2019 BUCK Forum Knife

[skblades]

Alright! Let’s start with that Buck 212 with the Micarta handles! OH

I've already got that being worked on in the factory!

It's going to be Burgundy Micarta. That one is already set. I'd like to do a fixed blade for the Buck Forum vote though. Just trying to determine some models we might want to go with.

 

[sassafrassdogs]

I vote a 124....

I vote a 124....

Beautiful specimen of a knife! Pretty spendy though. As much as I'd like to do that one, probably out for these purposes. Unless we pre-sold 250 of them of course.

 

[sassafrassdogs]

How about a 101? I'm trying to find one that hasn't been done to death....

I'm up for that also.

I'd like to see a tricked out 118 with a upgraded blade steel and hafted in ebony and nickel with red fiber spacers.

 

[Old Hunter]

Yeah, I'll second the 118 special build - can you do a fixed blade in the CPM-154? The blades in my 2018 BF Traditional 301 are some kind of sweet! OH

 

[Makael]

I'm game for a 103 build. 5160 steel, micarta handle,

I like the look of the traditional fixed blade Buck like the 119, 124. It just seems to have the form that fits and feels like a part of my hand when using them. But most of the time I don’t need that much blade so I just got a 117 cocobolo and brass with 420hc and I really like it. Just the right size! I was hoping to find one with s35vn or s30v but doesn’t seem to be any but 420hc. The 118 is the same size with a bit more elongated clip tip and that might be a good build with upgrade steel and Micarta in a burgundy or mahogany color. Brass or nickel would look nice on the palmel and guard. I haven’t had a chance to hold the 212 in hand but they do look nice I’m just not sure about the blade length it looks short and stubby in pictures I’ve seen.

A 103 would be cool also...

 

[Fixall]

A 112 would be the bees knees.

*edit

102 not 112, sorry.

I'd go for this, too.

112 isn't a fixed blade....Besides that, IMHO want something out of the herd of "LE's"

 

[skblades]

I think we've decided on 3 models to vote from, all fixed blades. We wanted to choose some models that are doing well. The last time we did the 112, we designed a cool knife here, but it sat on my shelves for ages. 112 is fun, but not super cost effective when a nicer model is built. The 101 is not doing as well I'd like to see, though I was intrigued by it. I'm headed over to set up the first poll now!

 

[kossetx]

Steve, I wish you'd try to pre sale the 124. It's about the least produce le knife and I think it'd sell.

I someone gave me a 104 I'd find someone else to give it to.

That should have read 102 not 112, my bad.

I only wish the 124 was selling as well as the other 3 knives we chose for the polling. It's cool, but it's not a very hot item.

It has to be Sambar Stag to get my money. Or smooth bone like the Bass Pro knives. They are the only sets I’m still working on.
