Hi Dadpool!.
The Bullnose is a great everyday knife. The blade gets most of the action so the liners get just a little "contamination". Just have to remember to rinse occasionally. When done get a q-tip in there after washing. Mine has minimal patina. I like coconut oil. large jar for cheap. and don't worry of getting rancid if its a user.
Do you currently have any knife with 1095? It might be good to taste that "food reaction" flavor. Some hate it, some tolerate it, some don't notice it at all and some don't care ( me)
72,73,74 ...I like the 72 clip among them ( I have a Mustang)
The 35 HJ ( 2016 forum knife) would a nice one, although a spear , it is longer than a 77, but much harder to find and will be at an upcharge.
Would you consider a #98 ?" There are a few around still, whittler or cattle knife. it is large at oal around 4 3/4, not easy to carry around, but if its at camp or the kitchen, no problem. I have the camp knife...long gone or over expensive. Its GEC and rare! I don't use it.
I did though get a Remington UMC, R4243. which is Stainless. They don't go for too much right now. But you can check out that size! It fits in a Buck 110 case well.
Finally, how about a fixed blade? GEC recently and I think may still be in the process of releasing a few fixed blades in 1095. I keep two H10's one SS and one 1095, a couple H50's one SS other 1095 , and a 1095 H73 in my steak knife set. The stainless ones double as petty knives. Teh H10's has a great little sheath and used often on hikes.

I do use my farm&afield 99 for food, at least cutting up hotdogs and such for my 2 year old. He doesn't seem to notice anything wrong with the flavor, but he's a , hmm, stout eater? He's not fat, more built like a climbing linebacker. Hey you need to post up in the books and blades thread-you've got some of the best!
