Any updates on this project?
^^ this...just checking back in myself making sure I didn't miss any updates, but doesn't seem so in this thread or any others (new or existing) that I can see. First time following along one of these build scenarios, so uncertain the time frames but don't want to miss the chance to pick one up! Thanks all!Any updates on this project?
Hey all! All is well over here. I didn't realize it had been so long since I'd been on. Been a busy month for me, and I've been waiting and waiting on Buck to get me the final say that the 104 is ready to go. They have a new process in the factory that requires the knife to go through a long pilot test and sample creation whenever something "new" is requested. Between that, family and a few other projects, I lost track of you all.I just emailed him...I'll let you know what he say's if/when he responds...

I appreciate the concern and care. Hope you all are well too!
As for updates, I've been shown some samples on the handles. Here is a photo.
The top is bead blasted and oiled, the middle is stone washed and oiled, and the bottom is raw. From what I'm told, the bead blast provides the most grip when finished, so I that is the route we plan to take.View attachment 1139167

stonewashed catches my eye better, but no issue with any.....
looking forward to this knife.....
I think the steel and grind would be why.The 104 has been in production, i would have thought pilot testing was already done????
