All About Pocket Knives

After I handled Brandys 722, I knew I had to have one.. Choose the Thin Blue Line in support of all the LEOs out there and especially my son and daughter..
Sooo.. You could buy one in support of LEOs.. And that is worthy!!

Hello All, I just received a 2000 Buck 505 Malachite without the box so I don't know if it's a 505-SS4-0 or a 505-JCP3-0, does anyone know how many where made? It's a beautiful knife it'll look great next to my 505-JCP1-0! I'm thoroughly addicted to the 500 series. Thanks. Butch

So you're not going to show us a picture of it? That's just mean.

Yea mean

Sorry about that, i'm ashamed to say that I don't know how to post pictures! I'm not into tech stuff, i'm an old gunsmith shoot i'm lucky to be able to do pics by email! My sincerest apologies folks. Butch

Last week, I posted a picture in the 500 Series thread, but hadn’t actually purchased it until I went back two days ago.

“It” is a Duke, 500 made in the early ‘80s.
Has light handling marks but, appears unsharpened and was initially slow-closing at end of “snap.” After a couple dozen or so openings & closings, the snap has greatly improved.

It’s my 4th in the 500 line, but my first Duke.
I offered $30 and the seller took my money.

Uploading pictures to AAPK is as easy as buttering toast. The Tips & Tricks Forum has threads devoted to uploading pictures from most every kind of device with step by step instructions so that old "I don't know how" we see so often just won't hold water. ---► viewforum.php?f=98

Bill, i am not a Buck collector but i think your Duke is likely worth double what you paid. The handles look to be wood so not as valuable as the earlier Duke with Micarta handles. I think yours dates 1982-85. The Duke is one of Buck's best patterns, a Gent's 112.
If i am off in my value assessment i hope someone corrects it.
