Buck of the Month - March

Sold out in 2 hours. Anyone know what the price was on them?
 
I just had the thought Buck could offer a subscription for there Buck of the month. .What do y'all think about it?
I know a few collector's are trying to collect them a subset but since they sell out very quickly and if you are not checking your email when it hits your inbox there is a good chance you will miss out for 1 or even more..Do you think it's something for Buck to consider?

Price was $100 with a limited quantity of 100 = $10,000. Not a bad days profit.

Especially since it took less than two hours to reach that $10,000.
Of course that $10,000 is not 100% profit. I'm sure it cost them something for the parts, materials, labor, insurance, utilities (electric and possibly gas, depending on the heating system they have) and so on to make the knives. :)
A 303 with Elk covers? I'm surprised they did not sell out in the first 30 minutes.
I wonder if a matching 301 will be offered? :)

Clint, not sure exactly what you mean by a "subscription" and Buck already notifies everyone via email anyway. If what you mean is that everyone who subscribed would have the knife reserved for them, that is another issue. But it is one, that, regrettably, I don't think would work primarily because every month's offering would have to have the same number of knives available at the very least. For example, I think that the 110 and 119 both had about 20 of each available. So what would happen if one month they offered a high class 124 and only had 15 available. Someone would be very disappointed.

100 of each for the first 3.

I think the only way a subscription would work is if there was a maximum cost per knife.

If I committed with the assumption that each would be $150 or less, then they started making $400 knives for BOM, I might not be happy.
 
The accompanying Certificate of Authenticity for the 112 states that it is one of 22 made in 2018.
 
The 112 was an LE “web blast”. The Buck of the month is something entirely different.

January’s BOM was a 110, February’s was a 119, and March is this 303. 100 each.

The elk/Wolf 112 (1 of 22), is a Limited Edition.

On Buck’s site the BOM and LEs are on two different pages.

I apologize if I’m the one confused. It’s been a long day...
 
Thanks Tin! I read the thread 3 more times trying to figure out my malfunction...lol
 
Just to throw fuel on the fire, if you were reading the sticky on Factory shutdown for remodel did you notice Jeff saying a bunch of "parts" were found in the mess and to expect things in the future. That is usually how special issues were made in the past. Finishing up a bin of this or that knife and some special blade or scale material found leftover from another project. A few were test projects that never were put into production. As Desoto stated the brass bolsters are the item here. Unscaled brass bodies from the Chuck Buck series and some elk antler blanks, maybe.
For my own taste a few antlered scaled specials have used scales that were too thick for a 300, 700 or 500 body. But, others have said they like a 'thick' small folder. To each their own. I wrote a post on the different stag/antler materials and the animals that provided them but I bet Photobucket killed it in a Buck Forum search. Anyone interested can find a copy of that on the BCCI website.
