Seller says limited production of 750 knives. But there is no numbering on the blade. I understand that the knife was limited production but am I corect in assuming that it would be an overrun knife, a knife to celebrate the era but not as collectable as a serialized knife. Thanks Steven

These were a special run sold only through Smokey Mountain Knife Works, I have one bought from them. They only made 750, but they were not serial numbered. Now that the the supply has been sold out, they are showing up on ebay with the prices raised.

Here is the original link for them.

Thanks,
I am still trying to figure out how buck does things and what makes this more special than that. I thought this would have had to be numbered going on the fact that I have B110-SP99-0 which is the USA Flag blade cut out with "United We Stand" etched on the wood with no numbering and one with numbering B110-SP91-0. So making the SP91 limited to XXX pieces but the SP99 just limited to XXX numbers till they ran out of etched handles, blades or whatever.

OK I guess my new question is How do you know what knife is more collectable than the other? I have learned that Buck makes a lot of short run knives, How the heck do you keep track of them?

I did join the BCC to maybe get some more knowledge but if there are any web links or someone has an answer that will not take you a day to type in I would appreciate it. Thanks Again

Levine's 5th edition to knife collecting has a long list of "special" editions of Buck knives, the 4th edition is preferable, but hard to find and very expensive when you can. Buck makes so many special editions that it's almost impossible to track them!

Over in the Bernard Levine forum you might find more, and there are guys who post here that work for Buck that know WAAAAAYYY more than me.

Good luck one your new addiction.....hehe

Although it says this knife is sold out on the SMKW web site, I saw one in their display case this weekend at the original price of $39.99. Anyone interested could probably give them a call to get it pulled and shipped...
