I haven't seen a catalog yet on Buck's website. Anyone have any ideas on what the Legacy knives are?
 
The 3 Legacy knives listed on the websites (212, 916 and 110) are not the 2021 ones they have in their catalogues. It's my understanding that you can't actually buy Legacy knives directly from Buck but only through their dealers. At least that's how it's been in the past. The catalog on their website is still the 2020 one. Can I get a link to the 2021 catalog from someone?

Just saw the 2021 catalog:

The Kalinga's OK with the burlap Micarta, depends on the price though. The 110 so so; I'm not too much into carbon fiber, screw together is nice... The 898 impact, meh. Looks like a dime store knife. The 124 with Crelicam Ebony and aluminum bolster and pommel , well, will see how much they want for that. I think for the price you could customize one that looks better. The 55 is again Carbon fiber (w/inlays it says), why would you pay extra for something that has no soul....

These knives are somewhat of a disappointment considering the knives offered in the past. 2020 hangover?

Make that 124 with 5160 steel and I would be all over it.
 
Entire 100 series except 124 avail in S35VN and Micarta including the Kalinga. New Paradigm models, Auto and Standard with S35VN. Take apart 110 with S45VN and Carbon Fiber Scales. 124 with Ebony.

not a whole lot but remember dealer only Buck Knives of the Quarter will be new. Each month will be a BOTM like usual.
 
I just enjoyed going through the 2021 catalog and price list. No new offerings or variations to the 300 series or the Vantage series...but I'm very grateful that the Vantage series remains. Sprint series is unchanged. Rival series is gone, as are the Inertia, Momentum, and Marksman series. Bantam remains. 110/112 slim series remains unchanged.

New Paradigm (in either assisted or auto in 2 G10 options) is absolutely BEAUTIFUL...but fairly pricy. Budgie is a high price for a small package. 100 series with S35VN and green micarta handles is breathtaking.

Several China models that look nice...and have ball-bearing systems.

As for me, I'll still stick close to the Vantage, 112, 300, and Sprint series. USA made and solid.

Still great to see Buck's 2021 models, gear, and outstanding products roll out!

Wow, just finished looking at the 2021 catalog... I'm underwhelmed.
301 and 303 only, no 305 or 309. Gotta go to the ChinaBuck line for other 300's.
The Paradigm locking bolster is back but not on the Vantage frame. Slimmed down with a tacti look. Makael show a picture above.
500, 501, and 503 still there but no 505.
I didn't see any BuckLites, did I miss them? Not as many colors in the 110/112 selects.
The Legacy series, or lack thereof is disappointing. A 124 with Crelicam handle and fancy steel and Kalinga with Burlap micarta... upgrades but not what I would have considered Legacy knives. More like the type of offerings we've been seeing with the BOTM's
I'm a classic type guy but I guess that is not the market anymore.

This slipped by me the first time around.... the Legacy knives will not be limited editions.
Each Legacy knife is specific to the year it’s created and marked with a date code stamp. New for 2021, we will not limit our annual quantity to a specific amount of knives, but will instead limit these heirloom pieces to calendar year of production.
