Um...Crelicam is actually the name of the company in Cameroon that harvests ebony. Might be a made up name, but Buck didn't have anything to do with it. They can't even spell it.

yeah that's my point. it's a made up name and trademarked. I missed it was just spelled wrong. I mistakenly assumed the wood farm/company had more made up names for wood products. which wouldn't be much of a stretch. since it's name is made up and trademarked.
I didn't imply Buck had anything to do with it. only it was a made up trademarked name, which it is. I just missed the misspelling of the made up name and mistakenly figured the wood company had another made up name for a wood product. easy mistake in this world of trademarked made up names.

You think that is the reason? Your story you stick with itThe Civil War Battles and I think some of the Confederate Generals were not a 'Buck' project so much as special orders by a Gordon McCoy of Virginia. Tried figuring out who he was without much luck. I guess no Blue-Belly fans ordered any custom knives.
Anyone here on the forum know anything about him? Perhaps I'll ask over on the FB site, Joe Houser plays there.
addendum: So I asked who Gordon McCoy was over on the FB site and received a fairly quick response from Shane Cutty of Queensland.
He was on the Buck Board of Directors in the 90's. I'm guessing he had an "in" at the factory.

Very nice... I really like those knives...1889 painting depicts the wounding of Confederate Lt. Gen. Stonewall Jackson.
The Battle of Chancellorsville [ April 30th to May 6th, 1863 ] is considered Gen. Robert E. Lee’s greatest military victory.
Union General Joseph Hooker with 97,382 troops vs Robert E Lee with 57,352. The Union had the numerical superiority with well trained troops but Hooker was comparatively timid and outplayed buy the strategy of Lee and Jackson. On the evening of May 2 while returning from a reconnaissance Jackson was mistakenly fired on by his own men and died 8 days later. Chancellorsville was considered a win by the numerically smaller Confederate army but the loss of Jackson was a blow as he was one of the greatest military commanders of the Confederacy. Lee reorganized on the wave of the victory and prepared for what was to become the Gettysburg campaign a month later.
Bloodiest Battles
The bloodiest battles of the Civil War were:
Note: Antietam had the greatest number of casualties of any single-day battle. The other battles listed above all lasted more than one day.

- Chickamauga: 34,624 casualties

Buck 531 commemorating the Civil War Battle of Chancellorsville. This knife was part of a limited series featuring 7 Civil War Battles. They were a serialized issue of 100 knives each made for Gordon McCoy of Virginia. Features a bias cut birch handle, stainless steel frame, and provided with a gray jewel case. This knife is documented on the 1992 Special Projects list.
Buck 110 Lee and Jackson c.1990, (both present at the battle of Chancellorsville). Serialized to 250 with a nickel silver frame and ebony handles. This knife is documented on the 1991 Special Projects list. When Aurum Etchings shut down in 1989 they helped Buck set the process up in house so this knife would have actually been gold etched in the Buck factory. There was another Civil War themed 110 with just Stonewall Jackson listed in 1988, also a limited edition of 250. I have that knife in my collection but not sure in which box or cabinet.

Gordon McCoy was a 19 year Buck distributer in the North Carolina Kentucky and West Virginia area.. I made contact 8 years ago and bought sample protyype 112 blades and aa Stag Turkey or Rattler from him and some 110 stuff. A nice Southern Gentleman he also had some multiple blade protyype Slippies he tried to get sold and produced by Buck ..
