Which Buck Odyssey is this?

[WolfSpring]

So I picked up this Buck Odyssey today and as I researched it I can't determine weather it is a 186 or a 181 or even a version I or II. I found pictures for buck 181 models as late as 2010 that looked like mine as well as 186 it's hard to tell by the handle or anything. I know it's 2002, the year they didn't put model numbers on them and no steel type marking. The pictures aren't great but they show what I'm working with. Thanks for any insight.

Wolf, you're kind of right. I pulled the 2002 catalog and that year there are 3 Odyssey offerings: one a 181FX with ATS-34 steel, a partially serrated. A 186FL (yours) plain edge and the 186FX, a partially serrated model. Both standard steel (420HC). Nice photos. DM

That is a 186. 420Hc with no chamfer, plastic handles. That was the Wally version. A 181 would have the chamfer, 420hc with plastic. the 182 had the carbon fiber and Ats-34

Thanks, Jeff. I ran across one of those 182 and procured it for Oregon. Who collects those. The knife was like new but no box.
Wolf, ok. Just wondering if you got this requested information. Stay away from those dentist. DM
