buck handmade handle or not

Hoyt Buck produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt and his son Al moved to San Diego and set up shop as H.H. Buck & Son in 1947. Al Buck revolutionized the knife industry in 1964 with the infamous Model 110 Folding Hunter. The company's innovative history and attention to quality have made for many great collectible knives.

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.
