DOOOD! lol while I agree that a Buck 120 General is a fair knife- carried the same one 40 years (along with others, naturally) until it sprouted legs and walked off my property somehow- it isnt the be-all and end-all and it sure isnt a Crocodile Dundee knife! Or an elephant-killing sword. There was a time in my youth when I sorta had that idea, tho. Mine served well for what it was and I did replace it when it became obvious that it wasnt going to turn up any time soon.. I had the devil of a time putting the first edge on my old one, half the sharpening gear I own was obtained keeping that knife sharp. That blade was one of the 440 blades Buck went with for a time, tho I didn't know that until it became misplaced. I hope it turns on the mofo who has it now. You can have my wife; you can drink my whisky; you might even get away with kickin my dog; But NEVER EVER mess with my weapons!He makes some good points, albeit a wee bit melodramatically.
Make life simple for yourself - keep what he had to say in mind, go to the Buck Knives Website and pick what you think you'll need, from what they offer.
I've got a Woodsman and a Skinner (in fact, I got two Skinners, mine and my father's) and swear by them.
Amazingly well made knives with a good warranty to back them up.
They also make a Selkirk knife, but for "survival" purposes, considering what he had to say, I'd probably do either that Selkirk, or the Vanguard.
Of course, if you REALLY wanna play Crocodile Dundee, there's nothing like the 120 General.
You could probably kill an elephant with that sword!
Anymore, I carry mostly Cold Steel products for serious use and it is doubtful they will wear out in my lifetime.
