August BOTM? Taking all bets! <<8/24: 101 Richlite 154CM>>

Some stats over the last 67 BOTM releases. Surprised that we have had more S30V vs 420HC. Really hard to believe we have only had one offered in 5160. MagnaCut may take the lead someday. 👓:eek:

Did some Blade Forums searching to populate release dates for all 67 BOTM releases. Now we have the day of the week released data.

Awesome info - thank you ! Small request for next years update. Please add a column to list the knives by numerical model #.

I was sorting by quantity, but could do by model #. Quantity shows how the 112 gets way too much love and the 124 is treated like a red-headed stepchild. 😆

I sorted the tables in the BOTM sticky post.

Thanks Tecate.
Anything pertaining to that subject is entirely fine by me.
That whole thread has become an amazing resource because of contributions by folks here.
I'm just some guy that brought up the subject.

😁
 
So far haven't seen the correct answer. Not even the model.

If not this month, sometime in the future I'd like to see a 503, with premium steel - something Buck has never offered! We've seen The 55 as BOTM 4 times, but never it's Princely brother. I wouldn't mind if it was wearing glasses and barehead ebony handles. Call it the Li'l Larrin.

Either that or give us a Saunter with a lockback...
 
So apparently we can rule out all these models.

O.B.
I don't see a 301 on that list. Maybe it'll be a magnacut 301. Uff da. That would be a tough one to pass on.
 
Since we've all guessed wrong, I'll shoot for the moon!

446 Goliath Slim Pro, Magnacut steel and woven carbon fiber grip scales. Will also settle for paperstone.

I might even pay stupid money if that's right.
