thanks. it is very thick handle, not smooth...i tried to capture the bulkiness as well, it doesnt have the crest saying buck.... thx for welcome

My opinion, from the photos is ....just remembering the saying about opinions......is that it is an 'aftermarket' addition. Back when the Buck factory was in California, they operated a truly Custom Shop. You could just about get any knife modified in an way you wanted. Unless that knife came from that situation, I stand with my opinion of after the fact modification. It does not increase the collectable value any as it appears to be a well used knife. I classify these as 'odd-balls' and pick them up for the collection when I can get them cheap.
