Buck "Survival" Knife?

[Rip Gut 916]

The only Buck fixed blade I currently own is the 119, so I'm rolling with this one.

 

[TAH]

my 303, if i can't do it with this one then it didn't need to get done

I had to update this list just so I could add the first 300 Series model as a survival knife.

2 years later the model still way out in front is the Frontiersman. Not difficult to see why. DM

I still find it interesting that the 110 is in second place. That says a lot about a folding knife.

 

[Makael]

I'm surprised the Ron Hood series aren't higher on the list. Since they were designed by a great outdoors man. Maybe the lines of the classic Bucks outweigh design. Although the 124 is good design all the way around.

 

[David Martin]

Tah, I think a 2 dot 110 can take you a long way. Especially if a few screws were added.
Mak, yes, those were designed for this market area and guys didn't go for them.? DM

I am missing The 692 Vanguard ans the 118 Personal.

I am missing The 692 Vanguard ans the 118 Personal.

That is because no one chose them.....yet.

 

[Haebbie]

That is because no one chose them.....yet.

Yessss, that's logic.

More precise: I'm wondering that nobody
proposes the vanguard or the personal ... till now.

[TAH]

Personally, I think the 118 blade is too slim and delicate for a survival knife, but like you, I'm surprised no one has chosen the Vanguard.

 

[MICHAEL5135]

The 188 M - 9.

 

[David Martin]

That is a Beast of a knife! I see bikers carrying them. It could handle malleting. DM

 

[BuckShack]

I will give the Vanguard a go. Enter the 192 Alaskan Guide.

Remove my entry for 060 Hoodlum. I never did buy one, so I guess I won't miss it.

 

[TAH]

Updated! Frontiersman, Folding Hunter, and Special still with a commanding lead.

A few cool photos of the 119 in action courtesy of the World Wide Web.

 

[BBuser]

I'll weigh in with the 119 with the black handle and aluminum for less weight. The 119 is a Jack of all trades.

The numbers really start thinning out after those 3. DM

 

[TAH]

Someone needs to break the tie!
