OK,

I think I know that the BuckLock is a Scott Sawby lock on a production folder.

How many models? What are ther names?

What would I like to know about these?

Hi Marion,
Not sure if this answers your question but the Bucklock series was a short run that started in 1991(at least from the catalog I have) and included a 531 (Bucklock-1) with a 3 1/4" blade, 532(Bucklock)with a 3" blade and 535 (Bucklock-2)with a 2 3/4" drop point and 2 3/8" spey blade.

These knives were very well made. They had excellent lockback systems and nice file work that you would normally see on a custom.

I currently own 532's in cherrywood, walnut, jig bone and dyamond wood. How many others there were I don't know.

I love these knives and am always on the look out for one.

Here's a pic of the three. Phot is from Buck:

I saw an old Blade magazine that said they were an adaptation of the Sawby Lock.

And the ones I have seen look like his work.

Look at thread titled double ended double
lock-back posted July 12. It has a short
bit of info on the bucklocks both sawby and
mid-body locking systems.
Hope this helps!

The BuckLocks were our first custom collaboration. I am not even positive when but seemed like late 80's. The initial lock we got from Scott unlocked when you rapped hard on the back of the blade. The locking mechanism involved a spring and the momentum created bringing the knife against wood or the bottom of your shoe would compress the spring unlocking the knife. We had tooled up for production before this fact was known. I remember our VP of sales and marketing at the time cut his thumb to the bone demonstrating why the knife would not be delivered on time.

We then switched to a midlock/lockback.

I think these were some of the best looking folders we ever made but they just did not sell. We keep trying to revive them as with their inclusion in Master Series.

CJ,
I think these are some of the best folders Buck has ever made and I highly recommend to keep making variations of the 532 & 531.

I would love to see a stag handle 532 and maybe a carbon fiber, and ......I could go on forever.
