I guess I'm just not that fond of wood scales that aren't some shade of brown or black or red. Blue wood just doesn't seem right to me. Orange would be a stretch.

There does not appear to be an email address for contacting Buck ANYWHERE in the website. This is hard to believe in this day. You really should have email contacts available for customers who do not have time to call or mail a letter. Get with the times!

If I sold a major product like Buck, I'd to what I could to make sure the best Buck message forum is attached to my website. They're probably not the best forums but I think Jepp and Marlin Firearms have message forums attached to their sites. To use it them, you have to go to their main website and click the Forum button.

It's been mentioned that the website could use more/better pictures. The custom shoppe in particular could do way better than the computer generated images of the wood options on the 110. Other threads in this forum have way nicer pictures of custom shoppe 110's. Just look at the Flaming Koa in this jpeg
posted by Buckaholic -- absolutely stunning. Flaming Koa isn't a common wood anywhere but in Hawaii, and good photos would go a long way to selling more.
If you ask, I'd bet that you could get a lot of very nice images from the members here for the cost of a stamp on their email. FWIW

This idea is a great one on multiple levels. It provides for better illustrations on the website and also gives Buck collectors club members a chance to show off their knives and photos. All at vertually no cost to Buck, since the photos would be donated from the members. :thumbup:

Photos and more info on discontinued knives. If Buck clearly labels that protion of the site as DISCONTINUED (or how about "COLLECTABLE") knives they can avoid confusion with the current product line.

I'd like to see the site more internationally friendly, make custom sales available worldwide. I live in Australia and would love a custom 110. Over here if you ask for a buck knife at a hunting store they ask what's that...
