This is my only knife that I own. It was given to me by my mom as a gift a few years ago. It hasn't been used. Only sharpened 1 time. How is this knife? The handle is quite comfortable in my hand.

USA made Buck. You're good to go.

And it says on the blade Buck Pro-Line. The blade says 392 near the handle.

Right up there by the 392 should be the date code which will tell you what year it was made. Compare with the chart below. Left click on the image two times to get it to increase in size.

You have a knife that you can depend on for the rest of your life!

Thant's good!

You hit the nail right on the head ken98k! I was thinking the same thing when i picked it up for him. It's a big beefy knife that will take alot of abuce.

Doing some re-photographing of my knives and thought I'd post up this one(or two).A Gerber set with the rough handles that are stamped Gerber on the underside and not the knife's name. The previous owner carved his initials into the leather(H.V.). Doesn't look like they were used very much.

The staghandeled is a NK from Gary Bradburn, one of the first knives i bought from the USA.
The other one is made this year to my wishes by Tony Mont from Greece.

Those are FINE Erwin!!
John

A couple of fine blades ya got there Erwin!!!

I just acquired this one on fleabay. I now have two of the four (or five) knives in this series.

That leather sheath is worth the price of admission Squatch. Beautiful.

Exactly Quick Steel! Beautiful.

Thank you gentlemen.

Those are great looking knives, bigbore.
That is so cool that you requested a tapered tang!
Great pictures, by the way.

Very beautiful knives guys! For my first fixed,
Do you know when you are on ebay and just browsing the listings, no plans to buy anything, just looking. And then you stumble across "something", then every thing goes blank. Your vision narrows, heart rate increases, drool everywhere, shaking uncontrollably, will kill anything that gets in your way of "IT". No mater you are just about broke from the big haul earlier, you have to have it Well it happened to me yesterday. Was on the bay browsing the listing, and I came across this one.
A Hen & Rooster 13 1/4", Diamond Edition, Custom, Limited Edition, 5 Star stag handle bowie with a Diamond Edition, Custom, Diamondback Rattler Snake Skin leather sheath. All I'll say it was a nice chunk of change, but not too outrageous, actually pretty reasonable compared to list price .
Here is sellers description copy and pasted,
We have a 13 1/4" HEN & ROOSTER DIAMOND EDITION CUSTOM LIMITED EDITION 5 STAR STAG HANDLE BOWIE KNIFE with a Leather Sheath that has RATTLE SNAKE SKIN on the front of it and is marked ***DIAMOND LIMITED EDITION *** Plus the designer signed the Blade & Sheath too. H & R has made several different styles of this knife the main different is the sheath ,- this sheath has WESTERN Diamond Back RATTLE SNAKE Skin, and others have Black Timber Rattle Snake Skin, Gator Skin on the front of the sheath it that you can plainly see, and it is thick Genuine Leather sheaths like this sell for $65..+ dollars the 1st few we got flew out of here These knives are being made in very small quantities. We also had some made of GATOR skin and Ostrich all of these knives are collectors knives but also made to use they are super strong and sharp. I've sold Hen & Rooster knives for 30 plus years and these are the very best Bowie knives I have ever seen come out of the H & R Plant.
Features;
A 5" Five Star Stag Handle, with a ton of natural stag left on the handle
Full Tang Construction
Blade is 8" long and the blade edge is 7 1/2" long, 3/16" thick, 1 3/4" wide, Clip Point
Sheath Rattle Snake Skin , Signed by the knife designer , Belt Loop, Leg Tie Down two pieces of leather with a antler tip
Lanyard Hole with a piece of Leather and another Antler Tip
THE BOWIE KNIFE AND SHEATH YOU SEE YOU WILL RECEIVE, IT IS OUR LAST ONE LIKE THIS.

These are collectors knives but they can be used they are built Full Tang Construction and are super strong and have a superior blade edge Premium Forged Steel German Stainless with a Mirror Polished Blade a 3" stainless Guard , and just the knife weighs 1lb 1.9oz. and with the custom sheath 1lb. 7.8oz. the model # of this one is HRDS-3107DS3 AND IT RETAILS FOR $495.95. We've sold about 41 of these Bowie knives that is with all the different sheaths. One thing we have found is Hen & Rooster is making these collectors Bowie's differently, some have a Rams Horn handle and some are Stag and they are almost done, H & R is out of several of these already or we would have them. The other different between these knives is the handles some are strait and some curved.
We will deliver one of these to your home for $179.95 and I do not know how long I can sell this knife for this price we were asked to sell them for $245.00 but they don't have MAP pricing yet so we are trying to give you a very fair price for a very collectable knife. Also because stag is a natural material some handles are thicker then others but they are all great, and the Bowie you are looking at you will receive. $$$$$$$$$$$$ FREE SHIPPING $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ BOX #19
WE THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU.
