Limited Editions Released Today (2/19/2020)

I would guess Joe used blades from the BCCI Chipflint Buffalo horn 110/112 from back in 2011-2012. They are the only Chipflint blades that I remember. That would explain the shorter blade. Up until just a few short years ago 112 drop point blades were extremely rare. The very first 112 drop points were modified 500 Custom blades done by Chuck and Leroy. But only a handful were made. My favorite DP 112 blade is the Boone and Crockett 2013 LE. A high radius grind..

It must really look striking Makael if you broke down and bought one..It will make a nice pair with that copper framed unsharpened Club 112 you have! DP I think you are right about the blade coming from a 109 Yellowhorse project. That was the first 112 that had a chipflint blade and predates the Club knifes by quite a few years. I remember seeing a set (5 or 6 different models?) 12 years ago or more here in Florida when there was a real knife shop in Dunnellon. The owner went to the back room and brought it out to show me. He said the black blades were especially rare but I think all the black ones were fixed blades.. farm since you have 2, two of the 112's consider using one as a parts knife! Creating a one of one Custom with the unique handle or blade this one has opens up a lot of possibilities. The high radius grind blade out of the 2013 Boone and Crockett 112 mirror polished would look fantastic with this handle..
 
In addition to the the 112 I posted yesterday...I received the other two knives I ordered today.

The 640XL is interesting...you can see they used a 124 blade and stamped over it. Is this common for the 640XL? Also interesting that a 124 blade with a 2018 date code would be 440C steel.

never seen that before.
 
The knife looks awesome. The sheath compliments it very well.
The fit and finish on it is very well done.
I wish the handle was thicker. It seems a little thin for a fixed blade knife.
As a collectable it's great...…...
My 117s are users. I'll probably send this one back...…. sigh.:(:oops:

I like that 640.
It reminds me of a 124 I got from Mike.
The stamp over wouldn't bother me.
If anything it tells the knife's origin.

I called Buck this morning and talked to them about the double-stamped 640XL. They talked to Joe H. and decided to send me a shipping label to send it in so they can address the issue. It will be interesting to see what is done. :thumbsup:
