That looks awesome, the wait is getting harder. What is the closed length, I can't seem to find the info?

I'm almost positive it's 3 7/8" closed.

Buck says 3 7/8 inches on their website.

My 301 and 371's all measure dead-on at 4 inches closed.
The perfect size for a stockman, in my humble opinion, although I do like a good 4 1/4 inch closed stockman, too.

So it should be similar to the GEC 81 in size, very nice.

 

[Will Power]

Yes, but better steel than the GEC in my view, and no brass stinking up matters either, or staining the scales

 

[Pomsbz]

I'm looking forward to the sizing of this one. The main blade is a perfect compromise length. As a package perfect for pocket carry and still long enough to deal with food.

Good point, food prep features in my pocket-knife tasks.

Same here, food tasks are about 40 percent of my daily knife use. The other 60 percent is mostly worry stone duty, with maybe 2 percent reserved for opening miscellaneous packages. This one should handle all those needs, as long as I don't find it too large for my taste.

That is a great looking knife! Glad I ordered two. One for me and one goes in the safe for my first grandson. Got keep carrying traditionals a family tradition.

 

[T. Erdelyi]

Yay! I have one on the way, well when they start shippin’ them I will.

 

[BTGuy]

I didn't think I'd like elk scales, but damn that is one fine looking knife! Thanks for the photo and all your hard work, @skblades!

 

[dsutton24]

I'm amazed that nobody has remarked on how nice that knife looks.

 

[knarfeng]

Looks amazing. Glad I ordered two.

Please remember to use family friendly exclamations and commentary when posting in Traditional. Think 1950's G-rated television and Andy of Mayberry.

"Heck", "Gosh", "Darn", and the ever popular "By Golly" are recommended replacements..

That is a fine looking knife! We are getting closer and closer now...

I am a fan of "Dad Gum!"

And may I say, Dad Gum! But does that knife ever look nice. The elk is looking exactly how I hoped, and the full flat grind is such an improvement. This is gonna be a great knife.

 

[JSutter]

Yes, I really like that pic of the open blades, and if mine only looks half as good then I’ll very happy. My two favorite blades - and BUCK does a nice clip point. A good antler makes a fine pocket knife even better.

I am really looking forward to holding this in my grubby paws.

THANKS! to SKBLADES and BUCK and everyone else who had a part in this.

Between this Forum knife and the release of the Buck slim pros, it’s a very Buck centric end of the year for me. This design looks awesome and I can’t wait to receive it.

Really excited for this. It’s been a while since I checked in and I’m really loving the progress. Can’t wait to get it in my pocket.

 

[Fodderwing]

@skblades I have said very little through the entire process but please know how much you are appreciated. I've ordered one for myself and one for my father-in-law. Thank you sir.
