Ideas for future BOTM,STEALTH,or LE’S

Agreed. But not so limited that you can't get one a couple hours after release. What would that be? 300?

My totally unscientific research and observation :) shows 200 - 250 sell reasonably fast of recent releases, so 300 would maybe be a sweet spot. But for me, personally I like the chase and mad scrambles, maybe I get one maybe I don't. It's fun !

My wish list is the same as it's been for the last two years: A light weight 112 Slim TRX, or Slim Select user in Magnacut. No Cerakote. Nothing fancy. Not necessarily a BOTM, LE, Stealth wish. I don't understand why 112 & 110 Slims in Magnacut aren't already part of regular production, or at least a Custom Shop option.

I'm the complete opposite. When I want something, I'll buy it when I'm good & ready, and not in a mad scramble. And I don't like putting a lot of effort into it, or waiting in line to spend my money. :)

I don't like the mad scrambles. I gave up on GEC because of that. If they have limited quantities, they should at least limit the purchase to one for the first 24 hours or so.

If it doesn't seem a bargain or plain or nothing special it's always a easy pass. If the run is 500 750 or a 1,000 same easy pass.. I know I look for value especially when MSRP is over $200.00 I look hard at the handle and steel. Buck seems to make the decision 50% of the time without much thought or planning even on model. But if it's really cool and different and seems like a good value most will consider buying it even if they don't collect that model..Buck could really generate some excitement for the BOTM program..if the knife is.

Yes, every pic I've seen on the internet all look great. And since I have one I know they look so much better in hand. Also, there is something about not having a fuller really updates/elevates the knife for me.

As long as CJ keeps from making it political.
He has a tendency to do that.

Absolutely! I’d love to see something like what Buck did for the 200th. Not my pic - pulled from online.

And I would love to see more Betsy Ross handles in brown leather sheaths, as well! Again, sadly, not my pic.

I'm with you Ironbut Ironbut and can't emphasize enough how much I dislike the lollyscramble for certain knives. I don't care about a knife's rarity. Aside from my kids and internet strangers, I don't know anyone who has multiple pocket knives, so every one I own is collectable and unique.

YES!
 
I'd like to see the 104 clip point be part of the regular catalog. GREAT knife. My 2025 New knife of the year.
I would be great if they offered a variety of handle materials for the 104 that could be purchased separately.

For Stealth - BOTM - LE offerings:
-Barehead versions of the 112 and 110. Chubby handles like the S35V BOTM 110 from earlier this year.
-A 110 with switchable blades.
-Another 152
-An 817 to go with my 819. Maybe with Compadre removable style handle scales.
