Buck 040 Onset Teaser

[Jeff of the North]

Nice knife!! Who else got the email? I'm in for at least one once they're available.

 

[Jeff of the North]

I have a sinking feeling that this will be another one they won't ship across the border though

 

[GPyro]

I like the shape of the blade.
So Buck is going to do a frame lock.
What do I do with my Kershaws?

 

[jbmonkey]

I like the look of it. prefer a bit longer blade, but good enough as is. I'll be in for one.

Very nice. I heard this was coming but wasn't sure when. Working man's Onset. Black G10, S45VN flat grind frame lock.

Looks interesting to me, so I'll probably give one a try. A bit of a "variations on a theme" vibe though, when you look at what else is in that drawer.

Also noticed they've restocked the 2021 124 Legacy Collection, for those who have been waiting for that one.

I'm digging it. I'm sure I'll snag one when they become available. I hope the detent is as good as the initial sneak peaks have said. I haven't been very impressed with the detent on the Sprint series.

I haven't seen any mention on the Buck website of the material used for the metallic side of the scales. The price leads me to believe it's stainless steel. I would love to see titanium.

If I recall correctly, I could have sworn they said "tumbled stainless steel" in one of the videos from the show I watched yesterday. I'll try to find it again to confirm.

yep on everything ya said.

its stainless. Jeff's right. Chris, the Buck marketing guy, said so at the blade show.

 

[Fixall]

Thanks for the confirmation on the stainless scale.

I'm gonna go ahead and grab one when they become available. I think the price is right for what it is. Maybe if it does well, we'll see it in some other flavors.

I feel very much the same but I'm still concerned that they won't ship it North due to the ball bearings.

A major retailer is now selling the Sprint 840 series up here though so there is still a chance.

damasteel shines like a mirror...kinda mirror finish with the damscus pattern showing. pics don't quite capture the beauty and shine it gives off. ive tried. I know it as I have a vantage in damasteel I got from ya Mike years ago.
