What's your newest Buck knife

The Buck 846 Vantage Force I ordered from Buck Knives in Idaho last week delivered here in eastern NC this morning. My first Sandvick 13C26 stainless steel blade (Oxide coated or Cerakoted). Got here in time to go fishing for Old Drum tomorrow night down on the ICW. That'll give me a good idea of how it will work out for me. The blade date code is from 2013 and the boxed date is 11/22/23 - the Buck inventory control folks must have found a box of blades a couple years ago and put them in some handles. I like the contrast between the Desert Tan handles and the black blade and clip. OH

That's a good looking knife.
Hope it works out for you.
 
I picked up a smooth red 301 that date's to 1990 to go along with my sawcut 301 that dates to 1992. Just a couple of years apart but bookend the change-over from a two-spring to a three-spring frame and slightly different logos on the shields. It's seen plenty of use but still solid - I'm not sure if I'll keep it as a user or send it off to Buck for a spa day.
