Does anyone know why I seem to see a lot of plain ivory Micarta 315s? Were they left over from the America Cup release? Did some company commission a ivory Micarta build from Buck (Camillus)? Did the Buck Customs Shop make a special release? Some other reason? I've included the two that are in my collection as well as two America's Cup versions that were built with same handle material.

You see a lot of those, you say? This is the first time I've ever seen one. Thanks for showing me another knife I didn't known I can't live without! 😄

Well, with my amateur knife collecting, I rarely have any knife shows to go to, I figured since I already have two, there must be a lot of them. I don't see many colors other than black and ivory. So why ivory? I do have a newer style lighter ivory one, but I think that one probably is scarce.
