Last night my dad and I were talking about the Buck knives in his collection and he mentioned a rubber-handled, 7" bladed knife that he bought from Bass Pro Shops in the mid eighties. I pulled up the 1986 catalog from when the Kraton series was first released.
He said, "That's the one I have (pointing to the 619 Woodsmate), but mine has a green handle and camo sheath."
We went through every catalog until the line was discontinued, but there was no mention of the olive drab handled Woodsmate. I asked him to take a closer look at it when he got home. He confirmed the handle and sheath color and also said there is no date code on the blade.
Does anyone have info on this particular model? Was it a special run for a retailer like Bass Pro Shops?
Best,
Matthew
