There's this new folder from Buck that is up for pre-order over at Knifecenter: https://www.knifecenter.com/item/BU...in-blade-black-injection-molded-nylon-handles

BU0364BKSaa.jpg


What's interesting is that a quick google search for this model returns nothing except KC's link. Even Buck does not list this model in their homepage. Any opinions on this? it looks like Buck took both the Bantam BBW and the Quickfire and squashed them together to come up with the 364.

Edit: Uggh, pinned pivots and handles.

Pins yuck. No go

I don't like them, but I don't dislike them either. And since i only go for folders with blade lengths <= 75mm and my sweet spot is generally < $25, I'll take what I can get.

I do find pins to be less of an issue in lockbacks than in other folder types.

I can agree less of an issue in lock backs but a pinned pivot I can't stand. One reason why I'm not a buck 110 fan.

Buck 384 Rival 1.

*sorry, couldn't resist.
 
I am not suprised that Buck does not list this knife on their website,there are alot of models that don't show up on their website.
As far as pinned pivots and handles go, just look at the price point.I don't see anything to complain about at that price.
Been carrying a Buck 482 at work for the last year or so and I like it.Just my 2 cents.
