Regarding the request for bushcraft/survival knives...
I would love to see Buck consolidate their bushcraft/survival knives along a thin convexed saber-flat grind like on this old Schrade H-15.

IMO, Ron Hood was heading somewhat in the right direction with his use of full flat grinds for his knives. I don't care for fat saber-flat (aka scandi) grinds for general bushcraft and camping use. They are great for wood working but are a bit too limited as they don't deal with food prep as well. Neither do I like full flat grind as they have don't have good splitting power.
The convexed high saber-flat grind of the old H-15 (and similar old Schrades) was just ideal. In truth, I don't think this grind is very far off from the original Buck fixed blades, so in a sense, this may harken back to Buck's roots.
IMO, the clip points and hollow grinds of the 100 series and the use of hollow grinds in general are fine for hunting or even tacticool knives, but less so for general woods use. Reviving this convexed high saber-flat grind would separate Buck from the thick convex/scandi crowd (Mora, Bark River, Helle, many others) and from teh full flat crowd (RAT, ESEE, many others).
IMO, any Buck bushcraft line should retain the full length tang of the original 100 series and the black phenolic handles with optional wood (more $) and rubber versions (less $). IMO, full exposed tang isn't needed and gets colder in cold weather.
