Overview
Built as a limited collaboration with Dr. Larrin Thomas, this knife takes the familiar 501 Squire platform in a more refined direction with a clip point blade, full flat grind, and long pull nail notch. It is suited to hunters and outdoorsmen who want a compact carry knife with a traditional feel and a modern MagnaCut blade specification. The brushed brass barehead bolster and Cocobolo onlays give it a classic presentation, while the included brown leather clip slip supports everyday carry in the field or around camp. With only 1,000 made and a Certificate of Authenticity included, it is positioned as a collectible working knife rather than a mass-market folder.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a limited build, so availability is inherently constrained and replacement matching may be difficult if you want a second knife later.
- The clip point blade and full flat grind differ from the traditional Buck 501 Squire profile, so buyers looking for the original blade shape should note the design change.
- The brown leather clip slip is included, but it is a separate carry piece rather than an integrated sheath-style setup.
- Cocobolo onlays and brushed brass give the knife a more traditional presentation, which may be less suited to users who prefer a purely utilitarian look.
