Serration Saturday's...

It's actually a "Bears Jaw". I'm not sure who specifically did the work. I'm assuming it was done in the custom shop and not an aftermarket job based on whos collection it came from. I really don't know that I can get any more specific than that. The blade itself has the old "tip down" 2 line stamp, and appears to be 440C. The brass plate bears the engraving "Bears Jaw" and the script custom shop stamp. I don't know any more than that. I thought about asking on the Club site, but have recently cancelled my membership, and I don't do facebook so I won't get any help there either. It's pretty cool and will have a home in my collection!
 
Does anyone know how common a serrated 105 from 1988 is? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
 
They're not terribly common. That year buck had several serrated versions in the catalog, among them the 105, 119, and 301. No telling how many were actually made and they don't turn up very often. I picked one up several years ago and it was the only one I had seen.
 
I just got it in the mail. It is in the box, never used... with the original paperwork AND the original receipt. I am trying to find a value because the amount I paid may need to be bumped up a little. I only paid $150.

It's against the rules to talk values without a gold membership level or above. You've been here long enough that you should know that...lol
 
I could have sworn I was... has it been a year already? Hell with it. They should keep track as to how much members spend. I have other places to get info. Thanks. I'm OUTTA here!

Does the model number on the box show that the knife is part of the N1 Series?

No, I'm just seeing the model name, model number and catalog number. Where would the N1 Series designator be? Sorry about the delayed response, I thought your message was part of the scolding I got. I appreciate your help....

Actually, I had NO idea that that was the rule. This is one of the only times I've posted on BF without spending money being my goal. I support the knife makers and sellers who sell here. I did finally find out that my subscription croaked in January. I had to go back in my bank records because I got no response from Admin. Thank you for your diligent Hall monitoring.
 
Glad I could help!

If not for those of us paying for the site, any freeloader (like yourself, prior to an hour ago) tempt those of us with the knowledge you seek into breaking the rules.

Sarcasm aside... at $150, you've over spent by 25-50% in my opinion. The 105 isn't as desirable a model for the majority of collectors. It's had fewer variations over the years than just about any traditional pattern, fixed or folder. The 301 is probably top dollar on the series with the 119 close behind. Either of those could be $150 knives.

Good luck with the sale.

As I'm sure you're used to, your assumptions have made an ass of you... again. First, that would be a year and 4 months or so ago. I renewed my membership. Second, your opinion was neither valid or wanted. I have seen 3 or 4 other comps that make your "knowledge" ridiculous. THIRD... I didn't want the value for resale. As I said, I saw the value and wanted to confirm so I could compensate the lady I bought it from. I'm no Buck expert and she's an estate sale buyer. I wanted to make sure I wasn't cheating anyone. You've been called a pedantic jackass before, haven't you? Not that I am calling you that, I think you're a great example for us.

I've been called a lot of things, I can take it. I'm much better than the simple minded, small people who think blowing a gasket in a forum somehow earns them any respect.

I guarantee you this though... My "A" in life trumps your "A" as a keyboard tough guy.

Good luck with the sale.
