The other Buck Caping knife. The model 474. This is an Alaskan Guide Series knife done for Cabela's. It's a beautiful and unique knife and must have been an exclusive for Cabela's as this is the only example of this 474 pattern being used that I know of. A rosewood handle and a nice glossy black titanium nitride coated blade in S30V steel and as found on all knives in the Alaskan Guide Series. No model number or date code is imprinted on the blade. I found this knife listed in the 2008 special projects list with a build quantity of 1,000. I find it hard to believe that they built 1,000 of these as this is the only one I have ever seen. It's a tiny knife, just like its 475 Mini Mentor sibling. Too small for my big hands. What differs it from the Mini Mentor is the Choil/Tang area which is formed for a chocked up hold.
I don't have a Buck in S30V YET. But, here is my Gerber MK1 35th anniversary edition with S30V. My favorite dagger. Not the best picture, mind you, but what I had available.
Here are my S30V Bucks.
Top two, 110 and 112 are 2006, BCCI offerings.
Bottom two are Cabela's Alaskan Guide, 110 and 347 Vantage.
I've used the bottom two. Preston

Not the best picture, but here's my one knife in S30V. This is one of two knives I rotate for work. 112 with ironwood scales from the custom shop, a Christmas gift from my better half.
