When I first spoted this auction, I didn't realize that this is the same seller that sold another damascus Buckmaster knife that is also listed here in the forums. Note that these are not the same knife and that there are some interesting differences between the two! This is an EXCEPTIONAL example of a rare and unusal knife!
Here is the knife ON EBAY!!! (http://www.qksrv.net/click-1671811-5463217?loc=http%3A//cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D2292708385) (NOTE THAT THE KNIFE IS SOLD!)
Edit: Knife sold for $1000.00
Here is the description:
Up for auction is this drop dead gorgeous and very rare Buck 184. This piece was custom ordered by a collector in 1987 from Buck's Custom shop in El Cajon California. The blade is of Damascus steel and the handle and guard material is made from stainless steel. The blade is stamped "Buck Custom U.S.A.". The knife was made to the same dimensions as the original production Buckmaster series. This knife has been lightly handled, but never used, sharpened or altered. It's 18 year old factory edge is still very sharp and is in perfect condition. This piece has been well cared for having lived in a safe it's entire life. It only came out for the occasional light coating of oil. I purchased it as an investment and hate to part with it but really need the cash. This is an opportunity to own a real collectors piece. I owned two of these knives and this one, the most beautiful in my collection is the last to go. If you are collector of BUCK knives or just a knife collector in general, don't miss this opportunity. I can almost guarantee you'll never see another one of these......and certainly not one with damascus as beautiful as this one.
