Help dating a Buck 124 Frontiersman

[kwackster]

A few days ago i bought this Buck 124 Frontiersman from the unsold stock of a long gone knifestore.
It is still new & unused & came in most likely it's original box with papers.

Since it doesn't have a year code am i right to presume the knife was made between 1982 and 1986 and that the steel used is 425M ?

That looks exactly like one I just got, complete with all paperwork and box. It was discussed just a bit in post #13 and #21 in this thread.

Kwackster, I agree with Tele.'s assesment in the thread Plumber gave . I have the same knife and mine looks just like yours and Plumber's . Handsome knife . DM

That is a right handsome knife. Beautiful handle.

The 124 Frontiersman sure is a fine example of what Buck is capable of making.
