It certainly is well done making it even more special. Did you research the artist?

No I have not Preston. No clue where to start with that little squiggly thing as a makers mark. I don't see that on my keyboard anywhere.

gedlicks gedlicks @bertl You both saw it.
OK gang.... followup to this image... yes, the knife is marked on the handle 'BLADE', not 'BUCK'.
I looked this evening and could not find my notes but my memory is these were done for Blade Magazine.
Good luck finding eBay auction pictures good enough to show it, I'm sure no seller would ever notice.
All of you with black 425's in your drawers, go check, you might just have one

Makael, Mammoth tooth handles really are beautiful and special. Of all the handle materials in my collection it might be the only one I do not have. Someone showed a Mammoth tooth 124 here once.... not that was a knife.

I had the same question years ago when I found a gray 425 with Blade instead of Buck on the handle. Somebody gave me the same answer.

Preston - I graduated in 1979 in a small town. I trapped when I was in high school and only went to school from 11:30 - 3:15 my junior and senior years and trapped from 6am until I had to go to school.
I drove a 1972 Chevrolet 4x4 pickup with a gun rack in the back window where I kept my 22 rifle and a 12 gauge shotgun. My senior year I was called into the office and was told that there was some talk
where a student mentioned steeling my guns. The principal than asked me to either not bring them to school which I went from my trapline straight to school so that was not really possible. He than
suggested I bring the guns into the back of the office every morning and picked them up when I would leave after school. Every morning I would carry my guns by the ladies in the office saying good morning to them
all and setting my guns in the corner of the back room. Than doing the same at the end of school every day and walking out with my guns. Could you imagine that being acceptable today. My have times changed.

This little 525 is my favorite of my little knives. In the early 60's my Dad was in the Coast Guard and was the lighthouse keeper at the Cape Meares Lighthouse here on the Oregon Coast. I was born while living there.
We than bounced around from the West Coast to the East Coast a couple times until my father retired after 20 years and we settled down in a small Oregon town.
It was a great life with fantastic parents, an older brother and sister and 1 younger brother. We all still live within a few miles from each other.

I also added a picture to of a drawer of little knives in boxes for you imagination to run wild. Some have multiple knives in them up to over 20 and many more that are not in that drawer.

The 1987 catalog shows the Mini Buck as a new product that year. Examples of those early years look to me like they have a full flat grind. I'm fairly certain my '88 model 425 is flat ground. Can anyone confirm this and when/why they switched to hollow grind?
