My opinion, from the photos is ....just remembering the saying about opinions......is that it is an 'aftermarket' addition. Back when the Buck factory was in California, they operated a truly Custom Shop. You could just about get any knife modified in an way you wanted. Unless that knife came from that situation, I stand with my opinion of after the fact modification. It does not increase the collectable value any as it appears to be a well used knife. I classify these as 'odd-balls' and pick them up for the collection when I can get them cheap.
