Re: buck date chart
Jacknifeben are you having trouble reading or deciphering the date chart Ken posted a couple of posts above? If you left click on the chart, it will enlarge.

Re: buck date chart
I have a buck 501 in old style lettering, how do you date that?

Re: buck date chart
The 501 first appeared in the Buck catalog in 1975. The early models had Red Bucarda (linen micarta) handle slabs but I'm not sure when they switched to wood.
Considering that Buck began using date symbols in 1986, your 501 was made between 1975-1985. Red Bucarda handle slabs would narrow the date down to 1975 or possibly a little later.
