Help with ID and value

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.

Help with ID and value

Post by kgilson92 »

I’m interested in making a deal to purchase this knife but I don’t really know what a good offer would be. I believe it to be a 1968-1970 Buck Nemo with the red/brown spacers. Condition is obviously well-worn. Thanks for the help!

They go pretty high, but to give you a base line this sold on eBay recently for $330. Had some dents in the handle and wear.

My opinion only.
He's about $1000 to high.

Well mint in the box and actually owned by Captain Nemo might fetch $1200. This one not so much. Neat knife and not real common but careful shopping should get you one for considerably less.
You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.

On eBay there are a bunch for $900 or so, but I searched sold products. There was another for around $600 and some that sold with best offer taken but price not shown. $1200 seems well above to me unless there was a proven Vietnam provenance where it was carried in action(that ups the price on a lot of knives, especially MK2 Gerber).
