Kabar and Buck

[marcinek]

For woodcrafting as long as you only use them as knives and don't baton with them....

You can baton just fine with either.

(In fact you can with any knife and the proper technique.)

If an all around camp knife, I can see where you like the longer versions, however if just for cleaning game and small chores, I recommend the Buck 102, with a 4 inch blade similar to the 119, the handle can be a bit short though,or try the Kabar shortie in kraton handle, and you can get the plastic sheath too.

They also make the 117 mini special, but I don't think it's super common.

Both are great knives. You mentioned bushcrafting with the Buck which I personally wouldn't mess up such a beautiful knife, so I offer another vote for the Ontario version. Not as pretty but spectacularly utilitarian, 1095 carbon steel, and what I think is a more comfortable handle. Check it out! 5.5" blade or 7" blade both under $40 at BladeHQ who is a supporting dealer here!

I really like the looks of this one thanks.

I love the 102. Perfect for fish and small game.

I recently bought a new 102, 103 and a 119 for under $100USD total. For all 3 and with leather sheaths. They look nice, but they are so cheap that I’d rather beat the hell out of them then my more expensive knives.
