Ducks Unlimited BuckLite / Knife Combo

Picked this set up while trolling on the bay. Buck Knives has done several collaboration with Ducks Unlimited over the years. This is the first I have seen this set so I had to get it.
Research shows this set was produced only in 1999. The Buck Special Projects list shows a production quantity of 3000, how ever I have learned that some times these were on "projected numbers" not actual production quantities, so not sure exactly how many were produced.
The tool is a 355 BuckLite and the knife is a BuckLite 444 1998 date code, both etched with the Ducks Unlimited logo
The sheath is tagged "Buck 110 Made in the USA". I had picked up a sheath like this a couple of years ago at the factory wondering what else had been put in the sheath besides a 110. My thoughts were may be a flash light (Torch for all you UK members

). Now that I have this I will see if I can find other use for the sheath and post if I find info.
It is a nice combo but the knife is the same size as the BuckLite knife so it is a duplicate. How ever the BuckLite Tool knife is about 1/3 serrated.
The set is new and unused but did not come with a box.

That's a great looking combo set Mark, congrats on finding it!

I knew DU had done collaborations with Schrade and Gerber on specially marked tools, but I wasn't aware of this Buck one. Very nice.

Edit: Oooh, and great pictures too by the way! You've really done a nice job with that pure white background.

I like that set Mark. I use to be a Ducks Unlimited member but I don't do much duck hunting anymore.

Very cool set and find.

Ducks Unlimited has also done collaborations with Case, too.

That's cool... I'd definitely be messing about with the pouch though!

Thanks for all of the comments.
As I have said before my obsession has a lot to do with the quest. It is always good when I find some thing new to me.

nuphoria I do have another sheath like this one with out the DU logo. I have used it to carry a knife and flash light, maybe a multitool and flashlight would work well.
