BUCK 2009 Mid-year releases

[Larry Oden]

I have just received a brochure of the 2009 mid-year releases. Some of you have received scans in your email. I especially like the WBC Customs in cocobolo and malachite with file work and mirror polished blades. The models chosen are the 503, 110 (yes!) and 923 skinner. The 923 has ATS-34 steel - Buck must have had some leftover blades they wanted to get out of inventory. These knives are stunning in appearance. However, they are only doing 150 of each knife. These will be collectors' gems right away. I think the demand for the 110 will far exceed the supply.

Another interesting offering is the Chaiman 300 Series "designed with ComfortCraft" touting "extra attention to detail and hand finished so they fit comfortably in your pocket and in use". Handles are cherry dymondwood with Chuck Buck's signature lasered into the handle. There is no escutcheon or shield but the inlays are riveted. I only wish they had also used an upgraded steel.

Another surprise is the reintroduction of the model 288 Catapult, now renamed "QuickFire". This assisted-opening knife comes with a blue or a black molded plastic handle. Buck pulled the plug on the Catapult in 2007 due to performance issues. I do not know if they solved the original design issues or totally changed the assist mechanism.

I just ordered a couple. I ordered the Paradigm Pro and one of the Quickfires. Can't wait to get them. I like the ASAP openers now that I have tried a few.

I cant wait for the TOPS/BUCK folder. Model TBT-001 liner-lock folder (with a .065” liner), with a G10 handle that is a variation on those from BUCK's rugged Bravo and Bravo Rescue models. It's planned for a September launch. I love the tanto style and this one looks like it it built tough as heck...
