I was gonna think about it for a bit, but these are selling pretty quick.

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.

On the other hand, it is my birthday month - one on order! This is one I know I would regret not getting as soon as they were sold out. (I think whenever I post "soft pass", it actually means "delayed purchase".)

I'm going to pass on this one. Trying to corner a stacked leather 119. Congrats to those who snagged one. Sure is a nice looking knife. That clip point is just plain sick!

Thought about getting me one for my bride's birthday next week, but no matter how deserving I think I am, I should probably get her something.

I like it a lot. And I don't own any Magnacut or a 104. Even though the price seems fair for what it is, it's a lot to put out for one knife. If it's still available tomorrow, I'll probably cave. Congrats to everyone who gets one!

The second I saw it I knew I was going to buy it. The 104 was already a great knife, I have three of them. The clip point made it even better IMHO. I'm very excited about this one.

A Cruwear 104 would be my dream.

I love my regular 104, it's my favorite camp knife that I've ever had. like micarta better than G-10, and I like the fact that I can beat the hell out of it without worrying about damaging a $225 knife. 5160 is tougher than nails and easy to sharpen.

That's a lot of words to say that I like it, but I'll pass.

Well...... after thinking about it over night and explaining to my wife why I need 3 Compadres I have one on order. Can someone throw rope down that Buck rabbit hole so I can try to pull myself out?

It does not good. It's only like 4# test with a 2# leader.

It is a good looking knife! Not very festive Easterwise without any little etched Easter bunnies on the blade. A good looking knife

It's a nice one this month, price is ok but I don't know it just didn't speak to me.

Still looking forward to photos.

Last call if you want one! Down to 10 left.

I bought one. I passed over the web exclusives they had and regretted it later.

My birthday is in August. But it starts with the same letter as this month. Therefore, I am justified in ordering one. Whew!

It's a slab of fancy-named steel with two slabs of wood tacked on.

Pass.

Sold out!!!

So why are the rivets brass and why are they PVD coated? Is it only for corrosion resistance? They kind of stick out in a way that I am not sure is pleasant. Would some other color rivets have looked better? Could they have hidden the rivets? Would no rivets not be strong enough? I am hoping people will answer these riveting questions.
