Blade guys of the fire...
What's your preference between 1095 and 420HC and why?
Looking at ESEE Izula II and the Buck 113 Skinner.
Not really an either/or type purchase, just both caught my eye. Really like the Izula II.
Also, I usually steer clear of blades that are coated. I just figured they would gum up a Lansky or other sharpening systems.
But they are fairly common and all Izula IIs are coated. (I'm assuming b/c it's 1095.) Would this be a deal breaker for you?
Would one of these be far better suited as a pure skinning knife over the other?
Thanks
