what do you mean
for what I used them for the 1095 the blade grind and the renforced tip of the ka bar plus the kraton grip is a lot better thanthe buck in the rain
if you don't like the powder coat you can polish or acid etch the blade just mine opinion I own and have used both and I sharpen the buck more often than the ka bar I like the kydex sheath of the ka bar the buck has a kydex insert in the leather sheath I just perfair the ka bar overall
the buck is a really good knife just not my favorite user but amazing hunting and kitchen knife
