I have a Buck Nighthawk 650 with about a 1" 3/8 serration edge . On the blade is 708 / 750 . Was wondering is this kind of rare ?

The 650 has no serrations. Only the 653 and 655 has. The 1 of 750 belongs to the first production run. I don't know how much 650 Buck ever made. So I can't say if yours is a rare one. At least you have to cecide by yourself. These knives come up in the big beach from time to time.

Sorry! Read first, then think, an write at least ... I read "with out" serrations and not "with about" my foult. The 650 is a knife of my interest. I never saw one with serratinons. Would you tell me the date code please?

On the blade is BUCK 650 after the 650 is a backwards C . USA , pat pend .
 
The Nighthawk was introduced in 1995. The first production run was marked with 1 of 500. I had a look at the special edition lists and newsletter of the Buck Collectors Club and couldn't find anything else than Buck a special edition "Your Choice/KC Hilites" (whatever that means) from the late 1995. The description says 250 ex. and a "gold pad print" wherever it was printed. There was no other special edition of the 650 in this time frame. Sorry, no more informations. Or could it be possible that you changed the numbers 2 and 7? I don't think so but it cold be a chance.

That must be it . I bought it from Tri City Sporting . They are long gone . When I got home and saw the blade was #erd I never used it . But I did wipe it with wd40 and saw it dissolved the coating a little . Did not take it all off but wondered if I should ? Any thoughts on the coating ? Thank's for the info.
