2 Questions for Buck

Buck sure proved with the 2018 Traditional Forum 301 pocketknife that they can build a first class pocketknife with the very best producers out there. The only issue must be the size of the potential market nowadays. If they build some I will buy some. If they keep ignoring the market the few of us traditional buyers left will keep buying other well made brands (Case, Boker, GEC - if you can find one, and good knives still for sale made by defunct companies). OH
 
The sad part is that I truly believe there IS a big market for them. Nearly every big box store, hardware store, sporting goods store, mom and pop shop, country store, home store, and western store ALL have Case displays. I wouldn’t think all those folks would keep Case knives on hand, in displays, if they weren’t being bought regularly. I really feel like (aside from us knife nuts) Buck has been totally ignoring a huge market for quite a long time. And 420HC is way better than “Trusharp.”
