HD daily carry USA made, folder???

Buck 110 and the 112 for that matter isn't meant to be carried in pocket. I never heard of anyone carrying a 110 in their pocket.

You have now, front or back pocket carry.

ditto - carried a 110 in my back pocket for close to 10 years.

I have to admit I'm very surprised. The weight of both knives, I just thought it would be alot easier to carry in belt sheath.

Make that 3. Back in the '70's I used to carry a Buck 110 in my front pocket.

Same here, but in the leather snap case

The thing that keeps not getting discussed and that I think is important here is blade grind.

IME, flat or convex is best for wood and hollow grind is best for game cleaning.

This said, I'd rather process meat with a flat ground blade than process wood with a hollow grind blade. That is, IME, a flat (or convex) blade is much more versatile and much more able to span the uses the OP is asking for.

I recommend the 53 pattern by Great Eastern Cutlery. Very stout and capable of all but the self defense rolls you describe. It comes in many blade and spring combos found here....http://greateasterncutlery.net/blog/patterns/patterns-31-56/53-equal-end-cigar-cuban/

I have owned the Stockman and T.K Cuban models. The Moose would be just as stout I am sure. I like the T.K. for its slimness and ease of carry for such a large knife. It is 4 1/8" long for a full size grip and the single spring gives the main blade some thick stock to start. The grind is impressive and thin behind the edge. The pen blade is very thin and very handy for a lot of tasks. I ground mine into a more sheepfoot style for my uses. I wouldn't hesitate to be stranded with that knife, highly recommended! :thumbup:





the 79 in this photo is also a very capable edc/woods knife

You don't like the new one's?

The new ones are a heck of a deal but I think the quality control was better on the old ones and they seem to hold an edge better. That is just my opinion though.
