Further information:

Joe Houser, Director of Customer Relations, Buck Collectors Club Liaison, Company Historian. "The model 977 Black Knight dagger was only shown in Buck's 1992 and 1993 catalogs. There were only 10 made for the public during that time and they were all made of polished 425mod stainless steel with polished buffalo horn handles.

There were also about 16 more made as service awards to long time Buck employees. Of the 16, only 10 were made in damascus steel. The custom notes are not very detailed but there were maybe 5 of the 10 that had buffalo in the handles. Each of these 5 are uniquely different in one way or another. This particular knife is the only one with a fileworked guard and pommel."

This rare Buck Custom 30 Year Employee Award knife is in perfect condition.
