Cardimon,
The 425 MiniBuck is one of my favorite models. I use mine for field dressing (gutting) rabbits. It holds an edge, is lightweight and is easy to sharpen. The valox handle material is very strong. You are making a good choice. I would recommend you use it with a quick release of some sort in order to not have the keys interfere with using the knife. If you look around, you can come up with one of the older Buckbrite models in bubblegum colors. Also, there was a Buckcote model available and you may be able to find one of those.
Good luck!!
Larry
