The buck alpha crosslock is the best. This is a folding knife... saw, blade, guthook, light weight, fits in your palm, well engineered. Saw is great for trimming shooting lanes or sawing the pelvic bone. Honestly, unless you lean toward the macho image in your choice of knives, this knife is the absolute best practical, useful knife available. I read a thread on " what's your favorite knife" and some smart fellow posted this knife. I checked the websites on them all and concluded this was the best. Since then I've used it to dress and butcher my deer, and have to say it IS the best. I thank the guy that posted it, and want to return the favor. Be sure to get the newer model ( the blades lock).
