$999.95
Up for sale is an extraordinarily rare, museum-grade Buck 119 Special from the exclusive "Buck Gold Series," representing a certified masterpiece of American cutlery history. This investment-grade piece features a fascinating, highly collectible factory background: it was custom-built using a vintage, "New Old Stock" (NOS) blade blank originally forged in 1990, as verified by the crisp, historic BUCK 119 X U.S.A. tang stamp. Buck’s legendary Custom Shop pulled this pristine 1990 blade blank directly from the factory vault in 2013 to craft a premium, mirror-polished run accented with a distinctive brass guard and pommel. This elite variant was commissioned exclusively for the Buck Collectors Club Inc. (BCCI) 25th Silver Anniversary Celebration event. Most importantly, this exact knife features unrivaled, legendary provenance, bearing a genuine, hand-applied signature from the late Buck Chairman, Chuck Buck ('13), who personally engraved it with his iconic vibro-engraver right at the multi-day anniversary celebration in Post Falls, Idaho.While many collectors look for a traditional paper Certificate of Authenticity, this highly exclusive internal vault piece transcends a standard paper certificate through its undeniable, built-in forensic footprint. As is standard for unique museum assets pulled directly from factory holdings for the club, it does not feature a generic paper insert. Instead, its ironclad authenticity is permanently stamped into its rare 1990 NOS steel, verified by the distinct freehand slant of Chuck Buck’s well-documented personal signature, and certified by the original, thermal-printed factory label on the box end identifying this as a literal "ARCHIVE KNIFE." Hardcore Buck aficionados instantly recognize this specific internal inventory label format as the ultimate stamp of factory vault provenance, proving this exact package was hand-selected by the company to represent the pinnacle standard of the historic 2013 run.
This knife has been safely tucked away in climate-controlled storage for over a decade and remains in absolute mint, unused, and unsharpened condition. The mirror-polished blade flats, deep hollow grinds, and factory edge geometry are entirely flawless and free of any sharpening or carry marks. To maintain total transparency, the premium brass guard and pommel display a beautiful, natural golden-brown tarnish (patina) from its 13 years of undisturbed storage. In strict alignment with serious collector preferences, this historical patina has intentionally not been polished or chemically cleaned, leaving its original, unmolested state perfectly intact for the next owner to admire or preserve. The knife includes its original archive-labeled box, factory paperwork, and the flawless black leather sheath.
Please inspect all pictures to take in the condition for yourself before purchase. This piece ships fast and free, secured and insured! Related Items:
