I figured it's faster for me to Just learn how to MAKE knives, then it is waiting around for the ones I Want.
(so far I am not wrong) hahah.

sorry for the delay . paradoxically I think that Andrew's knives are very good as fighters but for hunting or hiking. even if this big one is very good. I have never used it in the field. I have other ones much better

Really liking my new Buck 119 Special Stealth Run. I had a Buck 119 growing up I got when I was 14, remember paying $32 for it at Walmart. I had me a Lansky sharpener and I could get it razor sharp. But it would never hold an edge. After skinning one deer it was dull. Ended up selling it in my early twenties but I had notched around 50 or so notches in the leather sheath from the deer I had killed and skinned with it. Wish I still had it now just for sentimental reasons.
Really like the shape of this new 119 Special Stealth run and got it. Man is it sharp! Pretty sure it came from factory sharper than any other knife I have so far, (including Busse and CPK, Hinderer, etc). I think this blade could last me the rest of my days as a deer hunting knife, small camp knife. I know its not going to be as strong and I doubt I would baton with it. Dont think they have a full tang? But heck when I was growing up I used the 119, 420hc model and hunted and camped and never even knew what batonning was. I had a hatchet for that.
Point being are these other Busse, CPK etc models needed today? No but they are nice to have and I wont be selling them. The Buck 119 to me is still the king as far as a hunting, camping knife. Got this new one engraved with our last name to pass on to my son.
