What's up with the "utility holes" on the new Nighthawks?

[Blue Sky]

If they feel that their collaborations can help sell knives, I am all for it.

I agree. I hope Buck sells tons of them, as long as they keep making the 110, 112, 119's etc. for the rest of us of course.

It is a TOPS/Buck Nighthawk. TOPS puts that dot-dash-dot hole pattern on their products.

A Buck knife forum is not a good place for airing your dislike of another knife manufacturer.

TOPS marketing is not unusual, its workmanship is solid, its materials are common to many good knives, its designs are so varied that different tastes are well accounted for, and we all would like to pay less and get more.

Don't let it bother you, but please don't turn this thread into an unnecessary rant against an honest business.

I think Esav has it right on all counts

I think the holes are for ventilation.

Also used as a military signal whistle if you hold the lanyard and twirl the knife around real fast.

You can send different messages by placing duct tape strategically over selected holes.
