My Buck wish list for 2011

[Plumberdv]

I really doubt that it will happen, but I'd like to make a New Years wish (a bit early) for a new Buck for next year. A Limited Edition or a BCCI fundraiser knife would be just fine by me.
I want a Buck like this one,

with a blade like this one!

That would be cool lookin. What is that handle material?

I wont be surprised if you get it Plum

I honestly don't remember what it is. It appears to be bone or something like that. I've had it for several years and I can't find the box.

I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for Buck to fullfill my wish though!

Good idea, I'd forgotten that those "other" forums even existed!
I just posted it in the traditional forum so we'll see if I get an answer.

Looks like Ironwood to me.

I'm pretty sure you're right about the 532. I don't know what the Case handles are and no one so far on the Traditional forum has come up with the answer either.

The Case looks to be Leopard spotted cow bone IMHO. But, what the heck do I know.

Bingo, Leopard it is. I just located another Case with the same scales. Thanks for jogging my memory.

Id like a 110 or 120. nickel silver bolsters and pins, finger grooves, and a red linen micarta handle

When does Buck roll out their new models for 2011?

Sky,

The 2011 catalog will be sent to all of us BCCI members around the March time frame. So we still have some time to wait.

You know, on second thought, that maybe African Blackwood. My record keeping leaves much to be desired!

 

[mhasman]

I also think that 532 is Ironwood. Desert wood has BG-42 blade with Boss logo, and African Blackwood scales have more deep dark color. Can't find photo of mine...

The model number on the box may be the key: 0532IWSBP5-B. Perhaps the IW stands for Ironwood? The cat. number is 9522 and the date is 04/25/2008.

 

[David Martin]

Correct on the handle material . The Case blade looks like a Warncliff style . DM

As I am not the owner of the knife the type of wood is not a concern to me Dave. But, whatever kind of wood it is, that photo is pure eye candy. Thanks for sharing it with us. I remember a Duke 500 with Ironwood and it had the same eye appeal as your 532.

Here I sit admiring your 532 and I'm thinking to myself......"I don't really find the 532 to be one of my favorite models, it only looks nice with Bark Stag, or M Ivory, or Paua & Pearl, or Mokume & Apple Coral, and now Ironwood. Well I guess I do like the 532 more than I thought"...LOL

You're right David. Thanks.

Well then John, if you like that one, you might even like this one too.

Or this one,
