Does anyone have any photos comparing a Buck 500 and a 501. I have a 500 and thinking of a 501. Size comparison is what I am wondering about.

Any discussion about the difference or advantage over the other would be appreciated.
 
Here's an old picture off this very forum. Here's the entire thread if that will help.

Here are some pictures of the 500 series. My opinion is there is a significant difference between the 501 and the 500 in terms of thickness.



 
Well, hornet you got your photos. I'll tell them, thank you guys for giving the photos ask for. Much appreciated. DM
 
Yes, the Duke is a much larger folder. It holds a 3" blade and can be carried in a pocket but I prefer carrying it in a sheath. DM
 
Thanks for the info and pics, guys.
Sorry for the delayed response, I have been getting up early to turkey hunt before work, and I'm usually wore out by evening.

I will have to find a 501 locally that I can hold in hand and compare to my 500.
Thanks again
 
Mine too. I bought mine the day before the planes hit the world trade center. I sughted it in the next morning, when I got back in the truck and heard what was happening, I thought well I have 47 shells left.
