Exciting stuff just ahead of next week's OKCA annual meet in Eugene, Oregon. I hope that Joe Houser brings at least one of the new S30V Alpha Dorado 271s. The newsletter couldn't be any better, thank you authors and BCCI. There is nothing like the crisp colorful photography of the dealer catalog short of seeing the product line in person. What fun. Love it. :D

Thank you Geddinight from my favorite place in the world the Andirondacks (SP). You are lucky, lucky and lucky to live in vicinity to such wonderlands.

Page 45 of the dealer catalog shows all of the Spitfires, 722, including the "added color pop in spine of each knife." The green-handled one has orange spacer aft of the lock release and the orange one has gray and lastly the gray one has orange. Assembly folk must be pulling their hair out mixing up the colors like this but they look real good like that.

No green inserts...

These cool folders make me hope that Joe Houser brings some of these beauties with him from Post Falls next weekend to OKCA. :)

I've got all three Spitfires but somehow I overlooked the new rosewood and brass 300's. I'm really liking the 301.
 
The 301, with brass and rosewood, is very presentable. It looks rich to my sore eyes.

Got my catalog in the mail two days ago.

The package was already opened, but everything was still inside. Maybe someone at the PO placed an order. :)

Hoping Buck has a LE Cocobola Hoodlum laying around Post Falls the end of July when I'm out there. I would love to use up one of my BCCI purchases on that just so it can sit around the house and be admired.

I have some of the first Hoods/Woods stamped Hoodlums and I think one of the Ron Hood stamped Hoodlums. The Ron Hood Stamped Hoodlum will be my user for trail maintenance this summer. :thumbup:

Thanks for the photo. Yes, "rich" is a good way to describe it. Haven't researched it but off the top of my head I can't think of another 300 series with brass bolsters, at least outside of the LE or Special Projects. Thinking I might should pick up all five models and make it a set.

The circumstances, the story, the journey, the discovery, well, the setting in which opportunity presents itself and your attitude/state of mind can create powerful incentive to acquire or shed material possessions. For example, and what if, after enjoying the graceful and enchanting company of Mr. & Mrs. Chuck Buck's at lunch at their wilderness homestead Chuck leans into frey and exclaims that he can't stand to do the dishes anymore and pleads his case for the attendees to take their dirty cutlery away with themselves and the steak knives used were LE Cocobola Hoodlums... Ahhhhhhhhhhh. It could happen. Yes it could. Magical thinking, perhaps, but my kind of fun.
 
300, Those are handsome models with rich looking handles. A good photo. Oregon, I like the early Odyssey laying beside the recent Buck catalog. DM

Okay....I'll be thinking "magical", but will be more than happy if I come away from Post Falls with one of those LE's that I purchased. :)

I enjoyed meeting and talking to Ron so much at Blade just before he passed away that I decided I was going to get one or two of those Buck/Hood Hoodlums.

Thanks for the picture!!
 
I also just got my big brown envelop with the Buck 2013 Catalog, Buck price catalog, and BCCI Newsletter. Thank you BCCI:thumbup:

You have a good eye and terrific taste in cutlery sitflyer. That excellent 182 from 1998 is courtesy of the erudite, gentleman/rancher who can hold an adult coyote off the ground at arm's length with one hand and the man who gives new meaning to the word "generous" David Martin (AKA Desert Dave) who I hope lives for a thousand years. Thank you kindly David. You are all right.
