Buck Bucklock 1 531 Sawby Knife Rare Vintage Box Papers

I have this in the General Knife Forum and was told I should repost it here for the Buck knife people.

A Buck Bucklock 1 Model 531 Sawby knife. Knife is mint, box shows just a little shelfwear. All paperwork and sheath. This is a rare knife that Buck discontinued due to safety concerns.

I noticed some of them didn't have the tang markings where the original ones were (like this one) also the others lacked the Pat number on the blade. This one is as close to perfect as I could find in this knife.

PS:I have received the knife and it locks very well.

How does the lock operate?

Is it similar to a liner lock like the electrician knife?

[Draac]

You unlock it by pushing the metal piece with your thumb. It turns a kind of a cam inside the knife.

Ah hah.

Thanks for the info

Very nice - terrific Buck collectible. Alas, so rarely seen I'm like SGT Schultz on this one! OH

Ps There is a very active group of Buck collectors on the Buck sub-forum at The Blade Forums, to include Joe Houser from Buck Knives. You might learn more over there.

PPs From reading what was posted at Blade, it appears you have one of 75 known to be left untouched. Your blade is marked for 1988, so it was made in the first batch (or the blades were made in 88 and the knives assembled in 89.)

A Question, if I do in fact have one of the first 75 built (I think I do). Were they recalled ? If so than I might have one in less than 75. What do you all think ?
