Speculation Over: Feb. 2026 BOTM is a 104 in Cru-Wear

[GPyro]

They had it listed and now its gone. This is typical when they stage something first. It just means it will be back soon.

Figured as much.
I thought maybe they were only releasing it to folks that signed up for alerts.
I opted out of those as they became bothersome in their frequency.

For goodness sakes Buck, please hire a qualified individual to fix your web site. Since the web site was "updated" three years ago, it has not functioned well at all. This is just another glitch to add to the long list of things that don't work on the web site.

I first came across it on the BOTM page, where it is still listed. Initially, clicking on it directed you to the product page where I obtained the information. However, it now returns a “The product you are looking for can't be found” message.

Since it’s not red Cerakote, I assume this isn’t a delayed Valentine’s Day release.

Buck's insistent use of ceracote sure does save me a lot of money. I'm sure it's a great knife, tho. Congrats to all who get one!

Pic is still there, but clicking it leads to an error message. Nice to see some more 104 love though! I am really sad I missed the April 2025 BOTM clip point 104, maybe i'll find one on the secondary market one of these days.

Edit: And now it's on the front page of the site, but still no link to purchase that works.

 

[Tecate]

It's back

 

[Chase_ck]

Yup, it’s working and capable of ordering. Got mine on the way!

The 2021 botm 104 3v knife was $130.
The 2025 BOTM 104 magnacut clip point was $225.

Edited to correct.

It's a nice knife but I am going to pass on it. I agree with many of you on the Cerakote - not a fan. It isn't because of the Cerakote only that I am passing. I just want to save money and only buy knives that fit more into my collection (even though I think I have a few 104s).

 

[Generalist]

Excellent material choices. I'm in on this one. The cerakote is generally a turn off, but it makes functional sense for a non true stainless blade like CruWear.

104
Micarta
Cruwear

So much going for it... At $200, I'm starting to nitpick, and the cerakote bugs me a decent amount. Cruwear is pretty darn corrosion resistant for a tool steel.

 

[texpat]

It's pretty for sure! But i'm gonna hold out and hope for another clip-point 104 without the FFG. I've just got so many knives now that i'm ready to be picky about things.

Sheath looks nice!

 

[Tecate]

I think this is the first 104 offered with a kydex sheath.

 

[58 Special]

Appears to be 307 remaining so going fast, so far.

 

[texpat]

Lol, wife likes the kydex sheath too, she's trying to get me to order one so she can snag the sheath for her 104.

I'd call Buck and ask about getting just the sheath...all they can do is say no.

 

[jbmonkey]

lot to like on this one.....looks like a winner........but im focused on other things right now. congrats to y'all who get one. Hard not to like a cruwear user......I think you'll like it if ya haven't tried cruwear yet.......

 

[Vaporstang]

Wow, only 250 left. I want to think about this one for a while, but I might not have much time. I really like it. The cerakote doesn't bother me. Much to like, but I have several 104s already.

 

[Creaky Bones]

Love the 104 and especially the flat grind. Hate cerakote. I’ll stick with my 3V 104. Sad too, Cruwear is awesome. I’m sure it will be a great knife for those who don’t mind cerakote.
