I really like my Buck 102 and know of one other forum member who is a fan but don't hear much else about them. Great knives imho.

I think what we talk about is mostly based on either new stuff, stuff we discover (and most discoveries tend to be of new stuff) or mutual admiration club knives.

I think most traffic is generated that way, which is why customer makers are smart to do passarounds, and giveaways, and are always introducing new models, colors, or new features. Because new creates chatter, and chatter sells things.

But, I agree with you, there are knives that deserve a ton of respect, that don't get much of a mention.

I love my Spyderco Moran Drop Point, love it..... But, I don't hear much about it.

I am not surprised as I got my 102 from you.

I am not surprised as I got my 102 from you.

And I still have my "backup" 119 I got in the trade.

Ahh, the brand with their very own forum here?

 

[Glock&Surefire]

The Fehrman's don't get talked a lot about here. They seem to get a lot of attention Ron Hood's forum... I don't think that I've ever handled one, they are generally made from high tech steel aren't they?

I'm sure that I need an HI R-10! Has anybody done a review of one of these?

Yeah they are made of CPM 3V steel, pretty close to INFI, in my book. Great knives

 

[bindlestitch]

Rapid River also doesnt get much attention either. They make good knives at good prices. I have two now, with A2 steel that holds a realy good edge.

That reminds me of a Marble's. Nice looking knife.

I really love my Buck 119 and Buck 110.
The 110 seem to be popular here.
But the 119 isn't...
But it's a great knife and I like it a lot

People seem to talk about them in the same group as Busses... Got any pics?

boker also makes some nice stuff. alot of it is more modern and not really up my ally, but useful nonetheless.

kellam doesn't get a whole lot of play although from what I read their knives get a lot of respect.

Found Rapid Rivers web-site, check the this little axe in A2 for $150.. Interesting....

Buck 102 is a great little knife.
I haven't done anything really heavy with mine though, might have to try and baton with it!

For those who haven't played with one heres mine next to an Imperial, some Moras and my Enzo.

that clip looks awful fragile... Probably great for game Prep I'd bet... AMerican Classic For sure.
