I used to have a Buck that appears to be discontinued and can't find anything about it anywhere.
It was all an all metal, folding knife that had an assisted opening. not fully automatic. There was a tab on the back (opposite the opening) there you barely got the opening started and then the blade would pop out. There was also sliding lock tan just below the opening tab. The body of the knife was sort of "skeletonized", no wood or plastic. I think it had a clip. Maybe 3" closed and 6" open.
It looked very similar to a Buck Saber.
Actually I gave the original to a friend and then bought one for myself later. Then lost it.
Originally purchased from WalMart for ~$30 sometime between 2006 to 2009.
I've searched Image Pages and other Discontinued and Vintage Sites as well as E Bay.
I'd love to have another one.
Any help out there?

Would it be something like the bottom knife in this photo?

Sounds like a Buck Tempest. The photo below is a bunch of assisted openers from 2005, the Buck is the second from the top.

If it was maybe 3" closed as you remember, it might have been the Rush instead as it is smaller than the Tempest but very similar.

There are lots of them available. Just check out the most common auction site.
