Buck Hawbaker (or very close)

I know it has been mentioned more than once that many would like a clip and sheepsfoot or wharncliffe as a knife offering. Instead I bought a Alox Electrician and I like it. But look at this, flat grind, long pull...if there are any left. I do wish it had a shield.

I too am a big fan of wharncliffe and sheepsfoot blades...this Buck is quite nice, although a bit expensive!

I'd like it more about $15 cheaper.

I saw that today. It’s very similar to our forum knife from a couple years ago, but with micarta instead of elk.

Shades of the 2018 Forum knife ... Difference: Forum knife has CPM 154 blades and Elk covers, vs 420HC and Micarta.
Both are FFg with long pull on both the sheepsfoot and clip blades, and both have the Spey delete.

This is such a great variation of the Buck 301.

I hope they make this version again with jig bone or nice wood covers.

I am not a micarta fan on traditional knives, otherwise I would buy this. I think the price is fair.

Anyone know - is this a single spring?

-edit- One on the way. I will know soon enough

Buck likes to use one spring for each blade, so I doubt it.

I dont think so.

Buck?

Yes, the forum knife was a 2-blade Buck 301

Unquestionably 2 spring. They'd have to redesign the spring to make it two blades sharing one spring.
The standard 300 series has a spring for each blade. No blades share a sping; Idaho or offshore made.

FWIW the overall width of a standard 3 blade 301 is about the same as my 2 spring 3 blade Rough Ryder, Marbles, Schrade USA and offshore Schrade. The 2 blade 301 Forum knife is about 1/16 inch thinner at the bolster han a standard 3 blade 301. View attachment 1645867

Thank you. That’s the perfect photo to show it.

yeah ... but I neglected to include a 2 spring 3 blade stockman.

No worries. Helpful to see the lack of a third liner between the blades, keeping the width reasonably slim.
I never found a good use for the spey, so this two blade stockman saves me a little weight and width.

A lot of money for 420HC.

2018 BF knife by Buck...

 

[mbkr]

A lot of money for 420HC.

I don't disagree, but I've found Buck's 420HC to be every bit as serviceable as GEC's 1095. It won't patina, but that's neither good or bad, just different.

I picked one up, I just hope it has better snap and action then my 18 forum knife. I still use and carry it but it’s lack of snap disappoints me every time I use it.

I grabbed one of these also. I love the black micarta and September is my birth month, always a good excuse to grab a new knife!
