Copper Bucks

[Culprit99]

I may have missed it, but I don’t think we have a thread devoted to Copper Bucks, so here we go…

I’ll start off with a 532 from the 2023 Legacy Collection in black canvas micarta and CM-154.

Beauty shot from when I received my 532 back in Jan 2024.

Am I understanding that the metal on these knives is copper instead of brass?

Yes, sir!

Pretty sure this is the only Buck I own with any copper on it. Does this count?

Enjoying the Bucks with copper hardware! Good idea for a thread, Culprit99 !

This 107 has a hint of copper—the spacer in the middle. Does it qualify?

I'm not sure this qualifies...it's kind of an odd, old knife that doesn't fit in with most others in a modern collection. Please feel free to send it to me...I'm happy to take care of it so you don't have to deal with conundrums like this

Now that knife is a score GPYRO! Best lookin Buck I have seen. Talk about a keeper.

Thanks.
Black cerakoted blades do look nice with copper handles.

Nice.
Those copper bolstered 110's are nice.

Missed out on that and the copper/ctek knives.

Absolutely! What year group is that?

Absolutely! What year group is that?

I wish I could tell you for certain. Every time I think I have the Group worked out, I begin to question it. The Masonite handle and the sheath suggest an early Group, but inclusion of the model number suggests something a little later. In terms of years, I would put it mid to late 40s.I just can't convince myself which Group. I'm putting up photos of the other side of the knife and of the sheath. Maybe you have an idea?

I’m not smart in that department, for sure, but there are others here who should know.

I'm not so sure the presence of the model number makes it later. A question for Dale (Eichberg) would be if any Group 1 knives ever had model numbers. My example knowledge base is weak but the font size, painted snap, Masonite handle, and "BUCK" stamped under the sheath opening all suggest early to mid 40's Group 1 to me if we can get past the model number question.
