Has Buck got Everything Covered ?

Buck does make a small fixed blade made to be a neck knife out of S30V but I can't remember the model number lol! I was gifted a China counterfeit that was impossible to get a good edge.. The one cutting tool I don't remember seeing is a double edge ax head but I would not be surprised if at one time or another Buck made it one. Does Buck itself have a display showing all its products past and present?

That would be the Mayo Kaala. I'm not 100% sold on the little sheath it carries in but the knife itself is great. Pretty sure at least one member here put scales on theirs. Need to start carrying mine again. The only thing I've ever worn around my neck were my dog tags. Just need to give it some time so I can get used to it again.
 
Buck doesn't have a dedicated bushcraft knife as far as I know. The Selkirk and the Punk come closest.

It appears buck doesn't really like to do other grinds than hollow grinds. In that particular area, they have big holes in their line up.

If you're not from the USA, it can be really hard to get a 'less popular' buck knife. (around here, you can get standard 110s and 112s, but forget about any customs).

I respect Buck's business decisions, but it sure is inconvenient for me sometimes.
 
Isn't the Selkirk and Punk both flat grinds?

I'm pretty sure Buck has never made any kind of real axe or hatchet ( carbon steel head hung on a wooden haft, or all steel like an estwing and not an axe shaped knife ), let alone a double bit axe.
 
I have a Buck Chinese axe and the red Buck camp axe.

Details, please. :)
Is that a hand and a half or two handed sword?
What is the blade length?
A real beauty there. Thank you for sharing. :)

Oh I just found this picture from searching an old 2009 Bladeforum post! It's the Buck 901 Scimitar right next to a 402 Akonua for size comparison. I believe this type of knife was used for the Grand Opening Ceremony in Idaho back in 2005.

I believe Colonial still makes one in the USA.

I ordered one, to add to my collection. It is an ok knife, better than the Chinese knock off, but just barely. The openers are both significantly smaller than the originals.

So I stand by my desire to see Buck make a QUALITY version or this iconic knife.
