Hen and Rooster fixed blades-outdoor hard users or just for show?

[Dave28210]

I have seen these around for a pretty good price, are they worth it, or am I paying for a nice sheath and a cheap knife? I know their folders are nice pocket knives, but no experience with hunters or skinners, etc. I would be looking for a hiking/hunting/survival knife. I already have a Buck 119 special that fills this role... Any reviews on this or suggestions for others? Thanks

I bought a Hen and Rooster Bowie knife for a 100.00 bucks about a year ago up in the Smokey Moutains and I love that knife. Its full tang and bone handles. I am sure it is well made with good steel but Its just so pretty that I cant bring myself to use it. I use a 12 inch Tram for the woods stuff. Ill keep it for a Wall hanger. I know thats stupid. Im know Frost bought them out some time ago but to me there just as good as any other brand out there. If you have a Buck 119, why worry about another knife? You cant beat the 119. I have one and its a good user for me.
