I'd prefer a vanilla, black handled, 420 version actually. And I'd buy a half dozen (really).
I love the 121, but it's easy enough to buy the old ones on e-Bay in excellent and even near-new condition.....and if Buck started regular production on them a new one would probably be about the same price as an old one on e-Bay only you'd get stuck with 420HC instead of 440C.
However, I could sure go for a fancied-up Limited Edition 121 in desert ironwood and a premium steel and a good flap sheath......yes, I could--and I'd be willing to pay a good chunk of change for it, too.

I feel the power of ebay!!!!!
The value of my 9 or 10 121 collection is rising as we speak!!!
It's Hawkeye's fault!![]()
Now wait just a second Ratty, I think you are the one who was crowing
about them First!!!!!
But go ahead I can take it.
Lets see a 121 with some kind of wood scales , and BG42 no there out of that
how about s30v. Yea thats it.
Leather is good.I don't see anything wrong with the stacked leather!!!
Yeah I did...I should have just kept quite while I was trying to corner the market...
Then I went spouting off about those 805 SS ones. Thats about as close as Buck has come to what I would want in a fixed thin blade premium steel with wood. If it was only as long as the 121 I would be happier.
I didn't quite corner the market on the 805 SS ones so yall have at em..![]()
