I grew up going to school and playing ball with Josh Buck. Great family and incredible knives. Love my bucks especially the 110. I always make sure the knife I am buying is made in USA. That’s probably the difference between the two knives above bench made is made here and some Bucks are made overseas.
Picked it up from your recommendation for last years elk season..showed it off at elk camp and sliced my thumb pretty good lol so I know they're sharp just need to drop a large mammal to put it to the test..
@Hunter527 As far as benchmade vs buck I believe what sets those apart is the warranty. I want a benchmade but dammit if I can't convince myself to pay that much for a knife..maybe one day..
I don't find $130 a lot to pay for a quality knife, ask the wife. Always get the best you can afford.

I don't know, been an old timer, I hate to throw a way any thing. disposable blades is a thing now a days. I never had an issue with a dull knifes.
and I did not pay a lot. which is relative to the user. proper sharpening is essential. Damascus knife are very cool. and are nice to look at, but the quality of a knife must be durable,
retain a sharp edge. it it has a more to do with the steel it is made from. a very sharp razor blade we all know is very sharp, but it will dull easy.
it is what ever fits your goat. and gets the job done. I been happy with buck. and it has it's draw backs, but I was able to pass it on to my son.
and I forgotten how many deer it has field dressed. I was taught to butcher game. and requires it's own set of tools, and which I forgotten most it. T-bone, rib eye, and on.

I’m not too interested in the replaceable blades, a guide told me he had one break inside the cavity of an animal. That’s not something I want to be dealing with if I’m out processing an animal miles from the truck; but I know a lot of guys like them. I got a drop point Buck 110 for Christmas, and now I’m looking for a fixed blade to go with it.

My only complaint is the brass gets dirty so easily, I would have gotten the nickel one if I knew that.

Or some of my [former] hiking buddies---saw toothbrush in half to save weight. Me---I take a dump before hiking and save 5 pounds in weight.
This is style of buck I like
I gave a similar one to my son

I have this one, I modified the handle so it does not slip, when dressing a deer out.
for a folding knife I carry a swiss style/made knife, the blades are super sharp, plus all the little gadgets, I like using the scissors, tooth pick, tweezers, and can and bottle opener.
When it comes to knives its more about the specific steel used / how it is heat treated more than the manufacturer. Some get dull quickly while others will stay sharp over 2 elk.
I was going to buy a benchmade but decided to go custom using elmax and absolutely love it. Havalon's are good, but i find myself breaking blades often and they dull quickly on an elk.

how many of you guys use a hone for sharpening? I use one and it works great.

I saw a Argali knife made of S35VN and a Buck made of S35VN. The Argali is double the price of the Buck. Why does Argali charge more? Both are made in US.
