Camping this weekend, Buck 119 or Ka-Bar USMC

As a secondary knife I would take the Buck 119..If you were only taking one knife I would chose the Ka-Bar USMC....CD
 
i say the buck 119 based of personal use of my 3, better for skinning and carving, and the weight, but like Celler said if its one knife id snag the USMC
 
U already have the bk9 for a carbon blade so i would go with the 119. Not only will it work well with the bk9 but it also looks classier.
 
119, the KaBar is kind of in the middle there. The 119 provides a good contrast with the BK9.
 
Personally, along with a biggun' like the BK9 I would want something around 4" or so. Since the 119 is the smaller of your options, I'd say go with that.

The Marine in me says Ka-Bar or go home though ;)
 
Since you have the BK9 I would go with the 119. Better yet, get the pathfinder or the woodsman and use the smaller blades for the traps etc.
 
Ideally I'd take a mora or similar knife to go with a BK9 but since it seems you are trying to decide between knives you already own I would say take both. I have both and the Ka-Bar does a pretty good job making curls and fuzz sticks to get the fire going. I haven't played with the buck much. It was a gift years ago and I never used it, I much prefer the Ka-Bar USMC of the two.
