September 2021 BOTM - 301 Stockman 420HC FFG Long Pull, Black Burlap Micarta

[FranklinG]

I was really hoping for a 301 or 303, so today feels a little like Christmas. Things I like about it: flat grind, long pull, lovely micarta, two blade variation of a favorite pattern. Things I don't like about it: ......

I have my first BOTM its way. I agree with revnewk that this would make a fantastic series.

Grabbed one but it's going to be near $200 CAD by the time it lands at my front door.

I like this one a lot! My only wish would be a different steel, but still a nice one.

I'm not really into traditionals.

But I really like that Buck is doing this knife.
I agree it's an area Buck needs to pursue more.
This one looks great.

A sweet two blade 301, way to go Buck. A home run in my book. Grabbed two.

Interestingly, I never got an email. I think I did the unsubscribe because I tired of Buck's numerous emails.

I'm going to pass, I have two of the 2018 Blade Forum 301s that are just a bit better appointed than this one, plus I rarely carry one. I'll count on this forum to get BOTM info, with Buck doing 500 of the BOTM knives my FOMO is low.

Yes, all of that without the spey I can gladly do without. I like it a lot. I do wish it had a shield.

I haven't bought a BOTM in a long time but, man this one was crying out to me.

I really appreciate that Buck has been taking some real world pictures with the knives now, instead of just having the white backdrop. It really gives you a better idea of how the knife will actually look. Great looking pictures and angles too.

 

[Vaporstang]

Ugh! I want one but just cannot justify the money at this point.

Well - I made it 4 1/2 hours before giving in. One on order! A little bigger than I like to carry, but with two blades instead of three, it might not be too bad. I am stoked for the covers!

When I ordered a few minutes ago, there were 168 left....

I haven't bought a BOM in a long time but this one made me open my wallet. Not a huge 301 fan, but this one spoke to me for some reason.
Maybe, should have gotten 2..........

Does anyone know if the long pull nail notch is a rare thing? I'm not going to lie, I don't really have any traditional Buck folders, so can't recall having seen it before.

The last time I recall seeing it is on the BladeForums designed, 2018 Buck 301 forum knife. Buck should have BladeForums design more knives for them. The BF designed SK 104 and BF 301 forum knife were both extremely popular.

Ouch my wallets hurting this month with all the knives I've ordered.

 

[Don W]

I gave in and ordered one. I love the forum knife. If this one is put together as well as it. I will love this knife.

Beautiful knife and thank you very much for sharing the info!
