Hello all,

I need some expert help (please be kind - I'm new here).

Can anyone tell me if Buck ever made a saw (?). I have one but it has no identifying marks on it other than the word "Buck" embossed on the synthetic handle and on the leather sheath and stud clip.

I have search the Buck website and can't find it so I guess it's no longer in production.

It's about 12" long, with the blade serated on either side.

Any help MUCH appreciated....

tree saws
meat saws
camp saws
many stamped diffrent ways and if it only has buck it il likely older earler mod and worth keeping
but i am out of my reagon of knolage here

note the both sides... that is what he was asking on the current production only has teeth on one side ,,, he did not indacuate if it was a folking mod or not but did not they make one with teeth on both sides in a sheath which he say is with it?

That's why I like cave paintings (pics).

PICS!!!!!!
Yes they made one with serrations on both sides.
They made quite a few for ducks unlimited too.
1989-1999 MFG years. I dont have the catalogs previous to 1989 though so It could be earlier than that even!
10 1/4" blade with 2 cutting surfaces. Serrations changed mildly over the years so I dont know what year yours is with out pics.
Black kraton handle. BUCK stamped on rubber handle where it meets the saw blade?
Saddle leather sheath with belt loop. Model # 154 BKC. (cat#8208) Suggested retail in 1994 was $36.00 made in sweden. :D

 
Wow, you guys are good!

Thanks wh4f! That pic and your description looks like exactly what I have.

(I could not work out how to post a pic - sorry). It was purchased new sometime in the early 1990's so it fits the timeframe as well. A collector is rationalising his collection so its going to end up on ebay I think - at least now I know how to describe it properly.

Thanks to all who replied! Much appreciated!

1990's

I was hoping you knew...I sure don't... :(

When firearms serial numbers (and motif, and lettering) are put on the frame of the weapon, they "roll" it...anybody know why??? That is, why not engrave, or stamp it??? I've bought "blems" from Numrich; slides with the lettering/scenes offset from when somewhen missed the correct stop when feeding it into the...rolling machine...

Buck blades look rolled, too; if they were stamped, there would be displaced metal around the letters/numbers...

Sorry I dont know, but your theory sounds about right to me engraved is probably too expensive?:D

Are you sure they "roll" the serial numbers too? I remember from my police days that stolen weapons that have had their serial numbers sanded or ground off can still be detected by using a chemical to draw them out. When the numbers are stamped, the molecular structure of the steel beneath the area where the numbers were is altered and when the chemical is applied the original number can be seen.

Magnifluxing will bring the numbers up too, if the grinding (or drilling) doesn't go down far enough...the grain of the steel is altered; it's like looking at an outline of the numbers/letters...if you grind down far enough, the outline becomes too blurry to tell a number definitively...(8 & 3; 5 & 2; 7 & 1; etc)...

Rolling is like stamping, but with tons of pressure and the numbers/letters mounted on a drum that "rolls" the figures into the metal as they pass by on a moving table/belt...

That pretty much exhausts my knowledge on that subject...
