It says initial, so I'm sure there will be more of some sort.
It would be a great knife.
Congrats to all that got one!

I was so excited that I was able to add one to my cart and step through the checkout that I forgot to add the 303 Cadet and 112 Slim Select that I've had my eye on. Looks like another order is in my future...
 
I can't tell the difference between these super steels, but I'm not harvesting chickens for the freezer. Speaking of Mr Martin, David have you ever tested this steel in real life?
 
Looks nice. By the time I came in from mowing and saw the email, they were gone. Y'all post up some pics when you get them.
 
Yeah I missed it too and kinda strange being released on Saturday. I was getting my weekly shopping done. But I’m thinking they’ll make some more and hopefully in clip point with brass bolsters. I like the looks of ebony and brass.
I’m interested in how well this steel performs as compared to s35vn and 20cv.
 
I passed on it, for me buck are behind times on the newer fancy steels. It’s the start of fading out S30v me thinks.
If the initial run came with documentation showing that it is the limited run of 88 then I would of purchased. Otherwise there is nothing to determine and no stand out characteristics.
Start of a new chapter well done buck
 
I had one in my cart but then my wife was standing next to me... that’s what happens when knives are released on a Saturday haha. Congrats to everyone else that landed one though.

Remember when they started "fading out" 420C? :D Or belt sheaths? Or brass bolsters some think are too heavy?

I don't think Buck is trying to keep up with everyone else, they are doing their own thing and haven't forgotten where they started.

I think they are offering some other steels because some of their fans are asking for options. I think that's great. And it beats the exhausting marketing campaign of trying to beat what you did last month that a lot of companies are doing these days, several even coming up with a new steel thats similar to several others they already offer.

Personally, if the steels Buck is offering don't get the job done, and done well, I'd like to know what the hell people are cutting with their knives?
 
This is a great sign that Buck is closely following the latest steel refinements.

I am sad these were gone so fast, but 88 is a pretty small number!

My opinion it’s not about it still being good it’s about there is always better.
Remember when the I phone first came out it the world SHUT DOWN as soon as the next model come out bang sold out. Buck should always keep up with the newer steels. Most folks buy as they believe newer is better

I love the weight of buck 110s but I also love the lightness of spyderco.

agreed, seems like they testing the water. They will be mass produced soon so I wouldn’t be concerned.

But, how much better? For mostly cutting cardboard or lunch?

Most people I know that use knives for hunting or outdoor hobbies like camping or even bushcraft use tool steels like 1095, A2, 01, etc. The reason generally ease of sharpening without special stones while in the field, strength, cost, etc.

I have no problem with newer steels for what they are. Honestly, I have owned and used several. But I just think most of it is trying to out pace the Jones's a lot of times. Kinda like people do with phones.

I couldn’t say, as I don’t use any of my knives. They are all “Sit and look pretty” . The world will always be out with the old in with the new. Business will always be left in the dust if they do not move with the times.

like you say bushcraft is slightly different but they use different steels for ease but there will always be that bunch of people who has the newest/modern knife who says “that’s not a knife “ little crocodile Dundee quote their.
