Buck Stealth Run 004...

[Culprit99]

At the time of the release of Stealth Run 001 Buck told us to "Beware the Mango Bird 41" - and the Mango Bird dropped from the sky on 4/1, April 1st.

At the time of the release of Stealth Run 002 Buck told us that Stealth Run 003 would be a model 501 in CW at the beginning of the video. And they also told us that folks visiting Buck for the BCCI 35th event would have seen the blades being cut out if they were observant.

Sooooo, the question is, what hint/teaser/Easter Egg have they now given us towards Stealth Run 004? I want to believe that they have, but I haven't caught on yet. Maybe I need to re-watch the video. Maybe it's buried in a different one of the videos? Any ideas, folks?

Toward the end of the Stealth Run 3 video there's a short clip of the Larrin cutting a piece of paper. This paper seems to be some sort of ad for Nicks Handmade Boots. I guess Buck already has a collab with Nicks so it could just be related to that, or it could be something relating to the next stealth run... boot knife?

You may be onto something - I’ll go watch again.

Early in the Larrin video there's a pile of 110 blades with thumb stud holes too... TRX or Sport blades, as it were...

Here is that portion of the video. Also note what I think are spitfire frames later in the video.

There seems to be an emphasis on aluminum, not related to "The Larrin" in the video. The spitfire handles, the face mill cutter in action and at the very end, Larrin's knife is seen posing on diamond plate. Leroy has made custom Buck handles in diamond plate. Buck's original intent in doing stealth runs was to test new materials and processes. With some Spitfires and other handles being slippery, why not give diamond plate a shot? I've seen micarta handles in diamond plate pattern and it's attractive and I'm sure very grippy.

With the Spitfire BOM still available 5 months later, would they jump back in with another special version of it?

If it’s Magnacut, I bet it’ll sell.

usually spitfires do well. That one didn't because there was nothing special about it. Still prob not going to do 2 722 botm in the same year.

Could it be a Magancut 112 that I really really thought the BOTM would be? David got my Magancut 110 'test' knife in a partial trade for a prototype black canvas micarta 112 auto..I never needed to resharpen it and found the 110 in brass and ebony to be just a little bit heavy..I think a 110 Sport or even just a aluminum frame 110 would be light enough for me.
I DO think whatever model it is Magancut will be the steel.

If Buck dropped Easter eggs in the video, I think that we will see a 1960s Buck 110 similar to the collaboration Buck did with Nicks Handmade Boots back in June. The first photo is from the Stealth Run #003 video and shows one of the first 110s. Towards the end of the video, krock6 pointed out that the knife is cutting a sheet of paper that discusses Nicks Handmade Boots. These two things could be pure coincidence, but it looks like Stealth Run #004 will be the old school 110 Buck did in collaboration with Nicks Handmade Boots or a similar old school 110. Buck Knives Inc. discussed the collaboration 110 in this thread. The last two photos are of the collaboration 110.

The shape of the blade on the older 110 is cool. It's like a drop point on a 501. Regardless I hope it's a 110 and Magnacut next. And Ebony.

Wasn't the first stealth run 110 Magnacut and ebony?

Oh right that's true. I guess I just like it that much. Lost my head. Carry on.
