BUCK KNIVES THREAD!

This is my next Buck...

891 GCK spear point in tan multi Micarta...





And one in "Sniper Grey"...

Wow.

What's up with the handle? Is there some sort of pronounced swell in the middle?

If that Buck had a 7” blade, I’d be all in!

Yep. "Palm Swell"...

and here is the Tanto for comparison...



Really nice closeup on the micarta scales in this GCK 893 (tanto) video...
