It’s a horse race it’s neck and neck !!
Agreed! I'm pretty stoked about all the options.I voted for the Compadre. The other two look good though. I'd be happy with any of them.
Buck Compadre with a saber-flat grind in 5160!!!
Buck started with saber-flat grinds and IMO a saber-flat grind makes a better camp knife as it works wood and splits kindling better.
As the red powder coat has been mentioned a couple of times, and since I voted for the 104, I just wanted to make sure that all are aware that Buck now has their own Cerakote facility. The new 104 for 2019 has a black blade and is described by Buck as:hmmm....i would be interested in the 104 with some custom mods (and not the red coating! ).
the black is better, but i don’t like coated blades in general. but i didn’t know this, so thanks for the info. i like the 5160 too.As the red powder coat has been mentioned a couple of times, and since I voted for the 104, I just wanted to make sure that all are aware that Buck now has their own Cerakote facility.
