At the Blade Show I was able to talk to CJ 3 or 4 times and twice I asked please (very nicely) drop a box of drop point blades off at the Custom shop..CJ did say Buck has big plans for the 50th anniversary of the 112. I'll be looking hard this week at my phone 'just in case' the BOTM is a 112..

I agree !
I have the January 2020 botm 112 drop point S35vn blade, NS bolsters with scalloped cocobolo handle. It’s one of my favorites. I also have a 112 I ordered from the custom shop in s30v clip point and I prefer the drop point on the 112 to the clip. On the 110 I like either clip or drop point depending what I’m doing. But on a 112 blade length a drop point works very well. I think that’s probably what most people would find when comparing them in person. At first I was skeptical but after getting it and using it I was convinced that the drop point was better on the 112.

How about the new 040 Onset with carbon fiber scales or some other cool scales.

I've set aside funds for that, just in case...

So... shouldn't this be Buck of the half month. How long does it take?

I keep waiting for Tecate to weigh in........

I don't have any insider knowledge...just a couple of lucky guesses.

 

[Tecate]

Looks like another 110 for the June Buck of the Month. S30V with OD green G10 scales.

Looks like they may have taken my advice and added the real field shot photos to the stock photos. Better representation of what you are getting imo. I like it.

"Cannot be shipped to your country".

Seriously?!

 

[Lesknife]

I just got the text message. Nothing fancy but should be a good user . I’ve got several 110s in s30v so I’ll skip this one. I’m wanting one in S35vn or s45vn drop point with a grippy handle.

I'm glad to see it's a drop point, but that's a pretty boring knife for a limited type edition.

Seems a bit plain for the price. Wish the thumb stud was silver to match the blade. A made in USA sheath would be good also. I’d pay 100.00 max. They should offer OD green G-10 in the custom shop.

I guess you will not be getting the 124 with ebony handle either....

.....That makes 2 of us.

 

[celticrogues]

Yeah the black thumb stud is kind of an eyesore. Rest of the knife looks pretty though. I just picked up a 110 auto with S30v and micarta handle off the exchange so I'll likely give this one a pass.

Complete let down. I was hoping for more. Oh well, money stays in the pocket....for now.

 

[GPyro]

I like the thumb stud.
It's a good looking knife.

I'm thrilled they came out with something....that.....eh..... I don't feel compelled to purchase.

 

[Tecate]

Someone likes it...275 of the 500 sold already.

 

[MadeinUsa1]

I assume the thumb stud is removable or is it permanent?

 

[Fixall]

This would have been perfect had it been a take-apart model.

I’m just not a fan of G10 at all. I don’t like how it feels. I could do without the thumbstud, but that’s an easy fix. The drop point in S30V gets a big thumbs up though. That alone tempted me for just a bit.

 

[Daniel]

not particularly exciting. It looks nice, but I would choose a 110 Pro first.

My Brother David just called and told me about it..If it was a 112 I would buy 3 just for the blades and for Custom one of ones ..It's a nice 110 tho..
