Didn't pay attention when I got the new catalog but just noticed that even though Buck has a photo of the Paradigm in their Every Day knife section it's no longer actually listed. I've got both models so I guess except for the limited edition I'm not missing out but I always hate to see an innovative design like the Paradigm go away. I really like both of mine.
 
Sorry to hear that. The Paradigm is my favorite non Buck 110 knife.

I was excited for a couple years when there was talk of bringing out a Paradigm 110, but it never happened.

I was carrying one last weekend at a brother's party. Loaned him the opened knife to cut into a couple boxes, then he tried closing it and couldn't. I've always had fun letting people try to open or close it that don't know how the mechanism works.

Luckily I have a couple of each model including the DM ones. My user DM Paradigm will outlast me.

Not sure what you are saying here???? The 336 & 337 are still for sale in 2015 take a look at the 2015 price list.

I'm saying that they are no longer listed on Buck's website even using the search function. As I stated in my first post I didn't notice if they were in the new catalog which I didn't have with me when I posted earlier. Glad they are in the catalog though not being on their website seems odd.
 
I don't even look at their knives on the Buck web site any more. Most of the time if I want a Buck knife I can find it cheaper searching the open web for it. They offer us a good discount deal and a knife you want is not available???? Lost sales for them frustration for us. BH I hope it's just another Buck web error and not a look into the future. Like you I am a big fan of the Para's and would hate to see them go.

Yeah, I hope it's just a fluke with the website. I know they have several limited edition Paradigms but they are pretty high dollar. I'd love to see them come out with some new production offerings. Maybe some carbon fiber scales or G-10 similar to what's used on the Lochsa. Add a 440c blade and I'd be buying one.
 
The website cannot be depended upon for determining if something is in the product line.
It is never a complete listing. Limited editions are never there either.
