoryThe Buck 122 Nemo is one of the most fascinating and collectible knives from Buck's early production history and represents an important chapter in the development of the American brand. Introduced in 1967, the Nemo was specifically designed as a professional diving knife for divers requiring a strong, powerful and dependable tool for use in marine environments.
The Nemo design would subsequently give rise to the celebrated Buck 124 Frontiersman. During the earliest stages of production, the two models were essentially identical in terms of knife construction and were distinguished primarily by their equipment: the 122 Nemo was supplied with a dedicated synthetic diving sheath designed to be strapped to the leg, whereas the Frontiersman was marketed with a traditional leather sheath for outdoor use.
The example offered here belongs to one of the rarest and most desirable configurations within the Nemo/Frontiersman family: the early 1967 commercial production with white Teflon spacers. According to historical documentation from the Buck Collectors Club, the estimated production for this configuration was only 300-500 examples.
Its construction details are highly distinctive: a black phenolic handle, thin white Teflon spacers, a robust stainless-steel guard and the characteristic one-piece stainless-steel bird's-beak pommel, complete with a lanyard hole at the end.
The blade marking is also significant for dating the knife. The ricasso bears the simple two-line “BUCK / U.S.A.” stamp, without the 122 model number. Buck introduced systematic model-number markings only in later years, making this early configuration immediately recognizable to knowledgeable collectors.
The large plain-edge blade is made from 440C stainless steel, one of the reference steels used by Buck during this period and selected for its strong cutting performance, toughness and good corrosion resistance. Nevertheless, the Nemo's intended underwater use required particularly careful maintenance after exposure to salt water, something Buck specifically emphasized in the documentation originally supplied with the knife.
This example retains its rare original Buck Nemo diving sheath, made from rigid synthetic material and complete with adjustable straps for attachment to the diver's leg. The presence of the Nemo-specific sheath is particularly important, as it distinguishes this configuration from the contemporary Buck 124 Frontiersman.
The set also retains the original large two-piece ivory-colored Buck Knife box, typical of the earliest production period, and most importantly the rare original “BUCK NEMO” instruction sheet, in which Buck explained the characteristics of the steel and provided specific instructions for proper blade maintenance following use in water.
The knife is in excellent condition considering its age. The blade retains a very uniform satin finish and shows no evident corrosion; the handle, guard and pommel are likewise very well preserved. Only minor surface marks consistent with almost sixty years of storage and handling are visible.
The original sheath is complete and in excellent overall condition, with normal superficial signs of age. The box shows more evident staining, yellowing and storage marks, entirely consistent with its age. The original documentation is present and further enhances the historical importance and completeness of this set.
A 1967 Buck 122 Nemo with white Teflon spacers is already a highly significant piece in Buck history; finding one still accompanied by its original diving sheath, box and BUCK NEMO documentation makes this example particularly desirable for a collection dedicated to early Buck knives, American military and professional knives, or the history of diving knives.

Sobral Brothers / CAS Knives - 8" Andes Fighter Bowie San-Mai - PRIVATE COLLECTION - handmade knife
KNIFE WITHDRAWN FROM PRIVATE COLLECTION
* Origin: Withdrawn from a private collection, previously purchased
* Condition: Never used, never removed from its sheath, never displayed; as it is a carbon blade and has remained in its sheath for a long time, it has unfortunately developed small spots of oxidation on the blade, which can be easily removed with a potential re-sharpening. However, it is not possible to remove the oxidation present on the passivating oxidation of the hamon. The price at which it is offered takes into account these aesthetic details, which in no way compromise its potential practical use.
* Available on the market: unique piece, entirely handmade
* Sharpening: Factory
* Marks on blade: small spots of oxidation, some potentially removable (those on the edge and tip of the blade)
* Marks on handle: None
* Box: Sold with burgundy velvet case

* Checked and certified by our internal laboratoryThe SOG Recon Government S21 is an extremely rare variant of the Government model, produced between the 1990s and early 2000s, when SOG was among the world reference brands in outdoor and military cutlery. This version stands out for its dark blade finish.
Unlike the standard Government S13 in stainless steel, the Recon Government uses SK-5 carbon steel, required for the gun-blued treatment, not applicable to stainless steels. This makes it a technically different model.
Produced as an alternative variant of the series, today it is considered an extremely rare knife with almost no availability on the collector market.
Technology and materials
SK-5 steel blade with gun-blued finish that reduces reflections and protects the surface. Hardness 57-58 HRC for a good balance between strength and sharpenability. Black Kraton handle for a secure grip.
Solid construction with steel guard and pommel, consistent with the Government series for heavy-duty use.

The “Shop Built” line by Ansø of Denmark was created to offer Jens Ansø's original designs in a more accessible and reproducible form than his custom knives, which are traditionally produced in extremely limited quantities. All “Shop Built” models are designed by Jens Ansø in Denmark and made by his team of skilled craftsmen, who take care of every stage of production with great attention to detail.
This product range maintains the same design philosophy, build quality, and craftsmanship that have made Ansø's work famous, but with a more structured and sustainable production process, designed to satisfy a wider audience without compromising on high-quality materials and finishes.
The AROS model
The AROS is a compact and versatile folding knife, designed as a utility tool for everyday use (EDC). Designed by Jens Ansø, it stands out for its unique design and precision engineering, designed to offer superior performance in everyday activities: from opening packages to more controlled cutting and carving.
The AROS features an innovative integral monoblock frame on each side, incorporating pivot screws, button lock, clip, and lanyard hole in a single precision-machined piece. The two parts of the handle are securely joined with titanium screws on the back, ensuring strength and a clean line.
The 2.5-inch (64 mm) blade now features a hollow grind, a new feature that further improves cutting capabilities while maintaining a slim and elegant profile. The flipper tab is designed to ensure quick opening and, once open, also functions as finger protection. The careful shaping of the blade tang contributes to a comfortable and secure grip, confirming Ansø's focus on functionality and user experience.

Zero Tolerance - MUDD Folding Knife - ZT0500 - PRIVATE COLLECTION - knife
Knife withdrawn from private collection - Rare model no longer in production.
The Zero Tolerance 0500 model, also known as MUDD, was designed by Grant and Gavin Hawk. This knife is resistant to sand, dirt, and water thanks to the neoprene seals around the pivot and the lock.
The blade is coated in Tungsten DLC, approximately 9.2 cm long, and made of 154CM steel.
The handle is made of aluminum with textured G-10 grips, providing a solid grip.
This model was manufactured roughly between 2007 and 2009, and although the exact number of pieces produced is not known, estimates suggest a low quantity, probably between 1000 and 2500 units.

Biographical Note:
Bud Nealy is universally recognized as one of the best knifemakers in the world. He is also known as the inventor of the MCS (Multi Concealment Sheath) system that allows the knife to be placed securely in any type of position. And it is because of these two requirements that every day hundreds of his MCS systems are used by police officers, undercover agents, S.W.A.T. and R.A.I.D. members, U.S. embassy guards, Bodyguards and Air Rangers.BO-BNMCS-CP -
