Here are some pictures from Buck Knives social media of the much anticipated new bucklite!
Some sort of plastic molded handle, a clip point blade(most likely 420hc), no rivets by the look of the pictures, and a lanyard hole!
Can't wait to get my hands on one!

I'm hoping to see a 112 lite come shortly after. I think a detachable pocket clip would be awesome too, even it it's just something clever set into the lanyard hole.
 
Looks cool. It will probably an inexpensive knife too. As long as it doesn't develop side to side play I think it will be nice. I'm set on Aluminum for weight and strength though.

Since I just know the good folks at Buck HQ in Idaho are dying to know what's on mnblade's wish-list, I'd like a 112 version, no pocket-clip (or at least make one easy for me to remove and throw away), and riveted construction. Buck Goodness at the intersection of Old School Street, and Modern Way!
 
Love it, looks exactly how I always thought the BUCKLITE should.
Glade they kept it simple and clean checkering is all it needs.

I don't care if this thing has a pocket clip thumb stud or adjustable pivot, I'll probably want one depending on price.
If it's not in the $30 or less range I've already got a standard 110 that's perfect.

I wouldn't mind blaze orange one bit, as long as it's not that stupid orange camo.

Ditto, over the years, how many "lightweight" 110 variations have there been in synthetics, and have any of them lasted that long?

The aluminum stuff from Copper & Clad is my favorite reduced weight 110 I've had.

I carried my bucklite max 482 every single day for two years without issue and it's still going strong.
Not everyone needs the lightest and strongest knife in the world.
Some people are fine using a lightweight knife as a light duty knife.
Not saying they shouldn't do aluminum or something, but it's a totally different ball game from this frn...ect synthetic material and shouldn't be compared.

I said that kinda wrong, I wasn't questioning their durability, I meant how long did they last in production, wondering if sales were that strong?

Oh ok, I get you.
I think they made them for a good deal of time, the original bucklite as well as the paperstone ecolites. Not sure how long though.
I'd say most people want the classic brass and wood like they had long ago or like their dad or grandfather...ect had, but the lightweight models seem popular enough.
