Buck Knives Whitetail Deer Collectible Model 193

This is a fixed-blade hunting knife manufactured by Buck Knives as part of a limited collectible series. The item features a full-tang construction with a drop-point blade made of stainless steel. The blade is etched with the 'BUCK' logo and the model number '193'. The handle is composed of light-colored natural wood scales, likely oak or birch, secured with two brass pins. A circular black and gold 'Buck Knives' emblem is inlaid into the center of the handle. The knife is presented in its original display box which features a red flocked or velvet-textured molded insert. Adjacent to the knife is a silver-toned metal plaque titled 'WHITETAIL DEER COLLECTIBLE', commemorating the outdoor tradition and identifying Buck Knives as a leader in knife collecting since 1902. Regarding condition, the blade shows significant surface wear, including scratches, scuffing, and possible light pitting or adhesive residue. The handle appears to be in good structural condition, though the wood grain shows natural variations. The red display lining shows some minor indentation from the knife's weight. Given the model and branding, this item likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century and was marketed as a gift or commemorative set rather than a heavy-duty field tool.
