Very nice...with the Idaho stamp no less Preston

Idaho?!?! I thought it was a boot.

Every time I see this thread bumped to the top I get all excited hoping it's some new WIP photos. So...I decided to dig this 301 out and plunk it in the pocket to try it on for size. Can't wait for the new one!

The 301 is one good looking knife. It's on my short list.

I can see how one might see a crinkled up old boot...but, Buck moved to Idaho during 2004 and in 2005 used the outline of the state as their tang stamp date mark. Preston

Looks like Italy to me!

Some people need glasses.... A recent GEC 14 release in Greenbone had a boot as a shield, maybe that was homage to Idaho?

Or was it Italy? LOL

Only if it were due to Sicilian connexions..

I'm hoping to have some more pictures next week. Hengem won't be back to the factory until Monday, so we are all on the "waiting patiently" list.

Very Cool ! In another week or so we'll probably be grabbing them out of the mailbox.

I figured there would be some more images by now, sometimes no news is good news, but with us, that's never the case

Lets work you picture hounds up with 301 pics, not of Forum knife. 300

And lastly for those " I use my knives" guys.

Will there be any smilarity between the 2018 BF knife and the March Special Buck?

That's a 303. The forum knife is a 301, hence a little bigger. Also, it won't have the castrator blade. Clip on one end, and sheepsfoot opposite. But I expect it will look similar to the picture you posted.

Also flat ground blades and pins on the forum knife.

Thank you. I was thinking to the elk antler.

Tomorrow is mid October. Not sure what that really means other than we are getting closer pretty quick. It seems like just a few days ago that somebody said tomorrow is October 1st.

Oh man, the hype is real, isn't it? I would advise you guys to temper your expectations though. End of October was mentioned as an absolute best case scenario IIRC. Don't be surprised (or disappointed) if it takes a little longer. Besides, no one want this to be a rush-job, do they?

Good advice and I completely agree. However, end of October wasn't technically the absolute best case scenario.

The word on the street is that production will be complete Mid to End of October. I'd hope for the former and lean on the latter.

 

[Will Power]

Yeah, but he didn't say which October..

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Should we make a poll ?
