She told me it was her husband's. He was a Highway Patrol man for Washington State, i believe it was. She said he wore this knife on his belt every day that he worked from the day he got it until he retired 17 years later. She said he considered it part of his uniform and he would not even touch it when not dressed for highway patrol.
The blade has the original edge and it likely has only made a 'couple' of cuts. Handle is finger groove. Tang is 110 with 2 dots on either side. I think this dates it about 1982-85.
The sheath is a "Safety Speed" Montebello, CAL. (before it became "CA" ?)
I really like this knife and i have a few questions:
does this sheath alter the value ? It is not the usual Buck 110 sheath.
does finger groove alter value ?
with the 4 dots blade is 425M steel. Are the older 440C knives more valued ?
To a Buck collector, is this quite a collectible knife ? or fairly common so limited value ?
Thanks for your help. I bet you like this knife too
