Buck, relocated to Idaho, is really back on track and once again a leading name in the American knife industry. They have added the very rare and precious Paua shell, the abalone from New Zealand, to their Model 500 Duke to create this limited knife for A. G. Russell. The handle scales have to be meticulously created from thin layers of the shell in order to furnish pieces large enough for a knife like this - expensive, but beautiful.
Measures 4-1/4" closed with a 3" blade of 420HC at 57-59 Rc. This is a lockback with mirror polished pressed stainless steel bolsters and liners. Weighs 4.7 oz. Ships with a wooden display box marked with both the Buck® and A. G. Russell™ logos. Made in the U. S. A.
