Buck 110 Lite

I picked up a NIB Buck 110 Lite w/blaze orange handle today, can anyone give me an idea when they were made/discontinued and the value? Thanks

Jake,
It sounds like you have the model 426OR, cat.#1882, the Bucklite III. We made about 17,000 of these from 1990 to 1996. In 2000 a batch of about 800 went out, probably a special run or special make up. The 426 had a MSRP of $35.00. I would say that it is still worth about that if it is in mint condition with the box and paperwork.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Joe, I picked it up NIB on E bay for less than that, so I'm well pleased. It makes a nice contrast in my 110 display.

My first real pocket knife was a Bucklite(black handle, 3" blade). I still have it and use it occasionally. It's well over 10 years old now and still in good shape except for some nicks on the handle from dropping on concrete.

K.,
Glad to hear the knife is still in commission. That has always been a popular knife. One of my favorites if my backpack is loaded down.

Joe, the box for mine has an Edge 2000 sticker, so I guess its one of the 800 produced in 2000. Thanks for the info.
