Was playing around on the internet and saw a new offering from Buck Knives that interested me. The Buck Brahma knife. It is essentially a Buck 119, one of the more popular Bucks, but with a stacked leather handle, black powder coated stainless blade, and "tactical" sheath. Enough interest to go to Amazon and order one.
I had read reviews online that weren't complimentary of the sheath so I ordered a brown leather sheath for a 119 at the same time. Glad I did because I like it much better. The knife was $70, the sheath another $15, so $85 all together, plus shipping of course. There are better knives, but at the price it is hard to go wrong here I think. Only time, and use will tell
At 6" this is as big as I want in a knife. It is similar in appearance to the 7" Ka-Bar that is so famous, but just enough smaller that I like the size better.
Here are some descriptions from Buck, the 119
