May 2026 BOTM - 791 Range Elite with a bunch of Starwars references = Awesome!

After six years, I think Buck has jumped the shark on the May the 4th BOTM releases. Buck states "Galaxy-worn Stormtrooper White Cerakoted MagnaCut steel" for the blade, but the handle doesn't look like a stormtrooper. The original May the 4th release in 2021 was a black and white 830 Marksman that was a stormtrooper. I am not sure if this is supposed to be BB8 or something else. If it is not a stormtrooper, then don't state stormtrooper white. I am not impressed with this release.
 
I like the looks of this one! I'm not into this model though, so a pass for me.
 
I’m probably the odd duck here but I don’t like such a thin handle. It makes for a nice pocket carry that you hardly notice it’s there but when I use it that thin handle is harder to grasp and hold on to and my fingers and hands start to cramp up. I prefer a bit more thick handle to get a better grip and less hand fatigue especially when using in extended periods of time.
 
I just picked up a Range Elite this weekend, otherwise I would have jumped on this one. Oh well.

For what it’s worth, I like it quite a bit. Still kicking myself for not getting the May BOTM last year.
 
I have never seen any of the Star Wars movies, or watched even one episode of Star Trek on TV.

N-e-v-e-r ? ! ? ! What do you do with all of that brain space not filled with useless facts ! ? I mean, who even is that guy in Post # 26.

Live long and prosper.

Do or do not. There is no try.

I am your father.

Make it so

Beam me up, Scotty

Never tell me the odds!

I imagine you must look at people like they are crazy when they say these things to you 😁 🤪

A quick Google. Ahsoka Tano. Orange skin, white facial markings. Blue stripes on horns on head. Or the suggestions in Post #16. I bet if you ask Buck sales /marketing which one is correct, the answer will be. Yes.

I dont care about star wars stuff...I kinda like the grooves in the aluminum scale though and dont hate the orange. I dont like the white blade though. plain blade id consider it. im not paying 250 for it, but I kinda like it.
 
Looks like a must-have for collectors, but I'm not interested at all. I have never seen any of the Star Wars movies, or watched even one episode of Star Trek on TV.
You’re not alone, I have seen some star wars trailers on advertising but that’s about it. My sister liked Star Trek back in the day but I always found something else to do. May 4th is just another date as far as I’m concerned.
 
It is a nice looking knife, I like orange and the ornamental decoration is kinda sharp. But it just isn’t my cup of tea. I agree JB I wish they would leave the blades alone and not coated.
