Buck 400 information.....

[jbmonkey]

so I got a 400 recently in bg42, thanks Mike.

not much other web about it even here I didnt find much at all. anyone know the background or what the knife was designed for? its a thicker stock and comes across much larger than pics and measurements show.

I'll add pics later tonight. show yours please. like to lean more about these and see everyone's examples.

Looks like it was his design. Different knife but some of Chucks info about the CB400.

I love the 400. It is one of my favorite Bucks.
Here are the two that I own. The top one was done by Leroy and the second is from Buck.

great examples there, Sir. really nice ones.


so I learned it was designed by Chuck and for display/collecting mainly but could be a user. anyone use theirs?

So you grabbed it.
I had been eyeing it myself, but already had 2.
Nice knife especially considering the blade steel.
I always wanted to grab a 192 in BG42, then realized how similar the 192 is to the 400.
The 400 even fits nicely in the 192 sheath.
I planned to give this one a try on whitetails this year.
Sorta wish the handle was more rounded.
I believe yours does have a rounder handle.

View attachment 1448706 View attachment 1448707 View attachment 1448708 View attachment 1448709 Craig helped me out with both of these.
The Elk handled one was made up By Leroy to copy the Sambar Stag handled ones.
I chose Elk as Sambar has gotten pretty expensive, and Leroy did a nice job of picking elk slabs.
The 400CB display knives show up now and then, but not always.
Craig then sent it to Mike to make a sheath. Nice knife has gotta have a nice sheath.
Thanks Craig and Mike for making it happen.

They are nice knives.
Let me know JB if your not happy with yours.
I know of someone willing to give it a forever home.

Cool. I assumed it was always CJ that did the 400.

(there's that word again).

is that first 400 one next to 192, a mini version or just pic tricking me ?

nice ones. great sheath too. you use yours, Sir?

I only have the 2. They are both regular size.
I have used the back polished g10/ aluminum guard handled one a bit. Light use.
That thing is sharp.
