This one really intrigues me. Looks like a great lock-up and the 154 CM steel is a definite plus. So far scored the folding Alpha Hunter and the Buck CSAR folder but this one looks like a great EDC. knife. Watched a video and the blade appears to deploy very quick. Can you pros offer your opinions and other facts I may have overlooked checking this beauty out. Does look rugged and very appealing. Yep this knife collecting is addicting.

One of the most underrated EDC options on the market right now. VERY high fidget factor, as the lock is fun to mess with and the flipping action is among the absolute best in the production knife world. SKBlades is having a limited run made with an S35VN blade and OD green G10 scales. Can't wait for mine, but reports are those won't be out until May.

It's hands down, my favorite EDC knife. Fast, one hand open/close, great blade shape, lightweight, good steel, etc... Your other knives will be jealous and suffer some separation anxiety.
There are a lot of adjustable fasteners. It took me a little while to get mine tuned to my liking.
It's a departure from the traditional Buck for sure.
As Insipid Moniker mentioned, SK Blades is collaborating with Buck to make a G10 handled, S35VN model. I'll be one of the first to get one!
There's not much more to tell really. There is a thread on the site (I don't believe is in the Buck forum) where someone disassembled one so you can see all of the thought that went into it.

Thanks for feedback guys. Wanted some opinions from the horse's mouth. Sure looks like it is capable of tougher tasks as well as well as a protection knife in a pinch. Some great choices out there and want "quality" even if I don't have the largest collection out there. Also do a bit of deer hunting so looking forward to putting that Alpha Hunter to use. Really appreciate suggestions and opinions I have received.
