Just found this "Buck Hood Punk

[BG42EDGE]

What happened to the FIRST story....... "this big knife can do anything a little knife can do."

(?)

Now.......I suppose the goofiness is extended to "this little knife can do anything a big knife can do."

Marketing is a minefield sown heavily with imagination.

Most of this is just the silliness of selling.......one can just laugh and ignore it--but the practical question is that the original knife was designed to work like a machete--So......what happens when you keep the same design and angles and shorten the knife to five inches or so? What is it now?

I suspect this is a rather naked and cynical effort to simply sell more knives by capitalizing on the "Hoodlum" craze.

Now it's "The little knife that can do what the big knife that can do what a little knife can do."

Marketing aside though, does anyone have anything negative to say about the actual knife? I thnk it looks like a decent knife made out of a decent steel, by a company with a decent warranty.:thumbup:

Well duh; "Humour is in the eye of the beholder."
Sounds pretty unidirectional to me.

I see you don't understand. I'll explain it to you. You take a poke and then fall back on the "have a sense of humor" line when someone pokes back. I guess you do have a dinosaur in this orgy but don't have a sense of humor.

 

[BG42EDGE]

The only thing I can say in its favor is that it offers five inch Buck in a different (and nice) steel.

I just wonder about the shape and the angle of the handle.....does what works in a nine-inch knife also work in a five-inch knife?

I take it you didn't find the explanatory steps OR the subsequent reply as funny.

Somehow, I will manage to soldier on through the crushing pain of my obvious failings in the realm of humour (guess it's a good thing I don't make a living as a comic).

 

[Stelth]

Indeed.

I think the handle would work well enough.
As long as people aren't expecting a chopper, they shouldn't be too disappointed.

 

[BG42EDGE]

Maybe.

Who knows?

I suppose they will be sold at scandalously high prices for the next year or so.

All part of the master plan.

 

[stabman]

Indeed.

I guess my (hopefully) short term work doing security is a better fit then...we're not supposed to have a sense of humour (although I DO find making minimum wage after 5 years of university pretty humorous ).

I wouldn't pay high prices for one though.
If I found one for a good deal, I'd give it a whirl.

That's wise!

 

[stabman]

That's wise!

Hey, if you can't be funny, be wise!

 

[BG42EDGE]

Nice if you can be both.

Irrelavant

MSRP 180.00.....on sale now 159.95 + S&H

 

[kidcoyote]

i could care less what the name means.

i been looking at this style of knife and am glad that buck is starting to make knives like this. i was looking at other brands similar to this and when this comes out i'll just have to get one of these instead. i'd rather keep it buck anyways.

Yeah......I'd call that scandalous.

IMO the $160 intro price isn't that bad. I'm not a member of the "Me first club", but I'll read their reviews. I'd think the street price would need to approach the ESEE-6 level* for one of them to appear in my bag.

*will need to account for differences in the sheaths.

I like the looks of it and the name is not that big a deal to me. May grab one soon.

 

[whetrock]

I saw it on Facebook, I was a bit shocked ( not that I really care it just didn't really sound like buck to me ) by the name to say the least. If it is half the knife the Hoodlum is it should prove to be a very good seller for Buck:thumbup:.
