At an Estate sale I just left they have a "REAL" Buck steak knife,,,,,but it has the B with a straight line down about 3 thousanths of an inch in from the edge; wish I had had a camera? Is it real or fake? Of course they think it is and want "$35 for it..????

I can't find a thread on Buck logos?

I have a set of 4 Buck steak knives from about 30 yrs ago but can't open your pic or post pics of mine
forgot to add, mine have black handles and a partially serated blade
 
I think you connected 2 links? can't open the link and is not showing on thread. Obvisouly....LOL trying editing the links an seperating them at half way through at the
 
The knife I can see is the small one of the Empress Trio from Buck Cutlery. No Steak knife.

Ok, Haebbie's assessment is sound. tex, the knife in the photo you post (thanks for the effort as it's a pain) is the paring knife from an early Empress Trio set, Buck's model 200. It is a Real Buck model. The handle material is not wood and has not been run thru the dishwasher too much. It is micarta and a very strong material. Just rub some mineral oil on it and it will look new. I've given the same asking price for one before as they are good kitchen knives.
NOW, rodb the Buck knife you mention is real as well. Only a different Buck model. The one you mention is from Buck's Windsor Set model 206. That set held 6 steak knives is a walnut display box and the front inch of their blade is serrated. The two knives mentioned here look the same only one has serrations. Both are hard to find. Plus, it is common that sellers will break up the set when offering them so, they can make more $$. DM

Yep, a full set, but I bought the 6 main knives first, then 2 sets of 4 each steak knives (8 total)
Then added a Japan made 815 Buck shears.
So my kitchen set is currently 15 pieces altogether, and they get used daily :)

I would very much like to also add an Empress Trio set to them at some point.
 
Nice! Chris...I remember when they first started offering those up. I always wanted a Buck knife set, but at the time they were way out of my price range then. I can imagine what they would be worth today.....
 
Here's 2 complete sets with their walnut boxes. The maroon micarta handled set is from 1973. The black micarta handled set is more rare according to JH. DM
 
Thank you, DM, for the substantial completion :).

For comparison: the paring and the steak knife.

Haebbie, Your welcome. Yes, I was comparing the steak knives of our current set from Buck to those early models and they have greatly changed. Thanks for the photo. DM
 
thats a fine looking set.....thanks for sharing! David. I'll have to file that ito the memory bank. My name is Peter.....no secrets here. Just Google USMule and you'll see..
 
Mule, Your welcome. Where ever I run across the kitchen set I try to procure it. Most kitchen knife sets offered today don't come with a 9" carver. That knife is usually sold separately. Even Buck's current set, which I bought for my wife on our 20th Anniversary and she really enjoys them, did not come with a 6" boning blade. These two are my 'go to' blades each time I process a deer or large beef. Kitchen sets offered thru the years will change the length of it's knives but those two I find most useful. DM
 
when did BUCK 1st introduce these an what steel are they? 440c? they look like 440c.....
