5160 102 woodsman

[Hickory n steel]

Anyone know if C&C is going to get them back in ?
I'd especially like the cocobolo version, the price definitely seems right at $60 if it was in stock.

I don’t know about them getting them back, but I will chime in to say they are great knives!

like any business if they sold well I'd expect they'd get restocked quickly. if they didnt I'd expect they wouldnt. I didnt keep track how long they sat for, before being sold out. so I dont know.

that said I'd expect prices would be a bit higher this time around, but I dont know for sure. I just see prices in cutlery in general have been rising over the years. course this cornavirus disaster may change that as time goes on? we'll see.

I asked two day ago about the 103 in 5160 and when they expected to get them back in stock.

What the difficulty is, they did not say.

No 5160 coming in to Buck because of the pandemic, and they ran out?

Buck isn't running as many lines because of the pandemic?

I'm guessing whatever the reason for the difficulty, it has something to do with that daRn Covid-19.

Question:

Will we now note years as "BC-19" and "AC-19" for before and after (presuming of course that there is an "after") this Covid-19 pandemic?
