Buck Mayo TNT vs Buck Mayo Waimea

[Sebastian Ornstein]

Hey guys, I've been searching around a bit for info on the buck mayo TNT and the Waimea and i was wondering if anyone has an opinion about which they think is a better knife. I know that the Waimea is a bit cheaper, but what are the advantages that the TNT has over it and is it worth the price difference?

I have a TNT and love it. It is pretty small, though. I haven't held a Waimea, but I hear it is really small.

The TNT is larger and has rounded off scales. The Waimea is pretty small, has a clip point bowie style blade, and has flat scales. The TNT is a great knife. The Waimea is a bit small for my taste.

Thanks for your responses, that helps quite a bit. Does anybody have comparison pics so that we could see the size difference?

Here is a comparison picture. The Waimea is much smaller, but actually a little more comfortable for long term use because the TNT has rounded handles with thinner edges.
