What's the word on the Buck/Mayo Northshore? ...

[cmeisenzahl]

Hey guys, just found the Buck forum. ;-)

Looking for an EDC knife under $60.

Doesn't seem too bad for the price. Anyone have anything good or bad to say about them?

Love to see that greeting Trax! I was afraid you were going to give it up. cmeisenzahl, I'm glad you asked about one of the Mayo knives.I've benn looking at them lately and I'm sure someone here will provide us with some good insight.

 

[Buckaholic]

I have had three Buck Mayo gizmos. One, a Hilo, a gave to a dude during one of those Budweiser induced "I love ya man!" moments. Pillock moment.
They are good knives.
For a folder under $60.00 I would get a Sirus. And a 298GY model if you get the opportunity. ASAP assisted deployment and ATS-34 steel. Or, a 889SBMF...but that is bulkier and 420HC steel. Both the Sirus and SBMF are made in the USA.

I think I've noticed on a couple of posts that you are a fan of the Sirus. I've looked at those as well. By the way, ever had 110 pillock moment?

The Cutback is a very similar design, and a great deal for $12.99

I got 4 of those Cutback's a little while back and had them engraved for some of my old frat brothers. Made a nice little gift on our annual camping trip. I tried to modify mine to make it a little nicer, adding PB washers and working on the pivot a bit. I ended up with a worse action than the stock ones my friends got, those teflon washers work pretty well...

Maybe mine will be better in 10 years, but I was impressed with how nice the stock ones were.

I also like mine alot. The action seems to get smoother and smoother as it gets used. Great deal for $13.

Me too and I agree!

The northshore is nice,it also has an aluminum handle and is very light, but I prefer the sirus. The northshore is a smaller knife along with the Mayo cutback. The mayo Hilo is a tad larger with a stainless? steel frame. also a little heavier. Good luck
