March Madness: March BOTM is an 838 Auto: Armor Black Cerakoted MagnaCut steel,

[DrMegabyte]

Was hoping we'd find out by today.

My bet is a release later today ... If so, you will see this thread get renamed, i.e., the word "Speculate" will be removed ...

Ok I suspect release will be Wed. or Thursday. Unlikely to see a release this late in the day ...

I was surprised it wasn't a St. Paddy's day release like the past few (if I recall correctly).

The odds of green cerakote just decreased.

The odds of green cerakote just decreased.

Personally I think that's a positive. I'm not at all a fan of cerakote for blades.

I don't think you'll get much argument there.

I like the green 112 I got last year, it’s in my carry knife rotation.

 

[timbits588]

Well, it's going to be a pass for me. Post up pictures for those that grab it, though.

 

[Happy Hippo]

Well, a couple of your predications came true.

Another auto, first BOTM auto, interesting. Nice looking blade but i'm tapped out after stealth run #13.

Kool knife!!
Way too pricey for me though!!

[DrMegabyte]

That's a hard pass for me. Cool knife, but not something that I'd ever use or collect.

I've looked at the regular 838's off and on, but I'm not really any auto guy.

My wallet is safe this month.

This is a pass for me. Cerekote on the blade, too expensive, and where I live, illegal.

 

[Tecate]

I appreciate that they continue to introduce a variety of models in the BOTM releases. This particular color combination is not for me.

Not something I'm interested in. Pass. I do like the anodized camo handle.
