I'd go back to your previous option and go with the Becker. BK-7 is great though (imo) the BK-2 is a better choice and less expensive.

USMC Fighting Knife
My sheath was kinda sucky but a lot of treatments of various leather treatments have darkened it a bit and made it kind of cool - definitely works fine.
BK-2
Yawn.....smaller blade more expensive by $12 which is the exact price of the optional Black Kydex Sheath if you want it on the leather stacked USMC.
It comes at the same price as the BK-2 in the Ka-Bar Black Fighting/Utility Knife. (Oval shaped Kraton G thermoplastic elastomer handle) comfy handle kydex sheath, 7" copy of leather stacked handle USMC fighter.
I'd for for either the Traditional 7" USMC blade or the newer 7" Fighting/Utility.

I have a Buck 119 and its great I've used it for skinning, gutting and even batoning. I have noticed that the blade does get dings from time to time from hitting bones but nothing huge and no breakage or loose parts but a quick refining on the wet stone gets it back in shape. I will head you though Buck has some of the knives made in China so if you want to get a 119 made in the U.S make sure the package has an American flag on it, if it dont then it means its made in China. Good luck!
