Huge Money Making Idea for Buck!

[Slice-and-dice]

Now that the 301 Stockman has been redesigned, many stockman users are longing for the old “sawcut” delrin/valox scales. They were flatter with a nice grippy texture. Don’t get me wrong, the new style is nice too. But why not make a legacy limited edition model in YELLOW with the old scales and classic badge. Instant sell out! Would you buy?

If I wasn’t so disappointed in my two red dealer specials, I’d be all over a yellow model. Sadly, no more 300 series for me.

I think they would do better to return to full flat grinds rather than the current hollow/saber grinds. If they could do that and add yellow delrin I might be happy enough to buy one or two.

If they boxed it up in the classic yellow box, yes!

If the blades were flat grind, I think it would be great. I never understood why they switched to the hollow sabre style grind. I don’t usually buy newer 300 series knives solely based on that.

I try to be positive and hope Buck sells a bunch, but don’t give me smooth plastic in pastel colors. Black, red and yellow are great, as would be brass liners if you were really going the extra mile.

Fit and finish issues ? I keep thinking about buying one for no reason.

Fit and finish was subpar on my two samples, they went back to Buck for function issues. Now they function fine, but look like amateur made knives. Like an apprentice’s first try. Buck sent them back to me with the same poor fit, so I have to assume that is how they want them made.

Same, I love the old flat grind slippies

I would probably buy any slipjoint Buck makes- I love them.

The springs on mine look like that, but at least the handles on mine weren't pre-damaged. I'm a Buck fan boy, but their QC took a hit during covid and they've never gotten back. Your knife should never have left the factory. Neither should mine since I had to take a file to the spey to get it to open properly. Come on Buck you can do better
