What Can You Tell Me About This Buck?

[ChadHahn]

I picked up this nice 1994 Buck 112 today and want to know more about it.

Did it come from the factory this way? Is it a commemorative edition? What ever you know and want to share I would appreciate.

Thanks,

Chad

Your pictures aren't showing, at least not for me.

 

[ChadHahn]

Oops. Try it now.

I couldn't say for positive, but I'd say no. There are a bunch of folks here and I'll bet someone will come along that wll recognise the work. It looks like someone did the work aftermarket. It's really good looking!

Actually, the knife was a commemorative in '94, but that was because of the blade etching, not the handle work.

I can say for certain, I wish I had it.......300Bucks

The wood inlays are coooool...I like the brass seperating the inlays too.A lot of work went into putting that together ! Lucite ? stone? Looks good!

 

[ChadHahn]

Giving it the old tooth test it seems like Lucite. The woods real anyway!

I thought the same thing DM, but didnt that year have an anvil date stamp?

 

[David Martin]

Yes,thats right,2002 was the 100yr.Anniversary model.But I checked mine to see if they had that etching and the anvil stamp.No, the 100yr.etching is different.Mine has a upside down U but most had the anvil stamp.So, I don't know what that etching was for.DM

The blade first showed up in the 1994 catalog with a picture and the following:

"To commemorate the first knives made in 1902 by our founder, Hoyt Buck"

It goes on to describe the banner and so on.

Here's part of the catlog page from 1994. I don't know how good it will look, I had to do a couple of things to get a picture of it.

 

[ChadHahn]

The blade shows up in 94 but no inlays?

Also the knife came with a brown leather sheath.

I'd bet a Chinese made Buck knife D) that it was done later and not by Buck.

Chad,We realize the year stamping is 1994 on your knife.However,we thought this stamping didn't match the etching.Hence,the discussion.
Plumber,So,the etching is just to commerate Hoyt making knives? I thought it would have been more than that. Or something different.DM
