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.

Knife withdrawn from private collection, like new, with original case - Model "made in Switzerland" made in collaboration with Klotzli in 1994 in about 1,000 numbered examples on the blade (about 500 plain edge and about 500 partially serrated) based on a design by famous American designer Michael Walker. Knife that combines two qualities difficult to match, especially in those years; lightness and sturdiness. Elegant gentlemen, easy to open and close with one hand thanks to the Liner-Lock system, invented by Walker himself. Peculiarities of this very rare production are also the engravings on blade and clip made by excision and not by laser.
