ITE

Now really..... what is the significance of the "E"?

 

[ItsTooEarly]

DeSky, some ex-Buck-employees say that the E was a employee Knife... Some say it's like a FB knife that they sell at the Buck Shop... That's all I know about it... ITE

 

[Haebbie]

Haebbie, now those are sweet Ultima l Buck knives... I see
alot white pearl ones But not black ones... I don't have one...
Is it a custom one...

No, ITE, it is not a custom one. It is a production knife,
may be a limited edition. I had two black pearl but one
of them I gave away for the golden one.

There are some hints in the Blade Forums like this:

For any 507 collectors, there
were three vrsions of the 507 as I recall; white pearl,
golden pearl and a much smaller number of black pearl.

comes time comes more information ...
Does anybody know more about the Black Pearl?

Best,
Haebbie

Now really..... what is the significance of the "E"?

The E means it was sold to employees, because it was a second, it has a flaw of somekind which could not be easily reworked. So they sold it to employees and the profits went to some charity cause.
