Did Buck ever make a two bladed fish knife similar to ones made by Case, Imperial, Queen, etc. like in the first photo? They made the large toothpick 386 as a special, but it lacked the scaler blade and dehooker. I thought I remembered seeing one at one time, but cannot find it or remember where I saw it.

They had a 2 bladed trapper believe one blade was a scaler and that was from the same run as that large toothpick with Bill Lowen.

In toothpick format couldn't tell ya, I've never seen one anyway.
 
Here is the ChinaBuck 387 FishPick exclusive to Smoky Mountain c.2014. Reminds me of the cheap little pocket knives I had as a kid. Part of the multi-year Hooked on Fishing series. Laser etched dyed smooth bone and a nickel siiver fish inlay. Notice the bail is shaped like a fish hook.

I used this piece of petrified wood on my front porch as a prop to take the picture.
While inside uploading a butterfly came to visit. You can't stage these kinds of pictures.
One of my favorites.

That may have been the one I saw. I could not find the model anywhere. According to this thread, you listed seven of the Bill Lowen knives that were SM exclusives. Photos of those models are hard to come by so if you have any of them, I would love to see photos.
 
This is the complete list. I know I have all of them but not sure about pictures.

382 Trapper
386 Large Toothpick 2012
383 3 Blade Trapper 2013

Nice! I'm talking about the 374 pretty sure it was a 2 bladed trapper with the scaler.

Wish I would of bought some of them the blue really pops but I think the China thing scared me off at the time.
 
I remember most of these from the SMKW catalogs but most notably the 386.

I really wanted a few of these that were featured in the SMKW catalogs, but at that time had no clue that they were made in China.

When I see a list, it grabs my attention. There is also a 287 Sowbelly Mr. Crappie, from 2018. Those Mr. Crappie are nice looking knives.

Here is the MR. Crappie,

I was taking some photos of this knife for one of Rogers SPS shows. I only got that far because when I pulled the knife out of the box and started to open it the tight spring pulled the blade down and cut the heck out of my finger. I have never taken it out of the box again, LOL.

It bit you? Sorry to hear that such a pretty knife has such an attitude.

There are quite a few knives that have been posted that I didn't know existed. It looks like they are not that common as I have searched the auction site but have been unable to find any current listings for some of them. I appreciate everyone educating me on these lesser known, exclusive knives.
 
I have one of those 386 large toothpick knives. They’re not bad at all and the blades are a full 4 inches with a locking main blade. The descaling blade has micro serrations and can cut a small tree limb lol

Edit, I meant that to be a 387 model.
