I am going to get one of these but cant decide which one. The buck looks like it will sharpen up real quick and be razor sharp. I don't know much about kershaw fixed blades. I currently have a kershaw vapor and it is ok, was shaving sharp from the factory but after butchering several deer it has dulled and has taken a little while to get back to halfway sharp. Whichever knife I get will mostly be used for hunting - field dressing and butchering of deer and wild hogs. Thanks.
 
A buck would make a nice knife anytime, and A little eaiser to sharpen. Mabye get the buck first then the echo :D
 
If it's any help, I've had a Buck woodsman 102 since 1967. Its been a great little knife, has done anything you could reasonably ask of a 4 inch knife, not to mention some things unreasonable. It's a bit thin now, and it still makes for a good fixed blade scalple for pan fish and camp work. :thumbup:
 
Ok looks like most prefer the Buck knifes. Are there any other brands that fit into the same grouping as the kershaw echo and buck pathfinder. Basically a really sharp knife for around the same price range?

thanks.
 
bearwolf, I picked up a Kershaw Echo back in the fall of 2001. I've really liked it. The handle feels great and the blade slices threw veggies and meat really well. My father carried a Buck 105 Pathfinder to South America back in the 60's. I have said knife now and use it once in a while. Would use it more if it wasn't a family herlume. I like them both and use them both. Though I wish the Echo had a longer blade at times.

I recomend you try both and see how you like the feel of them. Or just buy both and have fun! :D

I carry the Kershaw Echo with me on most hiking trips (well until recently now its a Nimravus).
