Been eyeing the Buck Mesa for a couple weeks now. Picked one up today and I am really liking the weight vs size of this fixed blade. I had read these were in the low $30's a little while back, I paid mid 40's and it is well worth that and was a literal STEAL in the low $30's.
It is extremely lightweight for the size, yet feels more robust than the weight leads on. It will make a really comfortable carry knife and the size is right in the range that makes it very capable in several roles. This will go in my truck and be a carry knife at my hunting property. Can't wait to put it to work. I need to pick up a Reaper to partner it with. I almost bought a Reaper a couple years ago, but opted at the time to pick up a CRKT IKOMA Fossil folder. The Reaper that was in stock where I was had the wood scales and I didn't like the look, color or feel of the wood. I'll be on the lookout for a good deal on a Reaper to pair with this one with black nylon scales.
