Buck 501 in S30V?

[Eli Chaps]

Is the only way to get the S30V version of this and other Bucks to go through the factory customization? Do they sell them outright anywhere?

 

[PirateSeulb]

Other than special runs done for BOTM or a SFO for vendor exclusives then the Buck Custom shop is the only way currently as they do not have a current production model of the 501 in that steel. You could look around the 2ndary market for one made in the past if they have done that steel outside of the custom shop before on that model

I haven’t seen them in s30v but DLT trading has some in S35vn. One in green micarta and one in black. Decent price too.

Then you might be interested in one from SKBlades called the Goodfella that has cpm154 blade with burlap micarta. I have one and it’s a fantastic knife.

Thanks! Those are, uh hum, sharp.

Yeah I've looked at SK Offerings and as wonderfully done as they are, the burlap Micarta doesn't sing to me. I look at them often though to see if I'm warming up to them and do admire the craftsmanship.

There are people, on this forum and not, that can re-cover any knife to your liking. The added expense spread out over the life of the knife is not that much...especially if you love and use it.

S30V/S35VN and clip point please

I personally like the Goodfella but those DLT 501's don't do anything for me. I just got a CKS 501 with S30V and palmwood but I don't have a pic of it yet.

I didn't think I would like it. I was wrong. It's my most carried knife and I even bought a second one just in case. The barehead sets it apart from the pack and also reduces weight. Must be seen in person though.

 

[kossetx]

Barehead is the way to go...

Wow, Kossetx! Those look awesome. That’s all wood from your property, isn’t it? Pretty cool

Thanks, my 8 year old iPad camera doesn't do those woods justice.

I'll add my vote for the DLT/SK Blades offerings. I like all of them. In case you can't tell, the 501 is one of my favorite patterns.

Or you could just go the CS route to get S30V

I have a Buck Custom Shop 501 with water buffalo horn and a S30v blade and to be honest it is great. It is worth he wait and cost to get one from Custom Shop.

L lambertiana and Makael thank you for sharing, can I ask what the wood choices are you two have on those CS offerings?

 

[st8yd]

This one is from the custom shop, Buckeye burl, S30V.
