WH4F Custom

jb4570 · Mar 20, 2008

Hi All,

I just got a package that contained my new WH4F Custom Bravo Alpha

. I love it and hope that Buck takes note of this. I'm not a big fan of plastic or rubber handles on knives. So this style Bravo caught my eye....and Jim gave it to me:thumbup:

. This knife with wood shoes is simply beautiful...it's no longer an ugly tack style knife!!!!

Thanks Brother Jimbo

I have to say I was very skeptical of this blade style

. But, now that I have it in hand and truly see it for what it is.....I love it!!!! This is a true craftsman's knife....anyone who sometimes uses a wood chisel will have one on their side. Now I have to decide....do I use it...or...put it in my display case

.

Just exactly what is it that wh4f did to the 850??? Are the scales from another model???

Is that the Besh blade???

Swapped blades between an Alpha and the new Bravo, 'Trax.

Oh. So if someone wanted one like that, they'd have to buy both knives...

Yeah trax, I bought both knives... I ordered the Bravo from Larry, noone around here carries knives like that. I ordered it thinking I would love the handle/blade combo! I didnt exactly fall in love with the blade, it is nice, but its not me I guess. I loved the handles though. So I just popped the blade out of my S30V/rosewood alpha hunter and swapped the blades.

I am glad that you like it JB!
I think I would use her!
I love my alpha now! It was money well spent (IMHO)

I originally was just going to swap the scales but Buck used pressed inserts in the Alpha handle, and the Bravo is just tapped to accomodate the screws...
