I wonder if the LEs will hit the website before BOTM this month. I'm hoping for a carbon compadre with cool scales. Possibly 3 shades of laminated micarta...

A knife completely made only of Cerakote.
I think they should do some non-Cerakoted thing to celebrate the reintroduction of the 117.

I don't like Cerakote, either...
I wonder if they do so much of it as a cost saver, so they don't have to finish the knife as well.

They sent me a 10% discount for signing up to SMS and so I decided to try it on the March 2023 BOTM. No dice, as I suspected.

I don't see any Cerkote on it.

Unfortunately discount codes do not apply to BOTM, LE's, CKS or Cutlery.

Yes, I knew that going in. I was testing how well the programmer did.
Works for me! I just want a Buck American made toothpick!

I doubt if they even have the tooling for anything other than the Stockman and Cadet. I did buy the Burlwood 300 series but that isn't good enough for BOTM. Wouldn't mind seeing the 700 series come back but that would be more than one. I wouldn't mind seeing something in buffalo horn, elk, or stag.

Case has a lot of them.
It seems Buck conceded the slipjoint market to Case. They probably weren't making a good profit margin, which is why they outsourced a lot to China. How about a Buck Barlow or 5 blade Canoe?

Buck made one years ago, called California Toothpick, model 333. They are sometimes available aftermarket. I would love one as the BOTM!
Here's mine...

All I can say is the April BOTM will be a sharp, stainless steel blade that may or may not fold but definitely no Cerakote this month.

OK, thanks...
I haven't seen any photos of the Burlwood series out in the wild yet. Hint, hint...

No mention of any sort of wood, micarta or G10 for handles. Was that intended or would you be so kind as to maybe tease us a bit with a hint?
