April BOTM ??

[sassafrassdogs]

yes Sir, I knew what ya meant....just heckling for fun.....

Ha!Ha! OK....I'm just not used to you doing that, you got my goat....Ha!Ha!

As good as those 800 race track 110 bucklites sold they should do a bucklite of the month as well.
Change the color or scale design and they will sell as long as they don't get crazy on the price.

Did you get 1?? I did and it's purdy cool, especially the sheath. I wish they did the same on the knife handle....

They would have sold out for over $150 each, but that does not mean that it is “worth” it! There are all kinds of knives selling for prices that I personally feel are way too high priced. Lemmings!

I stated that it was too pricey for me. I did not see the value in it. I love the 55 and I love micarta. The blade steel is good.

If I didn't just get a 501 in similar dress I might have jumped. Ebony would have pushed me over the edge. The 55 is a great size for pocket carry and great for most daily tasks. Same with the 503. And what! A drop point 55? I didn't know about that one until today. Well, this BOTM will be nice. I love the nickel silver bolsters. We will need lots of pictures!

Don - I got 3 and picked up another at the Oregon Knife Show so now I have 4. Long story but I have to pick up quite a few more if I can find them for a reasonable price.
My wife wants to give one to all her family members. Her maiden last name is Lewno (pronounced levin O) as in 11-O. So when she seen the stitching on the 110 lite race track knife
she immediately said 110 or 11-o. And she said I want these to give as gifts to my family members. I am only about 15 short. The hunt goes on.

Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha! If I had it in my hand, I would have bought 3 of them....Then go back and get three more, ect.....

That model 55 with the black micarta would have been mine if I had not just bought a 501 with buffalo horn covers a couple of weeks ago. it is just too similar to my /buck custom shop EDC.

Very nice knife!

I liked everything about this latest BOM offering but the price.

 

[Fixall]

Looks like mine just made it into town and will be delivered tomorrow.

I only live a state away, but that's crazy considering I chose standard shipping.

 

[Jim (OHIO)]

I live in Ohio I ordered on Wed 4/17 and mine is due to be delivered today

It's here!





I'm heading out to take a few pics right now.

Sorry for the tease earlier, lol. I wanted to get outside before the weather changed. Good thing too, it's pouring out there right now. Good old Pacific Northwest.

First off... The wooden box was a nice surprise! My last BotM came in a nice, but standard cardboard box. This is pretty cool.

Inside was another surprise. Buck sent a leather slip to go along with the knife. Awesome!

And here's the knife!

The Micarta on one side could be a little bit better. I thought it was a bit of leftover polishing compound at first, but after cleaning it up, it seems there are just some scratches in the Micarta (you can feel them with your fingernail). Kind of a bummer, but really not a big deal as this is going to be carried. The tip of the knife also isn't quite as perfect as I'm used to from Buck, but I like to set my own edges, so again... No big deal. Other than that, the fit and finish of the knife is excellent. Other than the tip, the grind is great. There are no significant gaps in the spring, and the blade also meets up well with the spring. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with it and am happy I purchased it.

I'm lucky enough to have some beautiful wetlands in my backyard, which makes for a nice place for pics. Go easy on me, I just used my phone and I don't pretend to dabble in photography.

There ya go. Hope that makes up for the tease.

Looks like a good place to go Hunting....

There are soooo many deer, duck, geese, and rabbits out there (and a crazy amount of protected birds). Even saw a bobcat once. They're pretty fearless too, it's like they know they're safe, lol.

They do, it was in the brochure they got when they crossed the fence....Just like our Southern Border...

 

[Jim (OHIO)]

The micarta on my knife also has scratches, I am disappointed. For the amount of money we paid, it should have been perfect!

I'm sorry i missed out on this one. I was out of town when they were released and missed it. If anyone picked one up and has had a change of heart, let me know and I will buy it.
