What's considered a good price on these now that they are discontinued? (gray handles, nothing fancy)
 
I bought one of mine for $40 it was NIB, but have seen them from the same area around $100. It is mainly what you are willing to pay for one. I have two and if I ran across one for $50 or less I would get it. Best of luck to you, it is a great knife to have.

Might also depend if it is one of the older thick ones with the vertical walls, or a thinner newer one with the sloped walls.. I like the older ones best

Thats walls in the holes.

Oh yeah!! Welcome to the Buck Forum!!!

and another oh yeah....good price depends on if you are buying or selling.. :)

Holes??? I recall Mike Kerins commenting on the edge chamfer [stepped vs beveled] but nothing on the holes (indentations in the metal)... :confused:

I have two 560's, both purchased from members here...IIRC, they both ran ~$75...One is gray brushed finish BG-42 "Custom"; the other is gold speckled [no brushed finish] 560 "n"...Both have the beveled edges...Neither had boxes/papers/etc...

As for thickness...Overall thickness at front bolster -

Gray = .450"
Gold = .465"

I find that interesting... :)
 
I agree with JohnWayneSandW and Mickey Rat. $40-100 (several variations).

Geez Trax, I thought shirley you had one of the older ones that is right at a full half inch thick with the edge offset and vertical hole walls instead of the beveled hole walls. I think those go back to 92 or 93 time frame.

We did all those pics here once up on a time. I gotta get me one of those digital gizmo scale thingies like yours.

Edison, Buck quit making the 560 somewhere around 02 or 03, maybe earlier. There could be some laying around a hardware store, but I doubt it.

Most of them show up on ebay or someone here on the forum might have one they will let go of.
 
It's been there a while....but I did miss out on some nice Buck toothpicks b/c I hesitated :o....he stocks a number of knives that don't seem to be moving b/c the prices are too high
