What kind of Buck 500 do I have?

[will_77]

I came across a forgotten Buck 500 while going through some stuff at my parents' house. I'm pretty sure I bought it back in the mid-90s. Anybody know what handle material this is? It looks like some kind of jigged bone. Any info would be appreciated. Here are some pics:

Hi Will 77,

Welcome to the Buck forum. That is a very nice Duke 500 jigged bone; there have been about four of that knife sell on ebay in the last 6 months. They are selling for $90.00 - $100.00. If you ever want to sell it drop me a line .

Thanks for the info. I'm not necessarily looking to sell, just wasn't familiar with Buck knives. My 110 from this era, which happened to be stored in its sheath, didn't fare as well as the 500. The brass bolsters were green with corrosion, which wiped off, but now they're kind of discolored.

apply some Flitz or Brasso to the bolsters.
Show some pics of your 110.

Here are some pics of the 110, bought approximately the same time as the 500 above:
