I really like 112's, but cerakoted blades are definitely a hard pass for me. Congrats to all those who snagged one, that wanted one...or more ;)

I also prefer a noncoated blade but I liked it enough to pick one up. I have that blacked out BOTM 112 from this past summer too tho I’ve really yet to use it
 
I think the idea of putting silver slabs on this is a great one! Or a different 112 for that matter . A 10 oz bar is around $250.00 and would be more than enough to make 2 thick slabs for any 110 or 112. Plus with that kind canvas for a artist to work with ( think David Yellowhorse) it could be a absolutely stunning Buck! Add a few inlays and you can get close to perfection!
 
Flippers at work..I guess they do allow folks who completely missed the release to get a cool BOTM or other LE's but wow..Double or more?? I'm sure some are nice folks too but I just couldn't pay a extra $100.00 or even more for a 112 no matter how nice it is/was. I can't fault Buck for putting a high limit (10 in this case) because after all they are in business to sell knives. I don't have a answer but back 6 or 7 years ago Buck had a limit of 3 on web specials/buildout's but even then some flippers got around that. Just don't pay too much for ANY Buck is my answer..

Part of the reason they sold out so fast is flipper scalping them. Buying them from scalpers for those ridiculous markups only encourages future behavior.

There is a lot of stuff on the bay that is really nice Buck stuff but out of my price range. A lot from the time when dealers would commission their own exclusive stuff. I wish Buck would still do it with those companies. But it is different when the stuff just came out, sold out and then flipped. No issue with flipping but I do feel a little empathy for people who just missed out.
