Buck 639 but with phenolic handle

[PCL]

I have located a fixed blade knife that looks like the fieldmate 639 but it has the phenolic handle and the buck name is in script. The problem I have is I can't find the model #. Is it a 639 or something different?

Looks like thet did make a 639 B1. A 639 with the phenolic handle.

Thank You very much and you are exactly correct, it looks like it was made 1993,1994 from left over 184 blades.

Yes, PCL, thats correct. These knives have been made with 639 blades without saw teeth. There is an unknown number of knifes with phenolic handle and saw teeth out there, also some factory made specials like the one below. Joe Houser made some of them.

So is anybody from this forum the happy new owner of one of these as of this morning?

 

[MaxCast]

Heh, saw that this morning too.

 

[PCL]

Wasn't me. I lost the auction.

 

[Haebbie]

Not me too.

PCL - Am I not looking at the same one as everyone else? The one I found was a high priced buy it now which has since sold.
I already have one so it wasn't me.
