Joe, my insurance company also offers merchandise to its policy holders. The current catalog has a Buck knife in it. The company is USAA and the knife advertised is a model 521 with "fire arm" blued handles, engraving and your choice of the American flag or military branch insignia inlaid in the handle (except no army). The symbol next to the model number is similar to this, ]. The knife is listed as 6.5 inches long open and 3 5/8 inches closed. My questions are:
1. Is this one of Buck's standard stainless steel frame gents folders
2. Are the handles really blued
3. Is the engraving cut or pressed or cast into the handles.
The knife is priced at $89.00 plus $12.00 shipping which seems quite expensive for what it is unless there is a lot of work in the knife to get it to this condition.
I would appreciate any information you could give me on this knife.
Thanks in advance.
