SHOT Show 2015

I've been waiting for a knife like the Selkirk from Buck for years and they go and add it to the import line. How disappointing. I don't know if I'll pick it up anyway or not. What happened to bringing all production back to the U.S.? I may get the compadre knife but the silly (although slight) recurve drives me nutty. Not sure why buck feels the need to add it to every new knife. It's not very practical for sharpening. I'm guessing that knife has a hollow grind too and I'm not too wild about that on a carbon steel bush knife but I could probably live with it. Nothing else really interests me, but I am impressed with the new hunting knives, just not my thing. Glad to see new stuff coming out. There's plenty of 100 series knives on my wish list to keep me busy for the next year or two. Hopefully by then they make a U.S. made Selkirk.

I like the design and I think a U.S.A made 154CM Selkirk would be a Super Knife. Listen up Buck! I just gave you a Bone.

Agree with all of the above.:thumbup:
 
I'm wounding what happened to bring back all Production to the U.S. as well

I really love the new stuff they are coming out with this year but it sadness me when I see quite a few of them made overseas I thought we were getting out of that.

I'd pay double if the imports where US made really cool designs

I would like a set of the new saltwater spilzors, I wonder though if buck would ever use n680 on anything aimed at saltwater use.
 
Buck messed up a bit more than they thought when they made the decision to make knives overseas and put the buck name on them,now almost all of the older fellas I know that we're buck knives users and lovers have walked into Walmart to see those cheap pocket knives made in China with the buck name on em.

They all think that every buck is made in China and you can't change their minds on it,I hear it all the time.
 
Pretty new to the Buck Forum, and and not wanting to whine too much. But I agree, I really wish the Selkirk and all Buck Knives were made here.

I have sort of renewed my love of Buck Knives. Some due to this forum. Some due to my old 102. I recently purchased a 124 and a 110 Anniversary Edition. And even a Remer Stone tweaker.

I have been in the hunt for a new Fixed Blade Belt Knife. And I heard about the Selkirk. I too was a bit let down when I heard it was made elsewhere.

I may look at tha Brahma 119. Sort of interesting. I may look at the Selkirk too. But what signal does that send?

I may just buy a 105 and a 119 and call it good.

I think the 104 Compadre has the potential to be a great belt knife. Stripped and reshaped a bit, maybe some nice wood with a little more character.

I'm going to be patient and see if a different color coating comes around before taking on a 104 customizing project but one can never tell. My patience can be sporadic. :o:p

Buck and Leatherman!! 2 of my favorite companies!
Don't leave home without them :)

They should collaborate on a project!

Tim Leathers is not associated with Leatherman but with the new Matt Would Go Knife that Buck is making in memory of his son Matt Leathers.

From an article that this picture came from.

CJ Buck, right, President and CEO of Buck Knives, formerly of El Cajon, CA, hugs Tim Leathers after Tim introduced a knife designed by his late Navy SEAL son that will now be manufactured by Buck Knives with proceeds going to the Navy SEAL foundation.

whoops..... Dangit, I knew that, but apparently the flu has fried my brain today, and I should not be posting :D
 
Buried, and almost overlooked, in the Buck Logo Merchandise portion of the 2015 stuff:

Model #95072, Coffee Mug, Black and Green, $16 MSRP, Cat #7922.

If you drink fluids or know someone who does then you need one of these. And the bottom end, unglazed, of a mug serves as a sharpening stone for dull edged knives. Yes it does. Who has a photo of one of these?

Here is Blade HQ's video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=UUZIIkzJ6XQiNeJkha6Ais5g&v=ltGdVXiNjqI

At the end of the video is an imported flipper that was not in the previous videos on this thread.

And here it, Buck Trigger import, is for your viewing pleasure (dual thumb studs and flipper) Ignore all but the last two sentences in KCs description: http://www2.knifecenter.com/item/BU...lade-aluminum-handles-grant-gavin-hawk-design:

Partially serrated and plain versions:

Kinda like the plain edge 865 Trigger. Doesn't look like the pocket clip is reversible for lefties, but these days I carry more in a CCW vest pocket than pants, so pocket clips are becoming less important and have been removed completely from a lot of my folders.

The messed up description on KC doesn't mention it, is this an A/O?
 
I will have to look for a few of these and see what they feel like. And a coffee mug will probably end up at work.
