The Buck wish list thread

Nah I love the coping blade, plus I always keep a 58mm Victorinox on me and am worried that the Buck scissors might not be as good which is why I still haven't added a clipper to my 305 arsenal.

Yes, it’s hard to beat the Victorinox scissors. I keep a Rambler in my work laptop bag. From memory, I think Buck used Wenger scissors from their SwissBuck collaboration period? My Dad always carried a Lancer or Clipper - lost count of how many times one fell out of his pocket in his Lazy Boy and my brother and I fished it out of the cracks for him.

Yeah, those Vic scissors are pretty good. Most days I have a Rambler on my keys. Whenever I happen to swap it out for an alox cadet, that also happens to be the day I could really use the scissors.

Back to Buck knives: yes, bring back the 305. In pretty colors please. Or black. Not too picky.

I do believe they used Wenger scissors at some point.

Cool idea.🤔
I view a 55 as a pocket knife, and I'm not putting a 55 auto in my pocket.😯

With the way they recess the button,I think I could carry one in my pocket organizer like I do all of my pocket knives without issue.
If you don't subscribe to the pocket organizer philosophy, then I guess we can wish for it with a safety switch.
 
More. Options. In. The. Custom. Shop.

C'mon Buck, you just sent me an e-mail titled "Better late than never" touting the custom shop. I click and for both the 916 and the 124 that i'm interested in, all you offer is 420HC.

Give me choices, and I don't mean just S30V.
 
It seems SO EASY for Buck to just drop off a few super steel blades and just say "While supplies last "..At the last Blade Show I asked CJ 3 times to do just that for 112 drop points and afterwards worried he got mad at me.
I check the Custom shop weekly just to see if I need to send Buck hundreds of bucks..

Well that was kinda my thinking, I check each time I get an e-mail about the custom shop, but i'm sure it's probably way more time consuming and expensive than I think it is. Not here to complain, just to post wishes in this hyar thread. 🙃
 
'twas the night before Christmas
and I was all outta luck
not a grinder was whirring
in custom shop Buck

So I sanded and stropped
my blades with all care
in hopes that Magnaclaus
soon would be there

When all of a sudden
such a noise did I hear
it freaked out the cat
and I spit-taked my beer

Ran out side
and what did I see
CJ Buck hauling a**
in an old SUV

He was laughing and throwing
out boxes labeled PRO
to all the little Buck nuts
under the mistletoe

He winked as he threw out a box to me
stuck his head out the window, and shouted with glee:
"On 3V and 4V, both folding and fixie
on D2 and Elmax and 5160!"

Then he roared as he floored it
the crazy old nutter:
"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD CUTTER!"

😜

it's important to remember over 100 plus years ago George Shrade created the recessed button auto. he figured out real quick it didn't work and was a terrible and unsafe idear. he stopped making them and went to a safety.

many decades later everyone smart made autos with safeties that is until benchmade decided to patent a safety on a pushbutton and legally went after everyone who used them. they all stopped due to legal economic reasons and went back to George's recessed button idear which never worked. reason being is it was all they had that was cheap and easy and avoided benchmades legal chase on everyone. not cause it was a good idear.

it's funny how history is forgotten by humans so quickly....and I guess why society never seems to learn from it's past mistakes....

anyways.....
 
On a similar note, Volvo shared the idea of 3 point seatbelts, and Mercedes shared the idea of crumple zones on vehicles....

All shared with others in the name of safety for everyone.

Don't companies like Piranha or something still successfully sell autos with out a safety?
I'd imagine the button is just extra stiff or something.

they do sell push button autos without safeties. no the button isn't extra stiff and no they aren't safe for pocket carry. belt sheath carry sure. sheaths acts as the safety.
 
How about a re release of earlier discontinued knives in a 3 - 5 knife series. Preferably with scalloped wood or bone handles. Maybe an updated steel, with a classic look. Definitely a mini alpha. Maybe a USA made canoe...

Well my sample size is very small, but ironically, the only auto i've ever had deploy in my pocket, was a Benchmade. I had the safety off because it was quite frankly an annoyance, seemed silly to defeat the purpose of a one-hand opening knife to have to drag out of my pocket and use both hands to pry off the very stiff safety before I could use it. It popped open one day and I had enough of it, sold it the next day.

We now have two side openers and two OTF's, none with a safety, and have had several years now of no issues at all. go figure. :rolleyes:
