This discontinued Buck Strider was made in 2011 and features a rare 889 arrow tang stamp. Joe Houser told us there were about 100 made like this. We acquired this knife directly from Buck Knives. It features a black 420HC blade with the original factory sharp edge. May have light scuffs, Buck was a little rough on these blades for some reason, so you may find what appear to be scuffs in the black oxide finish. (Please note - this knife is not a factory blemished knife.) This knife is new and unused in the box.
