Buck Machete...

[Mike Hudson]

Howdy all,
I would like to know more about this knife then I do now and thought it would start some nice conversation. This blade was not stamped so Chuck Buck was kind enough to sign it for me and give me a letter of authenticity. Jim Henson (Buck company historian 2003) told me about 80 blanks for these knives were made and over half have saw teeth on the back. Many were given as gifts and awards, the rest went to the U.S Navy, that's where this one came from (late 70's early 80's). Thank you.
