Knife World May 2011 had an article about knives with carbide treated edges and highlighted this prototype. Apparently per Mark Z (KW editor) this knife was a prototype with perhaps less than 12 being made that Buck supplied for the article.
Thats a 319 Rancher and came out in 73. I've not heard of a 'carbide edge' Buck knife either. DM
