Hello! I have been using my Buck 110v for hunting and fishing. My hunting buddies have demanded me to stop using it and find out the value before I ruin it. It is a 1 of 250 J.E.B. Stuart. The blade is etched with soldiers on horseback carrying a dixie flag, with trees in the background and the general's face. The back of the blade is stamped E, the handle is made of reddish-orange wood that I am not familiar with, and a silverish colored metal (possibly brass). Can anyone help me with placing a value on this knife, and maybe some additional information (i.e. wood, metal and the E stamp). Thank you Buzzsaw

This knife was produced in 1989. There were 250 pcs produced and it origially sold for $125.00. The series was reported in Levine's guide to knives 4th edition to be worth $195 each.

The "E" stamp meant that the blade was pulled out from the collectible series and sold to our employees (thus the "E")

It was non warrantied and not part of the series. I could not tell you what it was worth as it was sold to be a fancy working knife and not a collectable.

I am sure Joe will check this thread next week and add anything he can.

Thank you CJ Buck , I can see now that I will no longer use the 110v bear hunting any more. I think that I should sell or trade it to someone that will respect it more than I do. So if anybody out there could guide me in the right direction please E-mail me. OR SEND ME SOME OFFERS!!! Thanks BUZZ.
 
CJ,
When you say it was pulled out, does that mean that the knife is in addition to the 250 pieces shown in Levines? Are any/all "employee" special sale knives denoted with the E stamp? You learn something everyday reading this forum. Thanks for taking the time to weigh in.

Buzz,
Cj is totally correct in his description of the knife. It most likely was an overrun of the original series. Sometimes an "E" knife has a very minor cosmetic flaw which would make it unfit to sell but a shame to throw away. We sell these, without warrantee, to our employees. It is rarely done.
If it was mine, I would use it to cut things with and annoy my friends!

Take care,

Joe,

Do you sell the "E" knives to members of the Collectors Club? If not, can you hire me as a telecommuting employee from the east coast, maybe in the P. R. department? Say, for a knife a year?

It would be a very interesting thing to start
a collection of "E" stamped knives.

Just a thought.

Alan,

Let me think about that one. ;-)

But seriously, it has been a long time since we sold any "E" knives. The largest group of them i know about are 110's from a few years back. They were brown or red bone or stag and a lot of them had damascus blades. The flaw was so small that most folks could not find it! If i remember correctly, there was mayby 1000 or so of them. I don't dare tell you how much we sold them for.
