Vantage Force-Select

[ono724]

Just picked one of these up at a local tool supply place. It appears to be a sturdy little knife with good F&F, and shaving sharp out of the box. Anyone else have one of these and have any thoughts/comments on it?

Thanks y'all..

I don't have the Select, but I have the Avid. I love the overall look, but found the aluminum handles a little too abrasive for my tender old skin so I replaced them with G10 scales from a regular Vantage Pro.

How do the nylon handles feel in hand?

Plumb- The nylon feels great in the hand. I haven't had the chance yet to use it in wet/slippery conditions, so the jury's still out on that. I was looking at the Buck website, and they show the Vantage Force Pro as currently not available. Do you know if they can still be had elsewhere? Thanks!

Jim, I know that you can get the Force Pro on the bay and I also checked one other online dealer and they have them (the whole line) in stock right now.

The Force Select scales should feel exactly like the non-Force Select scales since they're identical. The same is not true for the Force vs non-Force versions of the Avids and Pros though.
