lol.How is the green micarta 117 different from this year's BOTM?
I think they're gonna make more than 500.
But hey, it'll have a new date code!

If you're a BCCI member, look up Larry Oden in the member directory. Drop him an email and ask to get on his mailing list. He sends out a handful of really helpful emails throughout the year if have a hole in your pocket and need to fill it with a unique Buck knife or three. If you're not a BCCI member, dealing with Mr. Oden is worth the price of membership, let alone the discount on Buck's website.
I’m wondering how it will compare price wise.lol.

Took the family of 4 to a chain restaraunt last night. 2 beers, 1 drink and 4 burgers: $125.00 incl gratuity. Place was empty when we got there around 730. About 20 min outside of Boston city limits. A few college aged couples strolled in around 8. Kinda crazy.I know price increases are inevitable but more and more, the types of knives I like to collect are causing my wallet to butt clench.
There are probably a dozen knives on the bay I would love to add to my collection but exceed my hobbiest pricing mentality.
Prices for some of the new 2023 knives give me pause also.
if I do some editing I can post them, but im real busy to do the editing, right now. maybe tonight...unless someone edits first and posts them.....So nobody can post a screenshot of those secret mails or did they destroy themselve after reading?
Heritage series discontinued or are they really just all oos?
Also noting that the "heritage" Vanguard is listed as " back ordered." I wonder if the heritage series is being discontinued completely, and that is the reason for the micarta version.
Me too. I bought all the Heritage Series in 2022. They are beautiful knives. I would like to see more of the fixed blades included. Since I don't have a 117, I'll definitely have to get that, regardless of the handle.The Heritage series is not listed in the 2023 price list. However, the series was/is a web exclusive so they did not appear in the 2022 catalog/price list. So.....hard to say. I hope they are not discontinued.
I would very much like to see a 117 added to the Heritage series as the D2/Cocobolo knives are an outstanding value.
