What would you like to see Buck produce?

A reboot of the old Bucklite 422/426, first versions, two piece scales. Still my all time favorite Buck and check out how big the Bucklite/selector thread is! I think that would be a good seller based on that thread.
A 300 series, black sawcut(same as current 300 scales) Jack Knife about the size of the 303 and maybe a 309 size.
A 110 to the exact dimensions as the original first versions, (skinnier) but out of todays diamondwood and steel so they are affordable.

I picked up a two of your 5160, 110's. One to put away and one to use, but they are so nice I haven't used the user yet! Ordered one on a Fri. afternoon and it was in my box Monday morning and the same thing with the other.
 
More knives with the SLS. I'd like to see a 4" clip point with that and a more traditional aesthetic. Honestly, I'd like to see their modern line more heavily influenced by their traditional aesthetics in general. Their lockback models, not just the 110 but nearly all of them, are distinctive enough that I can diagnose them as a Buck (or clone) from 50 yards. It would be very cool to see that design language echoed with an eye towards modern convenience.
 
How about a "Lochsa" that is reasonably priced with a drop point S30V blade similar in shape to the 898.

I'd like to see Buck create a new line of the folding Kalinga 419 with a variety of wooden scale choices.

This.
 
I'd love to see the bucklite fixed blades with thicker handles for a more camping oriented knife. They're just a little too thin for extended carving so with a thicker handle they'd be a good US made mora competitor.
 
Buck knives in themselves are great, the sheaths leave something to be desired with quality leather, placement of rivets. Yes, I just got a new Vanguard this week fyi :)
 
A double blade 110/112 size knife. Both blades would lock.
One could be a clip or drop point, the other fully serrated.
Paperstone or plastic handles, with a pocket clip.
Basically I want an old selector, with a pocket clip and double locks.

This would be my perfect work knife.
Also no small recurve grind on the blades that seems to be the norm on a lot of the new folders.
 
I would like to the 532 knife brought back. Would like to more scale options that where bone. Like moose antlers
 
A 3 1/2 or 3 5/8 inch closed Barlow would be nice, maybe with a Sheepsfoot or Lambsfoot main coupled with a pen secondary?
 
I'd like to see a limited run of the original style Buck 124 - any good steel (5160 or SS) with the tang/handle/pommel similar to the current Buck 119/120. OH

The name escapes me at the moment but about 10 years ago Buck made a 110 with both a 110 and a 112 blade at the same end. Don't recall if both blades locked and as I said, the actual name escapes me but I've always thought they looked cool and would love to add one to the collection at some point. A reissue would be great IMHO
 
bring back a real custom shop so addicts like me can waste all their money on 900 series knives....
 
I'd like to see a 124 with a 5160 blade and brass pommel, guard, and pins. The black micarta handle would match the other 5160 offerings, but a maroon micarta handle would really look great. I'd really like to see brass hardware on this knife, which would match the rest of the line, but my second choice would be stainless. Aluminum just doesn't suit this knife if you ask me. A flat grind or saber grind would also be really nice on this knife, making it a true "survival" knife.

A 112 and 110 offered with the corresponding bucklite max blades would really be cool as well. 420 would be fine for the steel, brass frames and cherry wood would be my choice.

My dream knife is a full tang vanguard with brass hardware and a flat grind. Steel would be 420 or 5160 and the handle micarta or some dymondwood (I like the reddish colors with brass). An option of DLC coating (like the cabelas knives) if the blade was 5160 would be a nice touch. This is such a well designed and handy knife I'd just like to see it beefed up a little so that it's better suited for bushcraft and fieldcraft duties.

An uncoated version of the "camp compadre" without the revurve in the blade would be a decent knife as well.
 
I think they have a lot of standard traditional patters in production. However, I would like to see more bone used. Someone mentioned competing with GEC and I think that would be a good place to start. It's not very expensive so they should be able to jump right in. Also, different woods would be nice outside of the custom shop. I like oak but I don't want to shell out a huge chunk of change just to get a 112 with oak handles. I'm always on the fence between carrying a Buck or a Case so I usually end up with both.

Other than that, what I would like to see is everything in the current line up MADE IN THE USA....
