What buck knife
 

I am looking for a good everyday knife from buck. I was looking at the rush and tempest. Does anyone own one or have an opinion on either?

I hae always had good luck with my rush, it stays real sharp!!!

for a good deal for a cheap price get a gerber with a have serated blade. Great deals on hunting knives on ebay.

My personal favoite is the Cub from Knives of Alaska check it out in Cabelas Mag

Good hunting

I was awarded my first BUCK knife by my father only after I shot and field dressed....my first buck. It is the woodsman #(102) fixed blade. That was 20 years ago, and I still can remember the look on the old man's face. He was so proud of me. I have looked at new knives for a couple of years, always thinking something is better. But I'm sure a terrible feeling of guilt would overcome me for having done so. I still carry that knife to this day, and look forward to "giving" my son a similar prize. A little care, and the blade is as sharp as the day I got it.

Don't buy before checking out the Buck crosslock 183gy ( the NEWER model) under $80. Guts, skins ( like unzipping the skin) and saws,yet this folding knife is compact and very well engineered. Rides on your belt; every bit of it is functinal. I read all the threads on knives before buying. This one is it.

I have an older (20 yrs) 110 folding buck it works great. I was thinking of getting a new "Alpha" buck knife, until I actually picked one up. What a piece of crap. The workmanship is shoddy I think they must be making them off shore? Puma is the way to go IMHO.

many if not all gerber knives are made overseas, i bought one for my brother and it will be the last, had no idea they were made in china. i say support a quality American manufacturer like Buck.

You can't beat a Buck knife. I haven't had a Buck I did not like, although the tip broke on my 110. I sent the knife in and they repaired it with no questions asked. they're warranty is as good as Zippo's.

i dont use buck knives because of the prices. i have a ka-bar and the thing is sweet. probably 5 inches in total length. small and compact with a zipper. its a nice knife and i use it for everything

Love buck knives. The alpha series is the best yet. Fits the hand well and holds a good edge.

RE: What buck knife
 

I have had a buck knife for almost 15yrs I believe. I haven't been able to find another one like it. It is a woodsman series but has the rubberized handle. Absolutely love this knife! If I were going to buy a new one though I would go with the cub series vs. a Buck. I don't particularly care for the new Bucks.

RE: What buck knife
 

I have the Alpha Hunter Folding with rubberized handles, great knife, good edge holder and a snap to touch up.

I don't like metal body knives for hunting purposes, I prefer a good handle that is nonslip.

I have a Fixed Bladed Buck Model 103 Skinner.It's been a great knife over the last 20-25 years. It holds an edge like no other knife I've ever used.I have a couple of 110's and other fixed bladed Buck's.I prefer Case knives. Cold Steel makes some nice knives.I used to like Gerber until they went to China for production.

For the everyday knife, I use a Kershaw Ken Onion chive assisted opening. Great little knife, the assisted opening is a big plus also.

I use the Buck Zipper for the woods.

i haven't been impressed with any buck knife i have ever had. i think the gerbers hold a better edge and sharpen better than the bucks. for the last 5 years or so the only knife i have used is my leatherman tool, butchered and skinned dozens of deer and the blade is still sharp as the day i bought it ...and the saw comes in real handy also.
