Buck 475 help!?

[Chaser81]

Picked this knife up at a yard sale for 10$, and I don’t know a lot about buck knives, just enough to get me in trouble. I assume it is a 475, that is what is on the sheath. The blade doesn’t have a model number on it. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Hi , I believe it was made in 2002 and it is a 475 well worth $10.00

For comparison, among Tractor Supply's bargain tools and in Wal-Mart $9.99 & tax will buy a similar size Chineese made Camillus with blade steel so soft the edge bends applying normal pressure on a sharpening stone. In a U.S. made Buck you get Buck's standard well heat treated 420HC.
