Strait Buck Knife

[justintexas]

Can anyone help me with information on the following Buck Knife I received from my grandfather's estate?

Here is what I have:
New in box - Model 0192-GS-0
Handle = Strait Buck
Blade = Pic and signature of George Strait
Sheath = Strait Buck
4 1/4" Fixed Blade
Knife overall length 8 1/4"
TANG - BUCK - 192 C - U.S.A.
Manufacture 1995

Does anyone know when this was manufactured.
How many were manufactured.
What did it sell for.
What is it worth today.
Where can I find more details about this knife.

Your time, knowledge and experience is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Justin

That is not a lockblade it is a sheath knife (fixed blade). That is a Vangard of a special Limited Edition run to commemorate George Strait hence the 'GS'. Does the box have some other numbers on it or state the blades stamping. DM

I cant find it in the special projects list from 2000 to present. On the blade tang, is there a symbol next to the 192(-, /, +, <-, etc) to give us some idea of production date.

I did a search on Google and it looks like this came out in 1995.

Thank you for your input. I updated the description. The Tang only shows Buck 192 C U.S.A.

The Box shows the 0-0192-GS-0 with UPC 033753089473, but none of the UPC site have that code in their databases.

The Tang show 192C, so I know it was manufactured in 1995.

According to the Nov 1995 Special Projects there were 8000 Strait Bucks produced for South Texas Pet Products. Don't know what they sold for and board rules prohibit discussion of values
