Buck 124 'Frontiersman' Any thoughts?

one of my favorites and one of bucks best designs.

full tang, radiused at guard so quite strong and durable. micarta polished smooth scales. easy to rough up if ya prefer that. sheath is decent and easy to remove and replace knife without much thought or effort. big enough loop to fit on my gun belt and enough room to swing to sit without being uncomfortable.

handle is quite thick and boxy. something to consider if you like a thinner more formed grip. it's hollow ground, but thick blade so performs well on most tasks. not one i'd baton with though.
 
I agree with this, especially about the handle. It's a knife that instantly turns boys into men when they buy one :D but the handle is a bit crazy. I have awkwardly huge palms and it still doesn't feel great.

The handle is also a bit slippery too bad it didn't have checkering or grooves in it,i think its the only downside to the knife.
