^^^^ THIS! Prodigy can be had at wallyworld for under $65.I have a prodigy and it's a fine knife, effectively the same as the strong arm but less expensive.
A lot of Walmarts still have the prodigy and it's not that expensive.
Personally I would not make the trade, you probably don't need a strong arm and prodigy plus you can just buy a prodigy at Walmart for not that much if you really want one.
Aren't Strongarm and Prodigy Gerber knives. That's blasphemy!^^^^ THIS! Prodigy can be had at wallyworld for under $65.

I never thought to look for knives in the baby food aisle.....Aren't Strongarm and Prodigy Gerber knives. That's blasphemy!![]()
So did you keep the knife? If you want a buyer, hit me up.

Mea culpa!! That was an offhand remark and I should know better. My sincere apology!Gentlemen, please remember that this is not the "Exchange", the OP cannot sell on this site at his membership level, and you should not be encouraging sales by individuals who do not have those privileges here.
Discussion is one thing...commerce is something else.
'Nuff said.
Reasons to keep the 124? One word.... discontinued. And Buck's ongoing support in the form of the forever warranty and the SPA repair option.
It isn't in the 2023 catalog. The website will catch up eventually.The 124 has been discontinued???? Its still in the Buck lineup on the Buck website....
Just ordered a second one while they are still in stock...It isn't in the 2023 catalog. The website will catch up eventually.

I received one two days ago and I just ordered another one this afternoon and I just looked, down to 22 now..From what I have seen on the Buck website this January, the 124 has been in and out of stock 2 times (maybe 3 ?). Previously there were 44, sold out in 24 hours ish. Now, back in stock again, currently there are 23 left, steadily selling. Get them while you can ?

Seeing this thread convinced me to buy one.Now down to 16....
I had a 124 and a few Gerbers in my truck when it was stolen last year.She's beat up but she's a 124. Wanted some Gerber stuff for a while and a buddy of mine might trade me a prodigy and a strong arm. Thoughts?
