Where are the new 301's & 303's ?

Yes. I also picked up one of the large Founder's Edition Ranges they had. They'd brought 20 to the show they said, though it will be another month or so before they start hitting the vendors, according to them. I held the small, and it's uhhhh...it's VERY small.

Yeah, at just over 2.5", it may be just what some are looking for, but it's a little small for me. The big one sounds about right.

Post in thread 'What's your newest Buck knife'

A couple of my newest Bucks from BLADE show!

Buck brought a lot of pretty CKS builds, and they had some of their new knives as well. They brought twenty of these "Founder's Edition" 791s and I couldn't get my money out fast enough! I don't know whether it was twenty of each color, or just twenty total, I candidly didn't ask. They had both the large/regular and the mini size. The CKS build is a large Spitfire with Marble carbon fiber and a Magnacut blade. I love the both of these very, very much, so let's see a few pics!

What don’t you like about it? Have you tried out the Larrin 501? Incredible magnacut on this blade! View attachment 2898179

I have a 110 and a 112 still. The 110 took a roll in the blade almost immediately when cutting cardboard. (I don't cut a lot of cardboard....). So I grabbed the 112. It lasted longer than the 110 before it took a roll, but still far quicker than expected for the most miraculous blade steel known to man.

By comparison, I have a 110 in S90V thats cut everything from cardboard to game regularly, and despite all the use, it still has the factory edge, though I admit after all these years, it will soon visit the stone.

Buck's S30V, CPM154, 154CM, S35VN and S45VN have all withstood considerably more than the Magnacut did. By a wide margin.

I have a couple of MKC knives in Magnacut as well. I've carried one regularly for several weeks and its holding up as well as the other steels Ive listed. I dont know how i havent broken the tip off yet!?!

So... it's not that I don't like Magnacut, I'm just not a fan of Buck's Magnacut.

I"m not hating on Buck by any means. I have more Buck Knives than I care to admit.

Since I know how to sharpen a blade, ease of sharpening isn't a factor I consider. I prefer toughness, hardness, and geometry over ease of sharpening and coolness.

I personally, in my use feel Buck's Magnacut compares best to their 420HC than anything.
Your experience may be different, and that's okay! I wont critice anyone for it. We all have different expectations of a blade and this just doesnt meet mine.
