I saw a Rare Unknown to me Little Bird Today

[Flatlander1963]

I don't know how many of these were made or if its a proto but it's most interesting.

 

[110 Dave]

seems we have likes in common!
never even heard of one before
wander what Joe will have to say
or perhaps the Buck Duck will enlighten us?

 

[Flatlander1963]

Maybe we'll get a little history from those that know.

 

[300Bucks]

HonkerRusty will maybe chime in. I will make sure and email him..

Ok Gordon,
You will need to give me the model number for that slippy. I don't have them 700's in memory by sight.

Here is some info you BCCI guys have (June 06 news letter). The old custom shop did a few folders not many but a few and yes there were some in Damacus.
701D (1)
703D (1)
704D (4)

John,

Its a 704.

Boy if I could have a damascus 701 (the large stockman) I would be very happy.

Any Buck slippy with a DM blade would make me very HAPPY, and I'm not a slippy guy!

Thats the 704 Maverick, the only one of the series w/o a equine name . Came out in 1983, Buck started using that shield (the block style) in late 1984 or 1985 so it must be atleast of that era . I've not seen one in Damascus, its striking . The custom shop was still in operation then . Thanks for posting . DM

Whats the story?? Is it from e;bay?

I assume Buck would say that Maverick can be considered an equine name, since some folks call an unbranded horse a maverick even though it may be a less than common usage.

A really nice looking knife.

 

[Flatlander1963]

And it just sold for $92. I did bid $85 but was out trail cleaning for the snow shoe trails and could last minute the bid...Oh well

Did anyone get it???

And exactly why do you think you don't like (can't stand) damascus blades?
