Is the SOG field pup a good hunting knife?

ok so maybe no go on the field pup. i guess one big factor is the $50 gift card i have to cabelas. man i wish they carried a bigger selection...
 
I was just thinking that I should get a buck 119. Or maybe a 102? or 103? hard to say.
For 50 bucks I think that's your best bet. Not very tactical tho.
 
i knw the BUCK 119 has a great reputation and may people love it but it seems like it wont fit my needs. im looking for more of a smaller fixed blade to compliment a larger heavy knife, like a Ka-Bar BK2 or BK7. I just want a good small-med sized fixed for the smaller work or when im not taking the biger knife out, but still able to hold its own if it all i end up with for whatever reason.
 
The 119 is a great knife, and not really all that big, with a six-inch blade. If you still think it's too big, Cabela's carries the Vanguard, which looks pretty good for that purpose. Are you set on a fixed blade? The Buck 110 has a stellar reputation and seems like it might fit the bill.
 
Get the pup, it is the one that appeals to you. The grip and choil make it a safe knife-no slipping and works fine for most tasks. It does have a slight recurve but not something that's going to prevent you from sharpening it. The steel is good enough to put a quick edge on it if you need to.

Call SOG and see if they have an old leather sheath lying around if you prefer that. Hey I like mine. It's a user and your not out a bunch if you leave it stuck in the ground after you have skinned something. :eek:

So basically what i am hearing is - get it if i like it, not the best, but will be fine - looks like i should keep shopping. thanks for the input guys.
 
A decent little knife, nothing spectacular but Cabelas has them on sale now for $17.88. Seems like great deal so I grabbed one.

The Cabelas in East Hartford CT had 30 of them today in a bin up near the registers. If you want to handle it first they do have one on display in the knife case upstairs.
 
Umm, you do know this thread is 8 years old? I mean, I like a good zombie story as much as the next guy, but it's gotta be a GOOD zombie story....
