... whether or not Buck will EVER make even ONE real old pattern Remington or if they're even CONSIDERING the possibility or discussing it with Remington--because.......if they don't make a real one.......what's the point of all this?
It would be nice to know if it's even a possibility.
According to Mr. Hubbard in post number 44, Remington chose to go with the 500 instead of one of the 300 series, to do something different.
AFAIK Remington has never done a lockback bullet knife before.
As for "ONE real old pattern Remington ...": What pattern did Remington make (before PAL, since the PAL knives "are not a 'real' Remington", but are just a rebranded PAL) that no one else did?
AFAIK, Remington offered the same patterns (and probably a few less; for example, I don't think I've ever seen a Remington "Gentleman's" knife) as everyone else.
Since the Bullet Knives have historically changed every year, perhaps next year will see a 300 series Bullet Knife.
Who knows? Maybe Remington and Buck will bring back one of the 300 series that is out of production that Buck still has the tooling for. The large 2 blade fish knife, maybe? (I don't know if Buck made that in house, by the way.)
Obviously, you are disappointed with what Remington chose this year, and do not like it. That's fine. No one is forcing you to buy one (or more). Wait until next year, and buy whatever they come up with then. But
only if you like it.
