Buck Strider knives... specific model numbers?

[allyourblood]

I've had this knife for years but I can't seem to narrow down the exact model number. In fact, when I poked around online, I had a hard time finding any others in the same configuration as mine. When I did, I would see it listed as "Buck Strider Tarani" or "889" but I imagine there must be an exact model number for this specific blade steel, edge type, and handle scales (which are Zytel or whatever similar material). I bought it locally and the seller didn't have the box or documentation so this has been a long-standing mystery for me.

Did the Buck/Strider colab knives have unique model numbers or just series numbers? Anyone have a site they can point me to or some other info? Can anyone shed some light on the "SB.4 T" mark on the blade? Thanks very much, folks!

IIRC, "882 SB4" was the model number. The "T" is the year it was made, 2003.

Thank you so much!

Using that model number I immediately ran a search and found the following thread, detailing many (if not all) of the Buck Strider knives:

Can't believe I didn't find it before but I imagine I wasn't using the right search terms. It seems I'm not the only one having a hard time making heads or tails of the various models and variations. Thanks again!

Nope, trying to sort them out can be crazy.
