January 2021 Buck of the Month - 722 154CM Solid Copper Handle

[Jeff of the North]

I was holding off just fine until Mike posted pics. I also needed an excuse to grab a grey 112 SS since that color is on the way out. Two more knives on the way!

I like it. I think the price is fair. There's a lot of $ in copper there!

LOL! That's often my path to a new knife. I held out last night and I will try again tonight....

I don't know what the significance of this is, maybe no significance at all, but I find it interesting that Buck used CPM154 in the December 501 BTOM and uses 154CM in this BOTM.

I have now learned more about knife blade steels by researching these than I ever wanted to know. lol

this run isn't cpm154. its 154cm.

Yup. That's what I said. I just put the cm before the 154 instead of after. Dyslexic typing. Fixed it to avoid further confusion.

I expect they either had the 154cm steel available and wanted to use it up or 722 blades already made in 154cm and thats why they used it.

I am hoping some of those that receive the knife first will share some photos of them.

Had to have my wife order one as I no longer get emails and or notifications from Buck Knives since D Day. If her emails are removed I will come completely un done with a long list.
Until then I will support as I have for years

Tracking says due tomorrow. Looking forward to holding a chunk of copper with a blade.

Magnetic box slides out of the sleeve. Hard to get out but it eventually does. Cool knife with a cast looking finish. I hope its not clear coated.

looks good nonetheless.

I just bought one of these bad boys! I've never bought off buck.com before only other websites, does anyone know the sales tax rate they charge??? Seems pretty high.
