I have at a local shop a 1984 BuckMaster, one of 2600 made the inagural year. It is free of the Pat. Pending stamp, which means it is a true 1984 model. The knife is in OK shape, few marks, but no rust/major dings etc. The compass is sitll in the handle, and the sheath is in decent shape. The price is $400, $360 if I pay cash. What do you guys think?
Heres a pic of a Buckmaster, not the one I am thinking of buying:

Hmm..if you have the money to splurge on this one go ahead. But there's just some better knives out there that is much cheaper and serves the same purpose as this one. I suggest you make more research but if this is what you really want then go for it.
