April 2025 BOTM - 104 Compadre Camp Knife

[beeinak]

I think the price is pretty great for a good design in great steel.

It's nice. Almost as nice as my 3V version with Burlap scales

I have several 104s, have not used one at all. I like the 100 series and this is a fine blade/knife but at this price point and given it really doesn't fit in with the rest of the100 series. Ima gonna pass.

I totally agree with you. For comparison, the BK-76 is still at $275.

What is the correct price for a custom run knife in a modern CPM steel?

That's a good question.Everyone may have a different opinion.

I do know one fact.If my wife knew how much I've paid for my Randall Made collection,she may have something unkind to say.LOL

Since you made this statement,don't you feel it's incumbent to provide a picture of your burlap scaled Buck camp knife? LOL

I had to chuckle at this ^^^, Roland. That's the first knife that I went and grabbed when I saw the listing for this BOTM.

They really need to do a "Web Exclusive" run of those so that I can pick-up a duplicate.

it's kinda pricey, considering Buck was always a better price apples to apples to other makers......but i guess it is a better price than most makers would sell it at.

so im in for 1. I like this model, I like magnacut, and I like its kinda different with the clip point.

I'm liking when Bucks BOTM are slightly different than current models. this one check all the boxes for me. different steel than standard. different blade shape than standard. different features than standard.

plus this is a model knife I use a lot and like. I went in for one. thanks to st8yd for the heads up on it.

I was talking to myself, you know ..... Almost bought this one, it's gorgeous.

Beautiful knife for sure. I’d be in but I’m busy chasing some of the variant 110s and 112s I’ve missed, and have a couple more in my sights, so I gotta save the loot for them. Congratulations to those who get one of these!

we need threads merged....I'll flag a mod.....

 

[sportingspecial1]

Shweeeeet!

 

[Vaporstang]

This is a soft pass for me. I like the Compadre but have four already. Plus I've spent too much on knives and toys already this month. I do like the clip point on this one.

I'm in for 1

My 3V version got a lot of time in the kitchen processing hard squash this past winter. What a great knife!

I'm looking forward to seeing this new one in hand. I'm not too sure about the G10, but the profile is a winner.

 

[GPyro]

I like this.

Half sold already!

And the biggest box checked for me... no dang Cerakote

 

[Ironbut]

That's a nice one, and I don't think the price is out of line at all. I'll pass though. I don't need another fixed blade that rarely gets used.
