Buck paklite 143 in orange?

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.

Hello all,
Anyone know if Buck made a 143 paklite in orange? Also, is it true the 143 was a Walmart only knife? Thanks!

I do remember seeing the Paklite series with orange traction. They may have been Walmart of Academy Sports exclusives. Both retailers have sold orange Buck knives.

Yeah, i have the 136 boning, 141 large skinner, 140 small skinner, 135 caping, and 499 guthook all with orange traction. I also have them all in black traction and all in straight stainless. And i have the 143 medium skinner in black traction and straight stainless. But i have not found a 143 in orange yet, not sure they made the 143 in orange.

looks like that’s the norm for recently sold on eBay, you didn’t get hurt but if you had visions of buying a Greek island on your profit that may need to be recalibrated.

Shoot, happy I didn’t get skinned, my knowledge of bucks is only slightly head of my knowledge of women- that’s bad. Tim ::shrug::
