KNIFE PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED, FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION
* Provenance: Acquired from a private individual, previously purchased
* Condition: Overall in excellent condition; shows no signs of actual use. It does, however, have the typical scuff marks caused by inserting and removing the sheath, which inevitably abrades the satin finish of the blade; these marks are superficial, uniform, and characteristic of this particular knife model. The sheath is in excellent condition, with minimal signs of abrasion and no breaks or sagging. It comes with an additional nylon pocket with Velcro that contains the original vintage oil-lubricated compass.
* Commercial availability: Discontinued
* Sharpness: Factory-sharpened, but could be improved. Not re-sharpened to preserve the product’s original appearance.
* Marks on the blade: Several superficial abrasion marks left by the sheath, typical of this particular knife model
* Marks on the handle: A few barely noticeable signs of age
* Box: -
* Sheath: Present, in excellent condition, with an additional nylon pocket containing the original period oil-filled compass
* Manuals, Certificates, and Warranties: -
* Inspected and Certified by our in-house laboratory

The most distinctive—and patented—feature of the Buckmaster Buck 184 is the presence of two removable, screw-mounted harpoons, or hooks. Their primary function is to provide an anchor point: the knife can, in fact, be used as a sort of throwing hook by attaching a rope to the ring on the pommel. The manufacturer claimed the grappling hooks had a holding capacity of up to 600 pounds.

In the case of the Navy SEALs, the requirement was for a knife that could also be used underwater and, if necessary, allow for the anchoring of equipment or vehicles to a submerged anchor point. This specific requirement contributed to the choice of an all-steel construction, designed to offer strength and durability even under harsh underwater operating conditions.

The Buck 551, often known as “King Charles II,” is a vintage folding knife produced in the United States between the early and mid-1990s in limited quantities.

Appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts of historic American knives, it is a more compact version than other Buck models from the same period, designed for everyday use but with careful workmanship and reliable materials. 

The 420HC stainless steel blade offers good edge retention and corrosion resistance, while the laminated wood scales with polished steel bolsters give it a classic, understated look that echoes the style of traditional Buck knives.
