1) I like alliteration and consonance.
2) I decided to send Buck an email requesting a stockman with S30V blades, because I want a higher end steel on a traditional multi-blade knife; and because I like that Buck puts the straight edge opposing the main blade in their stockmans. And I guess because I don't want a big 'ol chunk of a traditional knife (I know about the Ranch Boss, and about the Case 154CM Trapper).
Well, I got a response from Sarah at Buck. She said they've been discussing adding the 300 series knives to their custom shop:
"Hi Drew,
Weve actually been discussing adding the 300 series knives to our custom knife shop, and if this happens, we will definitely offer S30V. This isnt something that will happen this year, but check back with us in 2018 to see the progress of this product.
Hope this helps!"
So that's cool. (I know there's a Buck subforum and I'm going to raise this issue there, too, because I'm sure there will be others echoing this sentiment, and those echoes can't hurt to push Buck over the edge.
3) Sarah's response came within 2 hours of my sending that email. Reminds me of when I emailed Case asking for something like a half whittler in 154CM. Got a response within a surprisingly short amount of time. I'd like to take this time to note that I have sent GEC something like 4 emails simply requesting a pattern be run or that 440C be used, and they haven't responded to any of those. They have been quite attentive when I've had problems with knives. But still, I at least feel appreciated when a company responds to my communications.
