I was asked about a Buck Knives 493 Waterfowler Boone and Crockett Platinum Series. I am familiar with the Ergo Hunter Waterfowler but not this 493 model. Can you tell us anything about it?
Buck Knives 0493B01-B

Are these 154CM?

Who asked you? The seller on ebay, because that's where the knife you're asking about is.... We can't appraise a knife for you as JB said.... eBay item # 223179931961

You'll have to contact Joe at Buck...
 
No, not the seller on Ebay. A local guy who knows I collect Buck Knives. I only collect the utilitarian grades, not the Series knives, so this is a foreign model to me.

The guy that's asking is looking at the one on ebay. I showed the item #. He's wanting to get an appraisal from you, I believe... Ask him...

If he has one in his hand, I stand corrected...
 
He has one in hand. His is dated 2015 on the box. That ebay listing is the only other reference to the knife I've found. A search on the forum brought up a 2014 FS post for a 493 but it described a different handle.

They were made in both 154CM and 420HC.

Without discussing value of that particular knife,I would state that I believe the 154CM to be worth about $30.00 more than the 420HC model.

Not trying to be a smart alleck, but we know what it is not worth. It is obviously worth less than that if it is not selling.

That one on Ebay has been relisted 3 times, but its description is the best information I've been able to find so far.

Does the "-B" mean this particular knife is a factory blemished example? Or does it stand for the "Boone & Crockett" Platinum Series? The box doesn't have any stickers or marks to indicate it is a blemished model.
 
-B means box ---- that goes for all knives with -B.....

ha --that sellers prices are outta this world----look at how many items he has sold---funny---I think I would lower my prices.....
