I bought my first Buckmaster long before I knew about all of the variations. I just thought it looked neat and I loved the small compass in the handle. It had the two small sheaths and the Silva compass also, which I thought was redundant. I learned that Buck sold an optional larger sheath and purchased one of them so I could put a folding knife in it and attach it to the sheath, as I had done with an early Kershaw survial knife I also own. Never really needed to survive, just thought all "survival knives" were cool. Also bought a Gerber BMF (use you imagination, as I never thought "Basic Multifunction Knife" was the truely intended name - only more acceptable in the marketplace!)
Anyway, pardon my tangential thought processes, to get back to the subject, the Buckmaster, and the attached sheath and Buck light weight folder got usurped in a divorce about thirteen years ago, along with the original box. I would swear I just saw it in the posting above.
To echo Andreas, could this be for sale at the right price? Write me at
