Happy Saturday !
Here’s a rare prototype/pre-production sample of a Buck 497 Ergo Hunter with Rosewood handle. While the production knives were made with Sandvik 12C27 Mod steel, the asterisk on this early sample indicates it was made with 420HC as a prototype. What a gorgeous knife!
The third picture below is a profile of the handle showing how it got its name Ergo Hunter.
