The Buck wish list thread

[texpat]

So forgive the temerity of my post, I am mr. member nobody, but just saw what seemed like an idea that might be useful. I have seen numerous posts about folks wishing for a particular model or combination of features from Buck, the BOTM guess threads are especially full of wish lists for knives people hope Buck will make. So I thought maybe make a thread solely for this purpose, and Buck might find it helpful, it's pretty obvious they do listen to suggestion here as i've seen numerous recommendations that became reality, my own included. So please post your Buck wish list when you have time!

Just a couple off the top of my head:

1. A return of the 632 Mesa, in 3V or 5160 with the same micarta scales as the one I have in 420HC. Great all-around blade.

2. An 877 Maverick at much larger scale, love the design, wife actually owns the one we have, she picked it out at the Buck factory store when we made our pilgrimage there, would love to see a full-size version of this knife, 5-7" blade in pretty much any steel.

In no particular order:
1. An affordable 532 bucklock.
2. A return to the older style blade with the robust clip.
3. A slab-sided 100 series fixed blade with a flat leather sheath with a Gerber mark ii retaining snap.
4. Lanyard holes in the stock 110.
5. Checkering on the stock 110 wood.

A-Drop point of any kind for the 112 in the Custom shop.
B- S35VN, S45VN and Magancut for the 112 in the Custom shop.
C- Drop point of any kind for the 112 in the Custom shop.. ..

Yes! I think my Boone and Crockett is ironwood, and I'd love to see something like it in regular production.

While we're on the subject I'd love to see some colorful valox scales for the 300 series. I have a yellow 301 from 30+years ago, but I'd love to have one from now.

I'm going to stick with the ones I always post on these threads:
1. My longest running ask - a custom shop option for a 501 with upgraded steel (there have been SFOs in S35vn and CPM154 - either of those would do), preferably with a return of buckeye burl.
1A. custom shop options for a 503 to match the above.
2. My more recent want: a 105 with stacked leather handle and S35(or S45)vn.

American made slip joints. I’d like to see a Buck LoomFixer

More models with the smooth bone handles to complete the old Bass Pro set

 

[SoDak81]

I'd like to see them bring back some of the discontinued US made slipjoint models from the 300 series. If not, I'd like to see Buck offer stag/elk/buffalo horn options for the 301 and 303.

My wish list is short. Make Magnacut steel an option on all of the knives, especially the 501, in the custom shop!

301 and 303 with a punch in place of the spey. I guarantee Buck would sell at least one of each

 

[TimButterfield]

Since we are just wishing...

In no particular order:

More Magnacut blades
Magnacut option on customs
Serrated blade option on customs
Micarta and G10 options on customs - Having a light/natural G10 we could have dyed different colors (ourselves, if needed) would be nice also.
Barehead option on customs
No bolster option on customs
Slim/Select/Pro/LT options for 110/112 customs, with or without thumb studs and/or clips
In addition to Micarta or G10, have different color nylon handles on Slim customs

I would love a way to create a 110/112 Slim custom that is equivalent to a Spyderco Magnacut 'Salt' model so it would not easily rust in a marine type environment.

 

[Slice-and-dice]

Love to see the 111 come back with a lanyard hole and wood scale options

 

[FranklinG]

I gotta say, though, I'm pretty glad the Budgie isn't in the Custom Shop. I'd spend waaay too much time playing with all of the custom options. I like small knives.

301 and 303 with a punch in place of the spey. I guarantee Buck would sell at least one of each

Probably at least two of each. I've been thinking of getting a Case with a punch, but I don't like the '18 frame as much as the 301 or 303.

Love to see the 110 and 112 Slim series available with four-way pocket clips. I prefer tip-down carry.

300 series slipjoints (301, 303 ..... and while you're at it, bring back an American-made trapper!) with:

* Flat-ground blades
* A proper amount of snap
* And some scale colors other than black. Start with yellow! Have the people at Buck HQ seen what yellow-handled Buck slipjoints go for on eBay?!

 

[jbmonkey]

I'll go simple and something that Buck could do easily...add 5160 to the custom shop for steel options........especially the 119 and 124.....thanks.....

 

[RevolverGuy]

1. An upgraded Bantam with wood, aluminum, G10, or micarta handle.
2. Another Buck/Tops collaboration.
3. Custom shop options for stag and ram's horn.
4. 110 with a 112 blade. Maybe call it the "110 Ranger".
5. Reengineer the drop point 110. Something about that blade always looks goofy to me. It needs a deeper belly or slightly shorter length.

 

[SoDak81]

I wish they would bring the old fancy Buck script lettering back on their blades. Such an iconic look.

 

[Jeff of the North]

I don't need anything special so I'm going to go the sappy route on this one and wish for my Buck friends a very happy and healthy 2024.

Bring back Paper Stone handles on the 300 and 110/112 series knives. In multiple colors,
