You got some excellent 110s at a fantastic price.I believe right now is THE time to purchase Buck knives.With added requirements,taxes and costs of doing business looming on the horizon,IMHO those costs will soon be passed on to the consumer.The Vantage Avid I purchased in Jan. for $27 is now $37 at the same retailer.I love the knife so much that I'm going to order several more in 1 shot to save on shipping.I'd sure rather pay Buck salaries,than have it go to some crook on Wall street.On that I'm sure we can all agree.:D

:thumbup: Can't even argue that :D LOL
 
We're headed into a period of higher interest rates and inflation so this is a good time to buy.

Also a time to move some assets out of bonds if you have an investment account......bonds tend to take a hit in these periods.

(Assuming we're not all totally invested in knives.)

Ok, I went ahead and ordered one of each from Knifecenter. That makes $700 for Buck this week.....
 
Sooo....I got my email a few days ago from Knifecenter saying they are both back ordered....anyone get an update??????
 
It keeps it more on my mind now that I back ordered them. I spent about $600 on other Bucks on sale last week at SMKWs, so I wanted to commit funds to buying these....Now the offical wait is on....
 
Sadly, the extended period of pre-sell of the Paradigm hasn't helped my expenditure of knife monies - they just went 'else where'. In just over a year, for example, my collection of two Benchmades increased to sixteen. Most were older stock and nicely priced, but fine knives. In fact, I am about to go to purchase a new this year 755. Announced early this year - and promised by late April - they didn't miss the boat by much. That's how you sell knives... advertise what you can make.

I am reminded of Clint Eastwood's famous quote. "A man has got to know his limitations!". If the production finally gets going - and I get the question from a dealer, "Do you want one? Well, do you?", I'll just say, "Go ahead... make my day!". Yeah, I still want one. The BM 755 will empty the coffers for a while, of course.

I should thank Buck for their slow production - I 'discovered' some neat examples from other makers during the wait. I even rediscovered Boker Tree Brand Classics. I also watched Buck drop some modern 'classics', sad to say (Mayo, Kalinga Pro, etc). I haven't totally lost interest in Buck, however.

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of waiting for a new car..release date being pushed back all the time. It would make me wary of buying the car.

Except a knife is not nearly as complex a device as a car. If they finally release them, I'm sure they will be good.

I was flying around Eastern Europe a number of years ago and one flight was delayed for some 36 hours. I was getting very impatient. They kept announcing further delays, saying our safety was of the utmost importance. Finally we were on our way, in an ATR turboprop. In the following weeks some of those very model planes crashed in America. I was relieved and glad that they took the time to investigate a problem with an engine before putting us in the plane.
 
I just noticed one of my suppliers has them in stock. So they should be hitting everywhere soon.

Really!!! Knife center just sent me a email yesterday that they are still on back order!!!!!
 
Any updates? Is there a shipment on conestoga wagon stuck in the snow somewhere? This has been a long wait....
 
I can't understand what the problem is I got the pro model more that three months ago from a guy on the internet. I must say it is a very nice knife but the locking system takes some getting use to.Some of you may want to actually handle one before you buy it.
