[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 2570559, member: 17889"] I have numerous knives, many way more expensive than I care to reflect on....they just looked/felt good in the store/show. Attracted to them as guns....never met one I shouldn't have. Personally can't grasp the fetish with huge, expensive knives for real hunting/field work. Rambo, I ain't tryin' to be....just take care of business at hand.....it's a tool. For real post-kill work, I only use the fixed Buck 602 (as I recall, maybe obsolete now) same as the 102 but with rubberized handle. 4" blade, fits my hand comfortably.....critical attribute.....rubber provides great slip-proof grip, handles easily, takes edge/stays sharp/touches up easily, easy carry on belt/pack...insignificant cost if lost....haven't yet....great warranty......haven't needed........not flashy/theft attraction. Have and like the blade of the 103 Skinner, but always return to the 602. Love/have/use the famous folding Buck 110 Hunter, but folders get full of tallow, guts and are a bitch to clean. Standard Buck black handles (Micarta. Phenolic??) are slick as the proverbial snot when wet with blood....can't hang onto them, makes getting cut probable. Mentioned that to Buck family members at shows. They looked at me like I was a Heretic. Surely they have used their product in the field in blood at some time in the last 110+ years. Never have need for anything larger in North America. It's a knife for cutting/severing, not hacking, chopping firewood. Carry a small camp hatchet, of several styles, or axe for any larger hacking needs. Oh, yeah, do carry in pack a small non-descript folding saw for bone work. [/QUOTE]
