New B.U.K. model (Basic Utility Knives)

[J. Neilson]

I've had several people asking me about making a very basic, small utility work knife. Something without any bells and whistles. Just a durable, inexpensive worker. So to answer that request (and keep up with the current market), here's what I have come up with. Let me know what you think.

B.U.K. (Basic Utility Knife)
This is a no-frills, no-nonsense work knife. These B.U.K.'s are forged from 1/8" thick 1080 high carbon steel (6" overall with a 2 3/4" cutting edge) and have a satin finish. The handle scales are 1/8" thick Micarta (the above in maroon) with stainless steel for one pin and a stainless steel lanyard liner as the second. These knives come with a molded Kydex sheath with a removable/reversible belt loop. This allows the knife to be carried on the right or left side...or remove the loop altogether for pocket or (adding a cord/chain) neck carry.

I have one B.U.K. with maroon linen Micarta scales and a "high ride" sheath and one in white paper Micarta scales and a standard sheath available. (Sheaths are not interchangeable)
Price, with Kydex sheath: $175.00, plus shipping.

Very nice knives, no two ways about it. But, at $175.00, they fall outside what I would consider to be "inexpensive".

That's just me, though. I am notoriously cheap!

[xaman]

They look great! (all your work does)

6" o/a is pretty small, they look "bigger" than that. Any chance of a pic in hand?

well, this isn't a SAK, is it? this is a handmade knife from a renowned maker. $175 is a very reasonable price.

I'm afraid that I am rather cheap as well,they look great and I'm sure are worth every penny but a $45 PSK knife from Razorback is about my budget limit for a small user.
Sweet little knives though and if I had the money I would no doubt have one !
Great work !!!:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Nice design! Perfectly versatile and very handy looking blade. Kydex looks good too.

Being reasonable & being able to afford it are 2 entirely different things.

I suppose that would be the mentality when you frequent WAL-MART to often, nothing like a good old $9.99 packy knife but hey, that's just my opinion. Nice J.

Guys,

Negative comments in a for sale thread are way over the top and out of line.
Please refrain from them in the future.

 

[J. Neilson]

Jeez guys, come on. Eveyone has their own opinion and that's just fine.

Here's the overhead, in-hand shot I promised.

 

[hangmans joke]

yeah i suffer from another case of foot and mouth disease. i apologize to mr Neilson and bladeforums for my reply. i was reading the posting and agreed with what some had said and stuck foot in mouth and should have not posted what came out of mouth. again i offer apology and will remember this post if i have anymore dumb remarks. the knife is a beautiful piece of work and very nice that part i originally stated was true. keep the knives coming Mr Neilson.
