Guess what Preston.... that IS the correct original sheath for your knife. All the Mates came with that generic looking nylon sheath. /Roger

I sure didn't think so, 'cause of no Buck on the snap and the nylon is finer than I've seen other 600 series . It is a Made In USA sheath and I know you have forgotten more than I ever knew about Buck and their knives. Thanks, Preston

First one I purchased years ago I had the same thought and was going to "pitch it" but fortunately learned better before I did. It is actually a pretty well made nylon sheath with a full plastic liner. /Roger

Some really special knives showing in this thread today! Thanks all and especially ITE.

Pre '86 - 701, getting harder to find lately.

I certainly appreciate you telling me about this, thanks again. Preston

This is the sheath that came with my 639.As can be seen,it is camo,but similar to the black sheath.

I did,however,find a better sheath from Buck.

Was that sheath for the 639 or was it for another model?

"Glacier Blue" smooth bone ChinaBuck slippies.
Clockwise, 373 Trio, 384 Large Trapper, 388 Large Toothpick, 385 Toothpick, and 389 Canoe.
What I don't like about mail order is the inability to pick n match.

I'm sorry for my late response but we've been out shopping.

That sheath was designed for the leather handled models that were all black.I can't remember the name of the series of knives.

brahma....

I actually prefer the cheaper nylon type over the brahma sheath.

 

[sportingspecialist]

That's it, the Brahma series.

Those nylon sheaths are too cheesy.

The Brahma sheaths certainly appear to be more high-tech.

I did not care for the hybrid nylon/leather sheaths at all. Different tastes...

I thought that as well when I first received one.Then I used it a few times and realized it was far superior than the nylon one which it replaced.It can be carried high or low on the belt.It also has a secondary method of keeping the knife in place and to prevent its loss.

Now I like it more than the original. Although a good leather sheath would be better than either one.

 

[jbmonkey]

great stuff y'all. enjoyed it stopping in all day off and on.

so here's my contribution. Big thanks to Mike/Makael for helping me get this one and a few others. wife hasn't noticed her vehicle is now wearing a buck sticker as well no pic of that though.....

Sometimes it takes awhile... 4 years 6 months between finding the first and completing the set. Mini Zippers and Vanguards. A 2006 special project for Bass Pro. They are about 1/2" shorter in the blade and handle. Front to back models 686, 687, 688, and 689. Notice they were not marked with model numbers or date codes. Joe Houser did a few limited editions in more recent times based on these blades. I have one somewhere.... (thank you Makael)

 

[DeSotoSky]

Not remembering costs more.... I was sure I already had one of these. Checked my records that evening and discovered I did not. Drove back to the gun show the next day and paid admission... again... to get it.

 

[jbmonkey]

decided to add a knife pic that did some cutting......

slim micarta I got from Makael.....



little bit thick blade wise but for a fast job works fine.

 

[BuckShack]

I love the lightweight division. So fun, so easy to carry. The Aluminum 110 is rock solid, no movement whatsoever.

 

[Makael]

I think I have 4 of these left. Good looking knives.
