2026 Buck Catalog & SHOT Show

[revnewk]

With SHOT Show 2026 rolling around in less than 2 weeks, does anyone have any early looks and pictures of new 2026 Bucks from the new catalog?

 

[GPyro]

I believe Buck had last years catalog out by now.

Nice. I heard about this lineup with pricing in November, but didn't want to get in hot water with Buck (which has happened to some others in the past). Glad to see a reseller breaking the ice with Buck.

Dang!! I like every one of those new models. Especially the slim 112. Bravo Buck!!

This is gonna cause me to suffer deep introspection as I wrestle with whether or not I believe, with firm conviction in my core, that the Heritage Slims should also have thumb studs.

I'm now torn on whether to jump immediately on the slim 112 in nickel, or wait for the eventual Stealth or BOTM in this version.... or custom...

That’s a very practical thought but as I get older, right now seems more and more like the right time to buy.

Amazing, rival22! Thank you for posting this KC video!!!!

I'm definitely down for the 112 Heritage Slim.

The Mustang caught my eye as an upgrade of the Spitfire in every way.

Even the two imports seem to be a nice touch.

Well done, Buck! I'm looking forward to all the SHOT Show videos next week as well.

Short roundup...

- Slim Heritage Elite 110s and 112s are obviously the most exciting... Both offered in brass/ebony and nickel/ebony. Magnacut as well. I didn't add an image, but the pocket clip is shown on the video thumbnail above. Looks like same thinness as the Stealth version offered last year.


- The new 724 "Mustang" is intriguing. Basically the evolution of the 722 Spitfire. A few colors, but wanted to show the pocket clip below which is such an improvement over the 722. Bead blasted Aluminum, 420HC, 3.25" blade, USA Made. KC's site has them at $74.99, so a good all around "user" knife. It will be a good platform for a BOTM (or custom) as well.

Last of the US Made, a mid-tier "Backcountry" Alpha line - 662, 663 & 664 ($85-$95). 420HC, VeraFlex rubber handle, Kydex sheath, and our friends get to use the cerakote machine . The bronze is a cool color here though. Good, useful hunting line that doesn't break the bank. More visually appealing than the previous "Select" line, plus the better sheath.

Also a couple nice looking imported crossbar lock knifes. 700 drop point, and 698 with reverse tanto. Aluminum handle, D2 blade. Personally won't be in the market for these, but the lines on the drop point one look cool, and the blade shape/swedge on the reverse tanto, looks a little 940 Osborne-ish to me. $74.99 which is a little odd, putting them at the same price as the US made 724.

I'm trying to figure out how the nickle version of this is different from the stealth run from last year. Looks pretty much the same. Perhaps slightly more rounded?

Everything seem like real improvements, so well done Buck. Hopefully the 112 slim with not be too expensive for my now greatly reduced budget.

I think they are the same. Maybe the clip is different?

Looks the same to me... Obviously the Stealth was a test run, but in retrospect, they probably should have used a different wood inlay or something to differentiate it a little bit.

I like the new slims.
I think they are a great addition to the line up.
I'd have been happy with a 420hc version. It would be more affordable as I doubt any BCCI incentives will qualify anytime soon.

Pre-order from the above video source!!

Need a slim heritage elite finger groove version.

 

[knucklegary]

Is Knife Center the only outlet to purchase?
I'm not viewing the new slim models on Buck site.
Is Buck and KC in partnership with each other, both are located in VA?

This bugged me a little bit after watching the video. If you can make the 724 Mustang with 420HC in the U.S. for $75, why are you importing the Chinese made 700 Nomad and 698 Ferrox in D2 and selling them for the same $75? Maybe it is a capacity issue at the Post Falls plant? Are flippers more expensive to produce? I wasn't really impressed by the Chinese made D2 Stinger and Ruckus that Buck released last year. They have the Buck name on them, but Chinese made D2 steel flippers for around $50 are not that impressive. Every major knife company makes them along with all of the Chinese knife makers.
