The sharp knives today are actually ceramic.
I too like Buck Knives, I have several of them, but when push comes to shove, the knife I carry with me is a cheap old Sharp knife that I bought from Kmart 30 years ago.
It has some of the best steel that I have ever seen on a cheap knife and it holds an awesome edge.
If you were hunting Elk, you would want to carry several knifes and not just one. I would figure 3. 1 to gut, one to cut out the anus, one to skin and one to de bone. If you left everything to one knife, you run the risk of loosing your knife and not getting the job done. Or having it go dull and having a hard time getting it to do the work. Especially in low light or no light at all.
