I've got a hankering...

[A.P.F.]

...for a new Custom Shoppe 110 and I was wondering if anyone knows how much the BG-42 upgrade is?

 

[RAZORBLADES]

last time i had it done ,it was 45 dolars for the blae through the custom shoppe.Not sure tho now with the new pricing.

 

[A.P.F.]

OK, thanks, Razorblades. I guess I had better give them a call.

...Before the major change in the Custom Shoppe...the old BG-42 price was $19...and S30V was more expensive and was not even listed then...I haven't heard what BG-42 is now. S30V was $37 after they first put up the major changes but that was also before they reduced those prices by 50% per their marketing department...

Yup, it's official - I am dazed and confused.

I'll post back when I have the figures.

I checked the Buck web site just recently and the only blade upgrade I see advertised is S30V. Do they still offer BG-42? If so, what would you guys recommend? Do they offer other options not listed/shown? I'm going to order a custom shop 110 here real soon to add to my small Buck collection, and would apprectiate any opinions on what I should go with.

I ordered one with S30V and then called to change the order to Bg-42. When the knife arrived it had S30V as initially ordered. I really don't know what to tell you about the actual availability of BG-42.

My last one was originally 154CM, but they called and were out ans asked if they could substitute BG-42.

So they had some as recent as 6 weeks or so ago, but may be out now???

The one I received earlier this week was ordered as BG-42 - billed as S30V - and BG-42 was delivered! Confused? I'm happy! They were the same price the first of June.

...That's exactly what happened to me Tom...Originally ordered S30V as it was offered while BG-42 wasn't. Then I was told BG-42 was in fact available so I emailed Buck, to get the BG-42, who said I could and would indeed be getting BG-42 on my custom instead of S30V. It arrived with the S30V...Go figure.........The knife is still gorgeous but it just doesn't have BG-42, which I prefer, and it doesn't say it's a "Buck Custom"...

Well, I decided to 'roll the dice' and order a brass/ram from the website. I ordered it in S30V and sent Pete an email to ask that it be changed to BG-42. We will see what happens. In reality, I am fine either way, as I have lots of knives in S30V and I get along just great with it. That said, all my other CS 110 knives are BG-42 and it would be nice to carry on that tradition.
