Seems to be a bit of a mystery.

These stores appears to have them:

You could mail them and ask if they really do, seems to be for promotional purposes so one might not be able to buy only one.

I've talked to a lot of people about the Buck Navigator, including a sales representative from Buck Knives, but nobody seems to know what happened to this tool. After a very intense (and no doubt expensive!) advertising campaign, as near as I can tell NO tools were shipped to any distributors. Why not? I've sent a few emails to Buck, but no reply.
If you are not familiar with the Navigator, I've included some photos of one of mine. The most obvious feature is the carabiner, which is kind of cool. The tool itself is made of laminated plates of steel, like the Schrade Tough Tools.
(The other tool in the pictures is a standard Leatherman PST, for size comparison.)
Anyhow, I am left with Tsquare's original question: what happened to the Navigator?

Tsquare , jooliesews spotted a group of 6 of them on ebay from an individual . 2 in black , 2 in blue , 2 in pink . we went together and got all 6 and split them . They seem to be the navigator and they are labeled with the Buck logo but they are inscribed as being the Whitiker . We are speculating that the ones that we got are some prototypes .

I am familiar with the counterfeit knives (and other items) currently flooding into this country from overseas. However, I have reason to believe that these few Navigators we obtained were pre-production samples or prototypes from Buck. Why they never followed through and released these tools however, is still a mystery to me.

Interesting.
Thanks for the info guy g. I had not realized that Buck had made any statements regarding the Navigator.
