June Buck of the month just dropped

[BennyBlade]

Checked all the boxes but I'm a 501 guy. This was a very difficult pass for me. Great knife!!!

Yes... jumped thinking this one was a 501, but alas... I picked up one of the other knives they sent me an email about, to add to the collection of 722s... BSA knives were in stock.

 

[Old Biker]

Did they offered it at 3X the original price?

No. Just close to double.

O.B.

Did they offered it at 3X the original price?

Only asking $100 over what Buck was selling it for at that moment. So fairly nice of them, not 3X the price.

 

[jbmonkey]

the flipper knows someone with too much money will buy it eventually.........

Also, fathers day gift ?

I already claimed the new chainsaw could be my father's day gift. What can I call this?

Gotta have something to open new jugs of bar oil. They use those pesky seals now. Also 2 cycle oil.

That's some solid thinking right there

Obviously, when using a chainsaw, there is always that little bit more that needs some precision cutting, hence the knife. It's a Father's Day gift supplemental necessity, of course : )

That seems reasonable.

 

[Rhinofly]

Well this is frustrating. I was hoping it would be a 501 or 503, and it just so happens I called Buck that morning to ask when the BOM was coming out, and was told, "some time before the end of the month." Now they are sold out already. And I simply will not support the scalpers on this knife.

R Rhinofly if you sign up at the Buck Knives site for their emails you will get notified of BOTM drops...of course you will have to put up with all the other stuff they send out.

You can also pay attention to this forum, someone always starts a thread about the next BOTM around the first of every month and the announced drop is posted when it happens.

Check out all the info in this thread...

Also, watch the Buck Knives For Sale section at the beginning of this forum, someone may be selling theirs at a price you can live with.

Sorta wished I grabbed one.

But I knew that was gonna happen when I chose not to.

Yes, yes it is a fine looking knife, and nice photo. I carried a 503 years ago and found it and the 525 models to small. If it had been a 501 or 500 I would have bought one. Looking forward to seeing others photos.

I'm pleased with mine and very well done, Buck! I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but the blade is flat ground, which is a departure from the normal hollow grind on standard 503s.

 

[Vaporstang]

Mine arrived yesterday:

 

[BuckShack]

They sure look great. I hope they make a 501 run in these. The wood is just delicious (yes, I'm hungry)
