exactly my thoughts on it as well.....Good looking combo, I have several 503s and have found I don’t have need or use that small of a knife. I’m passing on this one.
We all have different criteria. As a collector mine will see extensive use cutting air...A really nice looking knife, but it wouldn't get enough use for me to justify purchasing.
After wanting and asking (begging) for a 503 in premium steel for years, Buck finally came through! It's the first ever Prince with something other than the standard offering of 420HC, 425M or 440C. For those of you on the fence, this BOTM is the same size as the 055. Many enjoy that size as a daily carry, as I do. It rides in the fifth pocket nicely, but looking forward to trying out the clip slip when it arrives!
