Prepare yourselves: not two weeks since the release of the April Buck of the Month, the May BotM has landed. It’s another special version of the Range Elite, albeit with a color scheme that is a subtle homage to a little-known science fiction franchise.
Yep, it isn’t common to see back-to-back Bucks of the Month like this; usually the company gives each release a little more elbow room, but May is a special month, and the 4th of May is a special day. “May the 4th” is dedicated to fans of Star Wars, and the knife world has always had a strong connection to the long-running franchise, with lots of special editions rolling out in galactic trim of one kind or another over the years, both from small custom makers and big companies like Buck here.
What is your favorite Star Wars themed knife? The Stormtrooper CRKT Provoke was a cool one, but I am still partial to the Bounty Hunter Manticore by Heretic.
May the Fourth be with You! Obviously my carry knife today was the @HereticKnives Bounty Hunter edition OTF Manticore. I’m honestly not a big fan of anything beyond the original trilogy, but fell in love with this knife the first time I saw it. pic.twitter.com/UXE9Zt3rxC
