Someone is offering what they say is a Buck Strider 888 in tiger stripe for a really good price. Problem is, I don't know Buck/Striders at all, and from what I've been able to see doing a quick online search is that Buck doesn't make a Strider 888 in tiger. Anyone help me?
 
Thanks. Messersmith. The guy has a pic, and it appears to be a fixed blade, not a folder like the bones. So in your opinion its probably a fake?
 
I've never seen one like that but I don't know much about the Buck Striders so hopefully someone else will chime in.
 
I have three of them all different versions and I've never seen or heard of a tiger striped one. A picture would help if you have one.

explore84 - Are yours ATS-34??? The one I looked at was BG-42, and I'm wondering what else they made the 888 blades out of... :confused:

The first XXX production run were BG-42 only...
Then they went to the ATS-34. BG is very limited in the Buck strider knives!
 
Thanks, everyone, for the help. While I don't have a definitive answer, I'm thinking it's not the Real McCoy. I'm not going to buy it. Thanks again for the help.
 
It looks legit in the picture - box size seems right, sheath is the right style but slightly different green (but that could be the camera) and the knife looks correct. It even has the BOS stamp in the right place. Maybe someone from Buck could tell us if they did a tiger-striped run??
