Bucktool - What I should know.

[Bruce909]

Longbow,

There are a very few multitools that have a Holy Grail like aura and that particular BuckTool is that special. 

That is in fact my favorite multitool.

The BuckTool sheaths.

This is some pictures of various BuckTools and their sheaths. I do not have sheaths for all my BuckTools as some are not new in the box. The 360CL (Pocket Clip did not come with a sheath)

To start off with the original BuckTool 360 (no nail nicks).



This the 2nd year (nail nicks) and the sheath changed, it may have changed part way threw the first year. As far as I can tell the standard BuckTool sheaths remained the same for the duration.



BuckTool Sheath Special Projects and Variations.

360CM  (Camo)



360BKB (Black Oxide) Standard 360 sheath



360 Harley Davidson  Note the Bit holder pouch and Harley Davidson Logo.
I am not sure if these were done by Buck or after market. I will have to find out.





355 BuckLite tool   This is the only sheath I have seen for the 355.



350 Mini BuckTool  This is a "molded plastic" sheath. It came in two colors black and green.

Unfortunately I do not have boxes for all my BuckTools. I tried to show a sample of some of the boxes above. Here are some other packaging types.

thank you for the information. Your bucklite is interesting because the sheath says bucklite.  mine does not. I cannot tell from the picture if the sheath is constructed the same as mine.
in these 2 pictures the very last sheath is a hunter branded buck tool electrician. the second to last is a bucklite 355. it is my favorite sheath because instead of being sewn on both sides it raps the fabric around 1 side and its sewn on the other side. It makes the sheath smaller.

Man I do love these "info" threads. I'll sift through my Buck stuff and see if I have anything to add

I have four BuckLite 355s all have the same sheath. They all have the BuckLite logo and the wrap around sewn on one side style. Buck also used this style of sheath for knives so it is possible that Buck could have used the knife style sheath with a BuckLite to fill an order.

As for your Hunter named sheath and BuckTool, Buck sold 3500 of the 360 BuckTools to a company called Top Brand. The Top Brand resold these tools with a customer name or logo etched on the tool. When Buck sold these 360s to Top Brand one side of the handle did not have the BuckTool logo stamped on it. It does not mention sheaths but your hunter sheath could be one that Top Brands altered.

If your Hunter tool has the name etched on it could you post a picture of it. I would like to see a 360 that was done by Top Brand.

Does the snap on the sheath have the word BUCK stamped on it?
That is the first 360 I have seen with the print in that position.

[scrappy]

Yes, the snap says buck

Now for some interesting information on the really rare BuckTools. Now I am going to be a little tight with my information as I am still trying to find some of these models.
To start off is a 355 BuckLite factory blemish. These were stamped with a measuring scale on the handles. One side is supposed to be Metric Centimeters  the other side is  Standard Inches. One of the blemishes had Centimeters stamped on both handles. The other had Inches stamped on both handles. I do not know the quantities of each model made.
Unfortunately I can only show one side at a time so here is a picture of the scale for each model and you will have to trust me the other side is the same.
