A salute to SFO's and Dealer exclusives. Lets see 'em.

[GPyro]

This thread is dedicated to the Dealer exclusive and SFO/ Special Factory Order knives.
Not the Custom Shop knives, or the ones you can buy at the factory store.
This is dedicated to the knives that dealers had made special so they could offer us something different than the typical knife.

Thanks to them and all the great knives they have brought us thru the years.
And Kudo's to BUCK for their cooperation and what this program provided!

It was the existence of these offerings that ignited my passion for Buck knives and all the cool things that were available.

It would be great to organize these into one thread.
I'm interested to see what there was thru the years.
Thanks!

I'll start with a great 5160 124 offered by C&C.
I love the wood handle, and big carbon blades always make sense.

How about a 105 with s30v blade and red micarta handle?
I believe these were also available as a 102 and a 119.

They're gone now.
Sorta wish I grabbed the others.

Like lightweight folders?
Here's an aluminum frame 110.
Complete with drop point and a pocket clip.
I love the full size. It feels solid during use.
And it's pretty. Thanks C&C!

Thank you for your Kind words JB, the AG's are Sambar Stag made before the material got scarce. They also did a few with Ironwood.

(repost) Buck did a run of these in the Fall of 2017 for Smoky Mountain. Bone handle and nickel silver inlay with a long nic. I think it was a run of about 300 and did not sell too well since they were still trying to sell them in 2018. I do not understand why Buck persists in doing the script inlay upside down.

 

[DeSotoSky]

(repost) The Doctors knives have not received too much attention here. Probably due to their being ChinaBucks and an atypical pattern from our favorite knife maker. I kinda wonder if these were actually a Buck design or a project request driven by Smoky Mountain. Available in 4 scales (Black, Green, Brown, fake Stag) as well as 2 blade patterns (with spatula #228 and without spatula #227). That makes 8 variations total.. Shown here is the Green smooth bone.
