I' ve got several Buck knives, and my favorite is my 110 Folding Hunter. I also have a 119 I believe....it' s a fixed blade. I like the lockback because I can slip it into my pocket and don' t have to deal with a sheath when I sit down or move about in my stand. Also, it seems alot of knive come with a leather sheath; I would rather have no sheath to hold odors than a leather or cordura sheath. Just my opinion, take it how ever you see fit.
