Ferhman, Tops and now Buck= Hoodlum

[rogerschrisj]

Hey guys, I've been searching around and I can't find any comparisons on the Hoodlum from these three producers. I can't even find a picture of the one that I have just found out that Ferhman was selling. I read that the one Buck is producing had some differences from the one that Tops was Selling. I know that it is basically the same knife, but I still can't help wonder what exactly has changed in the design. Does anyone know what the differences are between the three? Also, if anyone has some comparison pictures I would greatly appreciate it if you posted them.

Thanks, Chris

Fehrman made the Hood Hunter in CPM 3V; it was a nice knife, but expensive compared to the Tops Hoodlum which had a different design and was made in 5160. As I understand, the Buck version will be very similar to the Tops Hoodlum. Fehrman CPM 3V is great blade steel, but 5160 is much more cost effective IMO.

I have both the Tops Hoodlum and the Fehrman Hood Hunter, prefer the Hoodlum as a user. I bought my Hood Hunter from the final run, knowing it was a collector and not a user.
