Mirror-polished, black 560. Got some questions.

[GFL]

I recently bought one of these beauties.

Does anyone know how many of these were made and what the production year was? The blade stamp does not provide the date code. Thanks in advance.

This one is gonna be easy.....

Welcome to the Buck forum!!!

Some one has put a 2007 Founder Edition 110 blade into a 560.

Those are buildouts from Buck. I picked up one just recently from a factory sale list direct from Buck.

OOPs, sniped by Longbow

These were done at the Buck Factory as a build out. IIRC there is less than 100.

Ahhhh,,,thus the nice box and sheath... :thumbup:

Nice looking knife.

Build outs I think are the best pure collectible Buck for the money...There always a short run,sometimes combine parts from different models,look really cool for the most part,and best of all we [freinds of Buck,BCCI] get first shot at buying them!

Even if GFL doesn't, I do David!

The 560bk w/ black nitrite coated handle must have come out in like 1994 and was still listed in the 1999 catalog . I don't remember seeing the black after that and the entire model ended in 2001 . So, I guess there were a lot made . DM

Thanks David.
