Buck of the Month BOTM 841 Sprint Pro satin S30V drop point blade Ckote Crushed Silver AL hndl rdwhtblue blade marking. Blue ano spcr. of/500

A guess, or you've seen it?
This is the monthly BOTM post. The main use is to document BOTMs as they are released. Usually starts early in the month with a bunch of predictions. When the knife is released, the thread title will change to reflect the knife and photos usually quickly follow. Make a guess. Something you want, something you'd love, or even something crazy or silly. It's all in good fun.

Got it, thanks!

Up to me? It's a barehead 501 in blacked out S35VN, body hardware and bolster also blacked out. White turquoise handle with a jet onyx band bookended with thin brass spacers. A man can dream. 😂

Yes please!
 
I copied the entire BOTM knife list from 2018 to present and asked ChatGPT's opinion on what the July 2023 BOTM would be. Below is the reply. If this isn't definitive then I don't know what is.

"Based on the provided list, we can observe some patterns in the releases from July of each year. Here are the knives released in July:
  • July 2018: 808 Talon FMC | 5160 Carbon, gray Cerakote blade with partially serrated, sawtooth spine and limb hook, blue G10 handle | 75 available | $400
  • July 2019: 105 Pathfinder | 420HC, stacked red, white, blue lucite handle | 150 available | $150
  • July 2020: 112 Ranger | 420HC, take apart screwed together aluminum handle, red Micarta inlay | 150 available | $120
  • July 2021: 722 Spitfire | 420HC, blade pad printed with American Flag, crushed silver Cerakote Aluminum handle | 500 available | $85
  • July 2022: 119 Special | S35VN, full flat grind without fuller, red canvas Micarta handle with aluminum pommel and guard | 750 available | $199.99
The knife model that Buck Knives is likely to release in July 2023 is the 722 Spitfire. Here's the reasoning behind this prediction:
  1. Buck Knives has a history of introducing new knife models or releasing variations of existing models each July.
  2. The 722 Spitfire has been released in July before, specifically in July 2021, according to the list.
  3. Buck Knives often revisits popular models, so it is possible that they would release an updated version of the 722 Spitfire or introduce a new model with similar features in July 2023.
  4. The 722 Spitfire has distinct features, such as a blade pad printed with the American Flag and a crushed silver Cerakote Aluminum handle, making it an appealing choice for a potential release.
Considering these factors, it is reasonable to predict that Buck Knives may release a new version of the 722 Spitfire or introduce a similar model in July 2023. However, please note that this prediction is based on historical patterns and speculation, and the actual knife released by Buck Knives may vary."

So much for ChatGPT : )
 
And I like that March BOTM Spitfire.
I like the blade grind, and the steel.
I just think there's better knife choices for $149.
.....Especially considering all the cerakote slather....

I like the modern stuff Buck's making.
But they do traditionals so well.
I'm hoping for some of them.
 
I consulted SplatLMNOP and got the following prediction:

Based on the data supplied to SplatLMNOP the most likely July Buck of the Month will be a Tactical Spork made from recycled fenceposts. The TactiSpork will include a latex sheath, a COA, and an enormous black cardboard box that can't be removed from its cardboard sleeve without tactical nukes. It will retail for $845.00, 11,000 will be produced, and it will sell out in approximately 4 minutes. An estimated seventeen threads will be posted from purchasers complaining about poor tine centering.

Gotta say, I hope this is true.
