Hey guys, I'm looking for a new knife, something around 6-6 1/2 inch blade, all around knife, able to skin, and break down an animal, to baton wood, and build a fire. I really like the look of the fallkniven volcano, but it's priced a little steep. Is there anything you know of that's similar to it? I also like the look of the busse Bowie 6.
 
How bout a Buck 124 Frontiersman? $100 - $150. Amazon has them for about $115. 6 1/4" blade which is within your specs.

I like buck, but I'm not to big on 420 steel. I'm looking for something with better steel. The volcano has the cos steel, which is really good. Anyone have any experience with the volcano knife?

BK7? Sorry, admittedly a Becker/Ka-bar biased guy.
 
The knife you're after sounds great...I love those types of knives myself. If your budget potentially includes a Busse or a Volcano, I'd definitely suggest visiting the custom fixed exchange here...a one-off meeting your rough specs can be had for considerably less than the two options you mention, actually.

Otherwise, the Dark Timber Honey Badger would be right up your ally.
 
Never been into Beckers much, but I'm sure they're worth taking a look at. I'm really eyeing that busse Bowie 6. Looks like a cool design.
 
I think so too. Trying to work out a deal on a team 6 right now. But I've seen a few in the knife makers exchange that I really like too.
 
I also think you can be the frontiersman in 5160, or at least the Buck general 120 or special in 119 in 5160 steel.
 
Ended Up getting a busse team 6 Bowie. But I'm thinking I really like that fallkniven volcano too. Maybe I'll get one, and eventually have a custom made for me.
