>>> A Buck Mystery <<<

This Precision Oiler Pen was found inside the box of
a 1982 Mini-Crock Stick, #140. The original owner
remembers it being inside the box upon purchase.
There was no extra labeling to indicate it being
included inside the box.

At this moment, it is unknown if it's an actual Buck
product. Could this be a sample mock-up from the
original manufacturer showing what they could
offer Buck Knives? How did it end up in the
Mini-Crock Stick box?

After an exhaustive search of the internet, I cannot
find another one or any further information on it.
Most of the Buck organization members I've
shown it to, do not recognize it either.

Have you seen another of this specific item, be it
marked Buck or another brand?

Could it have been part of a promotion with
the new Buck Gun Oil?

If you have any further information, please drop
me an email, the address can be found at the
bottom of this page.

Schrodinger's 110  1987
If you know the thought experiment of 'Schrodinger's Cat', this is the same paradox. This packaging began
to show up on store racks in early 1987. I had purchased one that the packaging was badly damaged on.
Upon removing the knife, I found it to have the date code stamp for 1986 (86V2). So, with leaving this
knife in the package for now, we do not know if this 110 is a 1986 or another year.

** All dates are approximate.  There were no specific records kept before date codes. **
