What Buck are you carrying today?

Kind of a mega-post but I've spent the last two weekends camping and fishing. March surf fishing is probably my favorite as the big whiting come into the surf in large numbers. The intercoastal waterway also starts to hold mangrove snapper. I like to cook whole fish and my favorite knife for both scaling/gutting/processing fish is my buck D2 Buck 118. A buck bantam is my car knife and I forgot to bring anything else suitable so that ended up being one of the cast members for the trips as well.

Thank you sir. 118 is one of my favorites as well. Great all around fixed blade.

I think fresh caught whiting is hard to beat. It's not the best yield but I like the flavor more then a lot of the reef fish (Vermillion/Lane Snapper) I've been cooking up.

I love how they just pull and pull. Sweet prep and cook technique photos. Thank you for sharing. Hard to beat fresh fish, lemon and butter in foil over a live fire!

Today I have quite a few new ones to choose from as I got 6 new and used Bucks all yesterday. In the mail was a really nice 3 dot 110 I fished out of the bay, 3 that came from an antique mall excursion (422, 112, and 120) and 2 that came in the mail from Post Falls (110 slim select, 110 S35VN). I chose though to carry the last one on this list. I love my S30VN 110s and am looking forward to seeing how this one will perform. I bet I'll like it...
Edit: I forgot to add, that the manufactured date on the box was my 35th wedding anniversary. Wouldn't mean much to some but it's a pretty neat coincidence to me.

The mixed lot of antler handle pieces that I bought off eBay arrived yesterday and I completed the re-handle on my 119 last night so I'm carrying it today.
Here it is with a piece of elk which I dyed.
I've still gotta go back in and refine some details that I'm noticing outside in the bright sunlight, but it's functional enough to carry.
One of these days I'll successfully drill out the pommel pin on a 100 series Buck, it hasn't happened on the 3 I've done so far but one day I'll get it right.
