Custom Shop 110

:confused:
well the custom shop closed for a while .. no web site either..
when they come back on line seems they made an error on priceing and the guys here were not happy and on informing buck they thought the prices were to high and threatening to tar and feather a vice presdent of buck.. Buck then lowered the prices to a reasonable level and then offered the tar and feather linch mob an addational 15 % off
buck was over run and swamped with the amount of orders and run out of a lot of stock so they will have to reorder soon.. see steel poll.. so now you are up to date..



Thats kinda the story Dave, but not really... Damascus and other steels haven't been on the site for a long time. (even before the CS closed and the old site was running) (it really doesnt have alot to do with their pricing or tar and feathering anyone either.) Those steels were very sporadic for some time. If I remember on the old site BG was listed but wasnt available for a time as well. For whatever reason it seems to be hard to keep the website updated and current...

BG 42 was never listed on the new site yet a few gentleman ordered it?:confused:... Damascus wasn't an option either yet theres a 2008 Custom Shop knife with it! 154CM was listed and it wasn't even available! :confused:
Available steels has nothing to do with the price "mix up"
Lynch mob :rolleyes: Sheesh...

Its usually best to call Buck because its a shot in the dark as to what is really available... ;)

stainless damascus nickel 111 frame and black as night horn.
as to current supply
custom steel is not ordered as large stock pile..
nothing isstockpiled as before..
from past reading of an interview with CJ.

buck went to jest in time ordering and stocking,,
this helps to cut cost at Idaho and in a normal business model is a fine thing to do but puts them at the
mercy of suppliers and sudden cost increases due to
the same things all of us face now at the grocery store..
in some cases companies committed on orders and the
sudden increase had put them in a bind as they can
not pass on this dramatic cost increase from the reorder..
so i tells all ya buckroos
get ya buckies at wally while the old prices are still good,,,
cause dey is a going up!
n' order ya customs now 'cause likely on reordering the
custom shop steel de price will go up again..
but i dont knows noth'n ... i is jest a guessing here...
and any ones that takes me as serours as a heart attack
well dey is a jest worrying to hard...
i likes to put spin on things i find get me attentions
and twist things around lots to get a damascus patteran to my writtens..
ie: i likes being a funny guy when i cans...
life it to short to not enjoys every bit o honny in it !

Got my Custom in today.Couldn't be happier.I think i have all the woods now.This one is cherry with N.S. and BG-42.The sheath seems a little wimpier than they used to be,or it's just oiled differently.It's very soft.I think i like the stiff finished ones better.Well worth the price paid anyhow and the knife worth much more.

sheath ? what sheath?

The pictured sheath! It has some other construction and looks like real genuine leather, while my order came with usual stock black sheath (actually I ordered it:)), I think it's made of man-made leather. I even smells like genuine leather, but I suppose it consists of some kinda paper or carton O_n
 
yep past tense... was.. but i gots one i knows ya dont have:
check the tang stamp on the one on the left.. one on the right got away from me.. went to cal to live

Night horn.

Is that the new name for phenolic?

Looks like gussied-up phenolic.

I bet profits are good on that.

;)
 
ho yes very good !
even has some extremely faint lines mixed in it ! ;D
( was accidental did not mix or grow thicker long enough!)
wish i could buy one share of stock in buck now! ;)
but it is the sick tang stamp .... look closely....
is that another flaw? or do you need glasses?
 
Hey, Wally-World has 119s on sale for <$34 - with 'night horn' handles... sech a deel.

My second follow-up call to Pete... 'Danny', the custom knife-maker extraordinaire, is on vacation - he said mine would be another week or two. I reminded him of 'We'll see if we can get it out by Friday...'. Stupidly, I reminded him that he never said which Friday. Me and my big mouth... he enjoyed the humor - sounded more frazzled than a week ago Monday. I guess I'll get it by the end of the month... oh yeah, which month?

Hey that 119 there has real 'aluminiumium' finger guard and pommel... wow! Night horn - I like that better than 'phenolic'!

Danny may be working in a different dept i think...
at least for a different supervisor...
or i might be wrong ...
small brain and it leaks some time ...
must be the sick buck syndrome ...
"Night horn - I like that better than 'phenolic'!"
Stainz
should have read black as night buffalo horn ie: flawless black..
