I am pretty sure it has Buck's 420HC. I am not sure of the name of the knife (sorry), nor the years they were made. I have played with a few and they seemed nice. You got a heck of a deal for 50 cents!!! :thumbup:
As for the blade, it always felt more like a sticker knife as to a cutter.
Someone will be along with more info.

Here's some info on the Taclite, original retail price was about $55.00. Circa 2003. Nice looking little knife, I'd say you did good liljon.
Buck's® High-Tech Taclite Lockblade
Combines Range of Features
The new TacLite folding lockback Model 886 from Buck Knives offers a rare combination of qualities and features.
It's definitely high tech with its striking design, but the laminated wood handle gives it a classic look. It's rugged and durable, yet it's very lightweight (Just 2 oz), so it's well suited to outdoor or everyday use. TacLite has a 2-5/8" modified drop-point blade, partially serrated for added cutting power when needed. It has smooth open-close action, with a thumb stud, and has a liner looking system for safety in use.
The integrated thumb rest on the back of the blade provides added knife control. The blade steel is Buck's 420HC, hardened to Rc 58 for superior edge retention. The handle may be the surprise element; it' s a handsome wood laminate for good looks and durability.
A stainless steel belt/pocket clip makes it easy to carry.
Features include:
Light weight, high-tech,
One-hand opening/closing folder
Classic wood laminate handle
Length Closed: 3½"
Blade Length: 2 5/8"
Blade Shape: Modified drop point
Knife Type: Folding, Locking Liner
Weight: 2 oz.
Carry System: Stainless steel clip
Unconditional Lifetime Warranty
Made in the USA
