Anybody see the 118 Build Out?

DocT · Jan 18, 2016

Has anybody noticed the 118 Build Out on the Web Specials section of the Buck site? Wow! I wish the local currency was not so weak. I would grab one of those in a heart beat! For now, all I can do is dream.

A couple of members bought this item and it was not as described/depicted. The knife is nickel not brass as shown in the photo. The website originally said it had a chip flint blade but it didn't. I see the ad now says nothing about chip flint but the photo still shows the knife as brass not nickel.

Here is the thread showing the knives received.

Also the knife is too expensive. Guys,

Repost of my pictures, it is a nice knife, just not what I thought I was paying for. I had originally intended to return it but got busy over the holidays and a bit too much time has passed.

Nice knife but too much money in my mind.

Very nice, but I cannot afford that. Any idea what the steel is?

I think the knife has a standard blade, made of 420HC steel.

That is some nicely colored fat stag DSS. Inventory shows four units remaining.
