Im new to the forum and have enjoyed browsing it. My question concerns a fixed blade knife I once owned called,Ibelieve,the "CAPER" model.Itraded mine off years ago and they no longer seem to be manufactured.Could someone tell me when these were made and if permissable under forum rules,what I should pay for an excellent example?Id also like to know the best reference book for the older Buck fixed blade knives.TIA

Welcome John,

The model you're asking about is the 116, caper, it has been discontinued. The best reference I know for Buck fixed blades is the most recent edition of Blade's Guide to Knives &Their Values. E-bay is a good source for current pricing guidelines.

The Buck Collectors Club is another source for info and of course this forum. Preston

Thanks PJSJR. EDIT:I wanted to add that I managed to reaquire the old Buck mentioned above.
