Great info on Ebony and Bucks journey to bring it back to the customers
Sit back and we will tell you the tale of our journey with ebony. Back in the 60's when we introduced a little knife you might have heard of, the 110 Folding Hunter, it was decided that ebony would be the perfect complement to those beautiful, brass bolsters. Things were good for many years until practices of harvesting this tropical hardwood ran afoul of the law. This led to bans on importing most ebony into the USA. We transitioned to the best available alternative which was a resin-treated wood that was durable and classic looking. But, nothing could beat the real thing. A few years back, Taylor Guitars, a company located near Buck's previous factory in El Cajon, California, reached out about a new supply chain of ebony. We were immediately interested.
Taylor Guitars had been approached to buy an ebony mill in Cameroon, Africa. During the vetting process, their eyes were opened to the malpractices of the industry. Ebony is a slow growth tree, taking over 60 years to mature. Only about 1 in 10 trees produces the famous black ebony (which most people thought was the only ebony). Most trees have marbled patterns. There is no way to find out which is which until you cut into the tree. This led to the forest being stripped in search of black ebony. Add to this, low paid workers, corruption, lack of resources, etc. and they almost backed out the deal. This created an ethical dilemma for Taylor Guitars, as they knew backing out of the deal like that meant they would never use ebony on their guitars again.Taylor purchased the mill, named Crelicam, and quickly changed many things. Workers were given contracts and better working conditions, and they brought in new equipment from the USA. They realized the marbled ebony might be their preferred ebony for the gorgeous marbling. They started using it in their high end guitars and customers loved it. They partnered with research institutes to do one of the most complete studies of the ebony tree. They learned how to germinate and plant it. They partnered with locals to pay them to plant ebony as well as care for the trees till they reach a certain size.
Today they have created a model that is working. The raw ebony comes into Taylor's factory in El Cajon, California where it is turned into raw handle scales. These scales are then finished by our skilled craftsmen here in Post Falls, Idaho. We are happy to partner with Taylor Guitars to offer you genuine ebony on our classic products.

Thanks Jan, but I can get a new knife for $39! What to do what to do? So is Larry Oden the author? I wonder if BCCI has noticed this? I just searched the member list and didn't find his name, so I will send them a link to this, I'm sure they would take interest.

Harry, I don't know if Buck can replace the 470's blade, or if they'll exchange the knife for a similar current production model.
If you don't know, It is still under warranty, and Buck doesn't care if you are the original owner.
Try contacting them and see what they say.
You can send the 692 in for a SPA treatment, (under $10) and get it back looking like new, if you want.

My newest
C&C 110 SFO with 5160 blade and "oak" covers.

Syd Carr
Ugly Old Guy is right about Buck, a "forever" warranty means exactly forever to them, but like he said sometimes they can't replace or repair older models, especially those made by other manufacturers, (Camillus for example), but they will try to replace it with a model as close to it as possible.
Harry, best place to get Buck knives informally appraised would be the Buck Collectors Club, Inc
Facebook Group.
Another place would be one of the threads in the Buck Knives forum on All About Pocket Knives.
Don't believe prices you see on ebay, especially those with Buy It Now pricing, they are mostly posted by pawn shops who have no idea of what any knife is worth, they only want to sell them for what they think they should be worth, (which is most always too much). Keep in mind you will have to post detailed photos of the knives to get any idea of what any particular knife might be worth.

Dang Old Ugly Guy, those brass bolsters are awesome, and the oak handle is cool too, and you will love that 5160 steel. Nice knife, I am green with envy.

Looking good, very good! I have been meaning to get a current Buck family portrait, but it's so many knives, (30+ haven't counted for awhile), so little time to find them and arrange them.

You should do it. my bucks are mostly cabinet queens. I carry the Kalinga folder next to the fixed Kalinga and the three Impact autos. I would love to see your Bucks!
