Since there was some interest and I didn't want to continue contaminating a different thread, thought I would post some pics here of the 2004 BCCI Honey Worm Grooved Bone Scales 110 with S30V clip blade and the 2004 tang stamp versus any Buck Custom stampings.
This was a fund raiser knife so no BCCI stampings. Has the standard Bos S30V on the back side.
This is the one that was advertised in the Fall 2004 newsletter as having NS bolsters. However many were shipped with brass bolsters.
In some of my trading I ended up with one each, brass and ns. Maybe LarryO will kick in and tell us how many of each were produced
These pics do not do either of these justice. And I still prefer the NS over the Brass. The NS one is one of two knives I managed to grab and both came in from with my lifer BCCI package. The brass one came in via a group buy that I made once and never associated the two till just recently when I was organizing boxes and saw these two were the same numbers.
I polished one side and left the other just to show the difference in brass and ns a little better.
I finally tracked these down in the BCCI stuff and says that 125 were made. Unfortunately, doesn't say how many were brass and how many were NS. But then it also calls them Honey Jigged Bone, where the 2004 BCCI newsletter calls them Honey Worm Grooved Bone.
Both the NS and Brass have the same cat numbers on the barcode. So that doesn't help tracking. The NS has a 10/01/04 date on the box, and the Brass has 12/08/04 on the box. Cat# is 33753 09900 on both boxes. B110-SP79-0 on both boxes.
I found the cat reference in the 2005 list instead of the 2004. And I am looking at the Fall 2004 newsletter.
Interesting that the pic in the newsletter appears to show the rear bolster grooved like the scales. Must have been a reflection because they aren't.
I suspect that the quantity stated in the BCCI doc is not accurate.
