May 2021 Buck of the Month - 830 Marksman D2

[Vaporstang]

I am going to pass on this one. I had already decided I was not going to get one, but the Star Wars comparison made me pause for a moment....

 

[IDhorace]

I was going to pass as well, but s-i-l and 2 grandsons are HUGE Star Wars fans, so to add to my cool Grampa personna this one had to happen. Next month I hope it's a pink Budgie or something so I can take a rest.

 

[Bandages]

It's not even real star wars day, that's May 25th. Don't have a D2 yet though...

 

[Jeff of the North]

I'm still waiting for someone to make the R2-D2 Connection...

I got mine!! Ye old 67 birthday on the 21..I know it's not a 112 but I like D2 and the White handle is a winner for me..

Might be gone by morning...75 left.

I've always wanted to try out a Buck flipper and almost bought a tanto point from the Web specials. But I think this is a classy dress up version and I really like the white handle.

 

[Makael]

Powder coat white with 154CM Tanto and Carbon Fiber inserts. Close to the current BOTM. Love the Marksman model.

 

[bucksway]

Mike I REALLY like that one! What is the story about it? Pure Custom?

 

[Daniel]

There are only 29 left right now!!

They sold much faster than I anticipated.

 

[GPyro]

Thanks for video.
I like "flip knives", but don't really care for liner locks.
I always thought a back lock flipper would be cool....
And then I watch your video.

Man hanging out here can get expensive.

 

[Mitch110]

A knife that looks like a Stormtrooper and is named Marksman ?

 

[Chuck Death]

How can you see the quantity?
When I put it in my cart with a high number it just says limit of 3

Never seen this. 829 body with 831 blade.

 

[Bruce Allen]

Another Meh.

BOTM's are rapidly fading into mediocrity. I did buy last month's pink camping knife but can't say it's a stunner like BOTM's of the past. (I was curious about the D3 and might rehandle it)

My wallet could use a break anyway.

What's up with Buck ? Even their Legacy knives were a disappointment this year. ( I did buy the Kalinga though, but that's because it's a Kalinga)

Mike I REALLY like that one! What is the story about it? Pure Custom?

Marksman Elite frame with tanto blade. Employee build? Buck playing around with an optional LE buildout? I'm not sure exactly the history but was part of a collection purchased a couple years ago.

 

[Tecate]

Well...sold out. Long wait for the next BOTM. Those of you that purchased...please post some pictures. Possibly with your favorite Star Wars figurines...lol.

 

[SOLEIL]

im out of this one. not a fan of cerekote on knives

 

[IDhorace]

Ok, so mine came today. For those of you wanting pictures...


Leaving it up to you to decide if it was worth it or not. I'm glad I had the earlier on to put it with. And I do like the drop blade better than the tanto. But, maybe that's just me?

 

[GPyro]

I agree, the drop point is better.
Nice knife.
