ferider turned me on to the Buck 104 a long time ago and I’ve been trying to track down an April ‘21 BOTM ever since. I finally got my hands on one. It’s a great knife. I’ve been hunting for one for so long it’ll have a special place in my collection.
How comfortable is the handle? I usually like something to Grab onto. I'm not familiar with "the original" so I always figured this might be a good substitute to try one out?

Yes and no. I was really hoping to find the SK Blades version but never could. This was the standard BOTM with ugly red burlap micarta (just my opinion of course). I died it dark brown but it still has a little hint of red. Much better for me now.^^^ as you know, I love this one. Congrats on finding one, in burlap no less.
It doesn’t have the amazing feel of a CPK handle, but I do like it. It’s very basic and rectangular, but it’s a comfortable shape and I think I could use it for a long time without hot spots or cramping up. I think it’s the simple, unrefined, basic nature of the knife that made me like it so much.How comfortable is the handle? I usually like something to Grab onto.
