Just got this Buk95 from Charlie. The pic robs the orange of some color, it’s a nice hunter orange.

Excellent! I have a Buk95 also and really like the pattern. It is excellent in the hand and works like a champion on game.

Charlie makes a clean, no BS knife.

From a month or two ago.


I like orange.

I think you guys know how I feel about Charlie's knives. I met him in 2005 been a fan ever since . I don't think he has one model that isn't a good one .

The Refuge is a great looking blade, I’m surprised it doesn’t get more attention

Charlie makes a great knife. I have had 8. All are gone but my Lil' Bladie May, which he hasn't offered in 20 years or so, and is his best pattern. My wife has a matched pair of Bobwhite and B&T. Great pair. We'd have more....except...Gene's stuff is just simply better...

Why do you think that? I have owned and still own knives from Gene too. I wouldn’t put one over the other, they’re just different.

I like that one. I've got a Slitter/B&T pair in Orange that I really like.

I think they're same/same on quality of knife. If you like one's design better than the other's that's ok....but it's a preference not a "better" quality.

Excellent!

I think the Buk95 is one of May's better patterns. I had one for a while and liked it.

As to the Gene vs Charlie thing, I think they both make a great knife of very similar quality. It boils down to what patterns you like best.

For me, Charlie's knives feel blockier in the hand than Gene's but everybody is different

Hey, if that's your opinion - good on ya!

My measurements of the grind, behind the edge thickness, HRC on my Wilson tester, rope cutting, cardboard testing, and near 200 critters forms mine...

It's all good...

Handmade knives ,hand ground ,vary from knife to knife from any maker . The latest knives by Charlie I've had in ,the grinds were off the charts excellent . I think both these makers build excellent knives . I prefer Charlie's designs ( profiles) ,and I like the feel of his knives in your hand . I think his range of blades ,sizes ,profiles ,etc,he offers more

That's awesome, Vince!!!

Can you post the Behind the Edge thickness...Primary and Apex bevel, and HRC hardness???

Also - you prefer his profiles - can you post a few critters and show why?

Thanks, from a fan!!!

Loving this [bleep]!

Just landed in TEB and waiting for my plane to SUN...

I wish I could do a pocket dump of the freaking AWESOME knives I used the last month in the UK...

Will do when I get home...
