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.
 
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

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.
 
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?!
 
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.
