You got it, Scott. Here's what Harold had to say about these at the time:
Oct. 2, 2003 Model 105s Made in Error (Wrong Blade)
I just received a call from Billy Bates, at Buck Knives, and I was informed they used current Stamped Blades rather than the Anvil stamped Blades on the 105. The error was caught before the Partial Serration was put in the blade. These will not be serial numbered or have my Logo on them. I should be able to buy them to lower the price, because of their error, so I will sell these at a great discount. Billy said it would be cost prohibitive to rebuild them so hopefully we can get you some great knives to give away as Christmas Presents this year. (They will be making the 105 the correct way but not likely to be ready by the 15th as scheduled).
I am negotiating a special price on these errors so they can be sold to only those who have bought the other models in my exclusive project. We do not want these to get out to the public or to be sold at the Buck Store so I am taking orders from those who may be interested. I want only those who are buying my series to have total control on who gets these 105 errors. I will be keeping some as gifts and had two requests for extras 105's so there will only be about 90 available. The first ones to express an interest will get them. You can have as many as you want so do not delay getting me an order.
Billy Bates is to get back with me on a price, hopefully today, so only those who reply, expressing an interest, will be informed about the exact costs for these errors. This is only a guess at this point but I hope your cost will be $90.00 or less for these errors. It just depends on how generous Buck Knives will be on this Mistake. All I need to do is cover my costs to get them here and then to you. Maybe this 105 Error will be a good thing for all of us in the long run. Most times the Screw up's bring more money than the correct ones.
. I only get to hunt on-line
