Its in mint unused condition, no box or paper. Have had it a long time and was most likely bought off of ebay, So it has had previous owners

It isnt unusual except on the front of the blade Mr. Chuck signed his name.

A previous owner used something like a sharpie and blacked in where the stainless blade shown through. So I chalked to bring out the signature. Which will wash off,,

But, on the back side of the blade Mr. Elgin Thomas signed his name with a date and what I believe might be his BCCI number as I believe he was instrumental in founding the Buck Collectors club.

The knife has a 1992 dash and looks like they signed this one 8-27-1993

I am very curious if there are others out there signed like this one, or could this be one of a kind??

What I did and apparently did something wrong is asked Mr. Jeff if Buck Inc would be interested in this one for its museum? I dont think that message went through,

So maybe our new BKI rep guy/girl do some follow up... I think it deserves a display other than wrapped up on my cabinet shelf.
Especially if this is a one of a kind.

And I believe the black in the signatures could be removed by the folks In the SPA shop.

Lot of History here.,

Oh,,, and yes this would be a donation.

Thank you for reaching out. I reached out to Tony who oversees the museum, but I'm sure we can find some space in the displays for your black 560. I believe we only have 2 on the display at the moment. If you wouldn't mind sending it, ill send you some goodies and a picture of your knife in the museum.
