I see no reason this couldn't be a regular production model in aluminum of various colors instead of Ti for at least $300 less.

Agreed.
Or even an in stock slim version with something other than a friggin plastic handle.
😣
The micarta ones were great.
What's up with the g10 Slim that's no longer in the catalog but still on the website?🤔
Enough with the fancy expensive and el cheapo versions.

Build something that makes sense.
Is the marketing department in need of help?

Someone had to say it.

Quit trying to be what you’re not. You’d never see a factory nylon Sebenza, and for good reason, it’s not their brand. Buck isn’t plastic to me. Sometimes I think of the Colt All American 2000 when I see some of their newer stuff and wonder what happened?

How is that worth $500?? Seriously?

A ti handle with ano? Wow.

My apologies. Shouldn’t have posted my surprise.

For those who love Buck knives, I sincerely apologize.
We all find value in what we like.

Simple answer, It's NOT but they're still getting bought up so congrats BUCK!
 
Since my Brother still collects and displays 110's I sent him the notification.. But I don't think he bought one.
Folks overpay for a lot of limited neat things. Like Hellcats Corvettes so if you have it to spend...

That pretty much sums it up. My personal opinion of someone else's choice of knifes, cars, etc, is just that......my personal opinion. If it's what someone else wants, and they're willing to pay the price, then it's worth it to them. And that's all that matters.
 
If nothing else, it's a quick $25K (50 * $500) boost in operating revenue for Buck just before Q1-2026 ends. Not the first time I've seen them do a "limited edition" just before a quarter ends ...

That accounting minor from my undergraduate college days comes into my life in the strangest places ... :cool:

If you don't account for the cost of materials, labor, packaging, shipping, etc.

Yep. I'm glad they offer such things that I won't buy, just for the sake of a healthy and diverse catalog. But knowing they have the capacity for additional options, why not?

Operating Revenue is just the total amount of money brought in from sales. It doesn’t factor in expenses like materials, labor, or shipping yet.

Here is the quick breakdown:
  • Operating Revenue: 50 units × $500 = $25,000 (The total cash in the door).
  • Gross/Net Profit: $25,000 minus the costs you mentioned (What the company actually keeps).
So, while they aren't making $25k in profit, they are absolutely adding $25k to their revenue report for the quarter.
 
I love that purple version of the 110 but that price it above my pain threshold. Still, it’s a beautiful knife.
 
Like on the Simpsons, when they released the Malibu Stacey doll with a new hat, everyone had to get it. As primarily a 112 collector, when they released a few different 112s in the We are Knifemakers sale, I wanted them all but at the time, but I couldn't swing it and so settled for one. Now, I have some sadness because I know I probably will never get the ones I passed on. But it's a first-world problem, for sure. However, if they had done this in a 112 for $500, I don't think I would have bitten on it. Maybe.

Usually, their retail price is twice wholesale. I am guessing they are making about $300 or so on shipped ones. Nothing wrong with profit😀
 
I just keep dropping down a level with brands when it get too profitable. They do fine without me. Went from Strider to CRK to Buck… as the prices surged. I’m sure I’ll be somewhere else again at some point. At some point brands become art collecting and tulip trading, and usually that’s closing call for me.

Wholesale doesn't apply in this case since they're selling direct to consumer. They're the retailer when we buy from the website, so they get the full markup above cost to build/operate as profit. Buck probably makes something like twice as much profit from a website direct consumer sale vs. a sale to a retailer like SMKW who then sells to consumer and takes a portion of the profit.
