Description
The buck paradigm legacy knife represents one of the most distinctive collector releases in Buck Knives history. Produced as part of the prestigious 2013 Legacy Collection, this rare Buck 336 Paradigm was limited to only 150 pieces and customized by renowned knife artist Michael Prater of Painted Pony Knives.
Built on the innovative Buck Paradigm platform, this knife features a mirror-polished 420HC stainless steel blade enhanced with Michael Prater’s signature custom filework, engraved logo, and signature. Every detail reflects the artistry and craftsmanship that helped establish Painted Pony Knives as one of the most recognized names in custom knife collecting.
The handle showcases a stunning combination of Red Dino Bone and Mother of Pearl inlays, creating a presentation that is both elegant and highly collectible. Additional custom filework on the bolster further enhances the knife’s visual appeal and demonstrates the meticulous attention to detail throughout the build.
The Buck Paradigm is known for its unique mechanism, utilizing a tilting bolster release system combined with assisted opening technology. This innovative design helped distinguish the Paradigm from traditional folding knives and remains a favorite among Buck collectors today.
This example is individually serialized #15 of only 150 made, making it a scarce opportunity for collectors seeking significant Buck limited editions. It comes complete with its original walnut and glass display case, Certificate of Authenticity, Black Limited Edition box, and original Buck packaging.
