Nope not a 722.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:
The knife model that Buck Knives is likely to release in July 2023 is the 722 Spitfire. Here's the reasoning behind this prediction:
- 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
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."
- Buck Knives has a history of introducing new knife models or releasing variations of existing models each July.
- The 722 Spitfire has been released in July before, specifically in July 2021, according to the list.
- 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.
- 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.

Nope not a 722.
I never heard of ChatGPT before, so it won't be disappointing me. I kind of like see it be wrong, whatever it is.People are going to be disappointed. Not because BOTM will not be a 722, but because ChatGPT is not correct. Unfortunately, ChatGPT will give wrong information about things more important that the BOTM.

its the artificial intelligence they let loose already.....I never heard of ChatGPT before, so it won't be disappointing me. I kind of like see it be wrong, whatever it is.
O.B.
ask it again but let it know it isn't a 722 model and let's see where it goes on its guessing....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.

This has nothing to do with Buck Knives, but it does show something about the current reliability of ChatGPT. In a notorious example, a lawyer used ChatGPT to write a legal brief filed in a federal court case. Apparently the brief written by ChatGPT contained several bogus trial references, and the judge was not amused.its the artificial intelligence they let loose already.....
Yeah, I've never either...and just don't care.I never heard of ChatGPT before, so it won't be disappointing me. I kind of like see it be wrong, whatever it is.
O.B.
I am still not convinced it isn't going to be a SpitFire, but here is the second guess.ask it again but let it know it isn't a 722 model and let's see where it goes on its guessing....
on its 2nd time trying, this might be a better guess...thanks for playing with it for us. at the minimum it's interesting to see it's guesses compared to our wishlists and guessesI am still not convinced it isn't going to be a SpitFire, but here is the second guess.
"Based on the provided list, the predicted knife model that Buck Knives may release in July 2023, excluding the 722 SpitFire as requested, is the "117 Brahma." The "117 Brahma" is part of the existing lineup, and Buck Knives has a history of releasing variations and limited editions of popular models.
The predicted specifications for the "117 Brahma" based on the pattern of previous releases are as follows:
Again, it's important to note that this prediction is purely speculative and based on the observed patterns in the historical releases. To get the most accurate information about Buck Knives' upcoming releases, it is recommended to follow their official announcements or reach out to the company directly."
- Blade steel: S35VN
- Blade type: Full flat grind without fuller
- Handle material: Red canvas Micarta with aluminum pommel and guard
- Availability: 500 units
- Predicted price: $199.99
Add a straight clip profile like the January 119 BOTM, and that would take my money.I am still not convinced it isn't going to be a SpitFire, but here is the second guess.
