Buck knife ID

Looking for some information on this knife. I believe it was sold as a set with a larger knife, but I’m not sure. Blade length is about 5 3/4”, micarta handles. Thanks for your time.

That would be one of the Empress kitchen knives. Seen in sets of 3 knives usually, but i believe they were available individually.

As stated, that's the Empress kitchen knife version of the Buck 107. I read somewhere that this kitchen knife was found to be a very good bird and trout knife, so Buck rebranded it as the 107 for field use. Usually, the 107s have black micarta handles, or wood handles with no bolster, as opposed to the reddish/brown micarta on the Empress knife.

His is definatley not the 107. The 107 was only like 8" overall. With his 5.75" blade, it's the middle knife of the set.

Your are correct! It is the middle sized knife. My mistake. I failed to see the dimensions he posted.

The model 200 Empress Trio cutlery set consisted of a 4" Paring, 6" Utility, and 9" Carving knife. The individual knives in the set did not have model numbers. The popular 4" Paring knife went on to a solo career and was given the 107 model number. As already said, your knife is the middle 6" Utility.

Its descendent lives on today in the Buck product line as the model 933 4" Paring knife. Also available as a serrated steak knife just like the original Windsor set.

Excellent gentleman, thank you! It gets used frequently in the kitchen, excellent Buck heat treat. Now off to find the two missing knives…. Or, if someone has the set they would sell for $70, that would be great too.
