BUCK Saw info needed

It is a Buck hand saw!!! Made for cutting wood. What else is there to know, o yah, I forgot to mention both sides can cut, one for smaller branches, one for bigger
 
You have a firm grasp of the obvious. When made. Model number, if any, etc. I've never seen one before.
 
That may be the 154 SawBuck that was in the catalog from 1987-1999. I think the 755 Folding Saw first appeared in the catalog in 2002 through 2015.

This sounds like a good question for David.

Granted, I don't have it yet but, where would the model number be? The picture is too low quality to see it on the blade. Maybe Joe will chime in on it.
 
It is definitely a Buck model 154. Here is mine, my brother gave it to me many years ago (not sure how long I have owned it) - it is still NIB (it came in a white pasteboard box). OH

Ps. The model number is on the box label.

The SawBuck model 154 was new for 1987 and carried in the catalog thru 1999. It has a Kraton handle and a blade a little over 10" long with coarse teeth on one edge and fine on the other. If ever a blade needed a sheath liner this is it. The teeth are aggressive and offset. It is impossible to slide these saws in and out of the snug fitting sheaths without shreading leather. Going by catalog pictures, the full flap over sheath only appears in 1987. In 1988 and 1989 the saw comes with a black nylon sheath. I have never seen the nylon sheath but can understand it not being around long knowing how hard this saw is on the leather sheath. In 1990 the catalog shows us back with a leather sheath, this time with an open top and a keeper strap. The open top sheath is shown in the catalog until the end in 1999.

I dug mine out of the footlocker - here is a photo of my SawBuck with the box and packaging materials it came with. OH

Thanks Guys. Looks like I may have found a decent one. Funny thing was, i was looking for an older CASE knife and saw this with 1 minute left!:eek::D:D
 
Yes, guys. It's the 154 Saw Buck. Sky's is older with that sheath. The model name is a play on words. I have the 1989 model with the hole in the handle & blade. These were not made at Buck. They have the Swedish Sandvik steel. I have seen the first proto type of this model and it had a handle of micarta and no hole. They cut great. Thanks for the photos. DM

I looked in my catalogs and it shows the saw with a leather sheath in the 1989 catalog. This sheath has the strap not the flap closure. Interesting the 87 catalog photo shows the saw with the hole in the 'T' handle but not one at the end of the blade.? This Buck model does not have the model number on the saw. Only on the box. The coarse teeth are for wood and the finer teeth for bone. Does someone have one of these without a hole in the end of the blade? This is a very useful item to have at home, camp, in your travel vehicle, ect.. As it works cutting limbs quickly. I've used mine a lot, camping, cutting bone, trimming limbs around our house and during travels. Get 2, keep one in the vehicle and one at home. You'll find it useful. DM
 
Great tool; I think I bought mine 25+ years ago. Very handy for butchering big game, which is why I bought it. Fits nicely in a daypack.
 
I just picked up the newer 755 folding saw for my survival/go-bag and I love it. they are really nice although made in China. I couldn't imagine trying to fit the Buck saw into a pack or trying to carry it with everything else on my belt in a situation...
 
Here's my Saw Buck at work cutting a whole brisket in half. I purchased a case of these beef briskets on sale last Fathers Day for 2.29/lb.. This years Father's Day flyer just came out and they are 2.99/lb.. We haven't had beef in a while so I'll be smoking this tomorrow. Anyone know the cuts on a whole brisket? DM
 
I'm leaving now will be there about sunset....ha 300

Wait a minute there is a Trap shoot today....decisions, decisions.
 
Sure come on. Bring some potatoes. All BCCI members get in free. The model 154 zipped right thru this frozen brisket with no binding. A whole brisket has two cuts. A point and a flat cut. The flat cut is in the fore ground of the photo. This is the better cut as it's holds more lean meat percentage and will be priced higher in markets. Still, it's the better value for your dollar. So, when shopping try to get the Flat cut. Also, this brisket is a IBP choice grade probably from a Amarillo, TX plant. The higher grade will offer the better flavor, tenderness and resists cooking out dry. It's not just all fluff and no substance. Enjoy your weekend. DM
