??Buck 110 Release Tomorrow (01/10/2022)??

[SteveFord]

That Mango Bird sounds kind of ominous.
I'm picturing a carnivorous Toucan Sam with a serrated beak.

 

[Your Name Goes Here]

Maybe whoever produced the video (or designed the knife). Like an artist secretly signing their work - mango bird ?

 

[BennyBlade]

Is that supposed to be "delete"?

No it's de le te... French for "I made a mistake."

 

[BuckShack]

I found this on the Mango Bird:

When it comes to birds, “mango” refers to hummingbirds in the genus Anthracothorax. All seven mango species are large as hummingbirds go, with long, slightly downcurved bills and rounded tails.

Could we be looking at the first 110 with a WHARNCLIFFE blade?

 

[BennyBlade]

Really can't stand speculation, but the mango threw me. Stealth had me thinking it would be all black. The ad says the release is stealth, possibly this year they will release a few unpromoted knives?

Now I'm going to guess black blade, black bolsters and mango wood handles. I think that would look pretty sick.

Niobium is #41 on the periodic table of elements. Hardness rating near titanium.

New guess: Niobium 110 with mango handles.

Also, why is there no redacted information beside the line for "Ability to be resharpened:"?

 

[GPyro]

Buck keeps saying "think simplicity"

And black blade guesses get a reply of "close."

Maybe a 5160 with patina.

Buck likes to Cerakote everything, and they say it's something new, so I'm hoping it's not that.

I'm liking a wood handle.

Mango bird...magnacut I'm still sticking with it

 

[GPyro]

Oh, I forgot.

Expensive.

In the diagram of the knife the front bolster, the lock and most of the blade is blackened out. Could it be a fixed blade? Or maybe a new method of pinning the blade? Maybe they've made a 110 with a removable blade?

 

[TAH]

Great! With all this talk of Mango wood, I keep singing along with James Bond.

 

[Jeff of the North]

Scratch the fixed blade comment. I just realized that there is a folder-style sheath in the photo.

 

[Jeff of the North]

Buck released a very stealthy 112 September BOTM last year and I recall that I said it would sell very well if they released a 110 version.

I believe on Facebook they mentioned this was just something extra they were doing in addition to the normal BOTM, and that it was just something simple. But I agree that a buck 110 in the same configuration as that 113 would make a great BOTM, maybe this year.

With hummingbird acrylic slabs....

True but what is more simple than a plain Jane 110?

I tend to overthink everything...

Everyone but me probably noticed this right away, but releasing a 110 on 1/10 is a clever idea

Not until you said it, It's 110 day!
