Overview

Built for hunters and outdoorsmen who appreciate a traditional pocket knife with a limited-run presentation, this lockback pairs a satin-finished drop point blade with a long pull nail notch for straightforward opening. The polished nickel silver bolster, granadillo wood inlays, and Buck medallion give it a refined look, while the included certificate of authentication underscores its exclusive Buck of the Month status. With only 500 made, it suits those who want a carry knife that feels special without losing the practical, work-ready character expected from a field pocket knife. The included leather clip slip adds an alternative carry option for users who prefer a more traditional pocket carry setup.

Pros

  • Limited Buck of the Month release with only 500 knives made
  • Includes a Certificate of Authentication for the unique limited build
  • CPM-154 stainless steel blade with satin finish and drop point profile
  • Long pull nail notch supports easier opening
  • Lockback mechanism adds reliable blade security during use

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Limited to 500 knives, so availability is inherently constrained and replacement matching is unlikely if you want a second piece later.
  • The traditional pocket-knife format does not include a pocket clip on the knife itself, so carry is more old-school unless you use the included leather clip slip.
  • The long pull nail notch supports easy opening, but it is still a manual-opening design rather than a one-hand opening system.
  • The polished nickel silver bolster and granadillo wood inlays give it a refined look, but that finish may be less suited to a purely utilitarian, hard-use aesthetic.
