5th Annual: Help Us Build a Buck: 104 Compadre - Handle Material

[skblades]

Well burlap snatched it in the end! I'll put in a request to Buck for a mockup at least, possibly a sample. I can't wait to use this knife camping! I may start a new thread for updates as they come along.

This is going to be a heck of a nice knife. Thanks skblades for putting this together and the other participants that added a lot of photos for helping with decision making... and as eye candy

Can't wait for the mockup / sample!

When are you going to draw a winner for the give away?

Awesome, I look forward to seeing a mockup or maybe a first production piece! Thanks for taking the time to do this. I am very excited for this knife.

Are there going to anymore votes for the sheath, or is this the last of them?

Hello! I have finally received the go ahead from Buck to get moving on this project. They are working on rendering a photo and prices as I type this. As to the drawing, I like to wait until we at least have an ordered project before getting someone's hopes up. I'll keep you posted!

Here is a cartoonish render. I know from experience that the burlap is more "uniform" than this render shows, but this gets you a start on what it should look like.

looks good...so flat ground not a full flat ground or is the rendering off? thank you Sir.

I am hoping that the FG is not FFG and is like pictured as that would be preferred for me.

You nailed it. The Flat Grind is not full, only way I could get Buck to sign off on it.

gonna work well regardless. thanks for explaining, Sir.

Personally, this works out great for my tastes. I love a high saber/ flat grind for a woods knife. I understand the love for FFG as well.

If the burlap looks like the matte finish on the sprint pro I got today, I'm going to be even more stoked about this knife.
