View attachment 829295 I don’t think Buck will reissue the Ti 186’s and 560’s. The company that made the molded handles burnt to the ground. The equipment was highly specialized. A CNC’ed version would be cheaper to set up, but the production time per piece would kick the price.
picked up this goodie from an employee this weekView attachment 829208
The goocher was a long conveyer belt oven with a controlled atmosphere that burned hot enough to melt Titanium and had enough Nitrogen inside to prevent unwanted oxidation. Thanks for the compliment. I try to stock up on things that are no longer available.Yeah I know it burnt down. I bought some handles off a guy at work there after it burnt down. I just wish buck find some other company that would make them for them again. I see you like the 186 and the 560s like me. Nice collection.

No, the blade is sharpened rubber.What makes this a trainer? Is the blade unsharpened?
