Hello, Can anyone tell me when Buck changed from using Micarta to Rosewood on the handles of the 500 series?
According to an article by Buck's Joe Houser, the change occurred for most of the 500 series models in 1980. For the 500, it was early 1981. The actual wood was not rosewood but stained birch.
