I'm curious about the Bucklite III (0426BKS-B) currently priced at just $18 on Buck's Web Specials. The zoomed image of the blade shows "110" vs "426". If that is representative of what the factory is shipping, should these be considered as build-outs, i.e., Bucklite 426 GRP handles in combo with newer 110 blades? I don't see a date code stamp on the illustrated blade. If these are fully Made in USA components, it seems like a great value for a lighter weight knife with known blade quality. The special price of knife with included sheath is not much more than $12 cost of a 110 nylon sheath alone. If so, kindly reply in the affirmative before buying 'em all up as stocking stuffers.

Thanks Oregon, for the picture... I never did buy one of them I have an older one with a 501 blade... I haven't seen you on the forum for some time... I hope all is good with you... ITE
I've never seen the NIB, first string, survival orange 424s advertised for sale anywhere. It was puzzling to find them. This size, same as 501 Squire, has become a favorite of mine since the Canadian Tire promotional knives brought back this Bucklite from the hands of time. I was tickled to find the orange variation available.

All is well. THX.
