What is:

[Mitch W.]

I found two BUCKS that aren't listed on the website and am wondering what they are.
The first is a 430 with a 1999 date code, is partially serrated, and looks to be never used. The second is a 444 with a 2003 date code that will go for a re-blade. Any help? Thanks

The 430 is called the Quest and I dont know much about it, but it looks to be a lock back version of the Odessey. The 444 is the smallest size of the 3rd generation Bucklite. It was accompanied by the 442(middle size) and then followed the mighty 446 Goliath. After that came some multicolored semiserrated "Flick-it" models that had a thumbstud.

The 430 was called the Quest. It looks as if it didn't last long. It's about as ugly as the Juno and along the same lines.

They were introduced in the 1998 catalog supplement. In the 1999 price list they were $22 MSRP.

I had forgotten to mention that the name Quest was recycled later and used for the 430.
