Limited Factory Run knives released 2/21/2023 | 191 Zipper released 3/16

The stockman is 'interesting' ? Double the price of a regular issue for carbon fiber scales. Scratching my head, do I need this ? Not drinking a beer yet (have to stop scratching my head to do that) so I'm thinking no for the price ?

And, I hope they don't look like the picture in the email. Center of CF looks faded/worn/not good compared to the outer part of the CF.

So the Open Season shows a belt clip but comes with a sheath.......?

I always sorta wanted the be!t clip version, but I prefer the lock back anyways.

Where were you ten minutes ago?? I didn't think of it like that and if I did, I probably wouldn't have ordered one 🤣 I did have a beer so I'm gonna blame it on that...

I'm looking for someone to convince me that I want this, I hate when I use logic in my decision making process. And, those cans of beer always win every conversation I ever have with them : )
 
I just noticed the email and ordered that 301. As it happens, I have a paperstone 301 in my pocket right now, and love it when they try out new materials.

Sadly, no beer tonight. I gotta pick up my kid from band practice later.

Isn't there a huge fan base here for the GCK's? Somebody outta tell them.

They have made numerous errors before.

There weren't many "Thanks" spoken when the knife received didn't match the description.

I can't say what Buck will ship to you but a quick look on the bay shows the 547 with clip and sheath. Yes, I also hate when the information is incorrect.

had to sit and think for a little while to convince myself I don’t need any new knives 😄

That wood-grain carbon fiber 301 REALLY speaks to me. Looks great, and 420HC is my preferred Buck steel as well.

But as was said above, doubling the price seems a bit much for just alternate scale material.

Yeah the price/value equation on regular 301's is pretty great. This one is a bit more subjective. I think there was a 301 BOTM in 2019 that was just under $100. Fancy covers with 420HC. For comparison, I think the street price was around $45. Someone might remember a few more details about that.

I scored a Tanto GCK. I really don't have the disposable ca$h, but have always regretted not getting one when they were readily available. I wasn't going to make that mistake again.

I think you will be happy. The GCK is one of my favorite Buck knives. Something about the looks and balance, instantly became my favorite.

Thanks, I know you're correct. I love Buck and 5160, so the GCKs and "Compadre" stuff were sure to be winners for me. I ain't really much of a Tanto guy but seem to prefer the aesthetics over the spearpoint just a bit. I figured I'd like the GCK but it's good to actually read your affirmation on screen. Like I posted, I kinda' went "into the red" to grab this.
