Stamped!Is the tang mark stamped in? Or is it CNC routered in with a fine bit? It almost looks like it was machined in.
Yes!Picture worth bringing forward!! I'm trying to be patient!!
I also ordered two - one to tote, and one to put in the archive!
Im not a dimple fan, but i would guess those dimples will be polished out.

Don't care one way or the other about the "dots". The Bladeforums "stamp" looks nice and crisp regardless of how it was created.
I wonder how many club or forum knives Buck has been doing these days?
Any day nowWho's making next year's Knife ? Should probably get started on it soon

I understand the significance of the dots. They're important to collectors. The "dots" that I was mostly referring to was the one inside the long pull..
A lot of work, thought and history are tied into those dots. We wanted our own mark and a petmant one. We did an etched logo but it wasn’t permanent enough.
We had a poll for the tang stamp, I can assure you the dots mean a lot to many of us. For one it shows our commitment as a community to be here for the long haul. Besides, what would that mean to the other 7 knives with dots?![]()
Sadly I too am too new and missed out this year, would have certainly bought one as well. On a positive note, there’s always next year.
Grab the torches! Light the pitchforks! Let's go!Any day nowWho's making next year's Knife ? Should probably get started on it soon
