I was digging around in my closet today and found my Buck Ecco. This knife was made in Japan and has Sekiden written on the handle as the handle of a sword. This was one of the knives I would leave in places I used to frequent so I would not have to pack one. It was my adventurer knife. It has a razor sharp hollow ground main blade and a wharncliffe/sheepfoot blade that is a bit more than half serrated. The liner locks (2) have strong detents so there is no worry about carrying it in my pocket.

This has been a great knife. I seem to remember that later models had some QC issues and so they were discontinued. But the F&F on this one is superior. The blade centering is perfect on both blades. The grinds and bevels are perfect. The edges are thin and this is a great slicer. The FRN is nicely done and attractive. The detents are strong and the lockup is at about 50% for both blades. There is no blade play in any direction that I can tell using my hands. Perfect.
I cannot remember the model number. Perhaps some of you can recall?
