Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades buck skinner model

thoughts...comments.. I would use it mainly for skinning.

Thanks

Nice knife, but I'd prefer a Green River style, with a much thinner blade (for one, at least) over the heavier, shorter, and thicker bladed Buck for purely skinning duties.

Of course, YMMV.....

Love the Buck no. 103. I've had one for 10+ years. Skinned many a buck with it.

Buck 103 is always with me when I go hunting.

My Buck skinner lasted for half a moose. The blade chipped like it had been sharpened on concrete. Must have got a bad one, sent it down the road.

I agree on a thinner blade. Still looking for the perfect skinner.

I've found the perfert skinner - my brother and he won't even drink my beer. Kind of nice to sit back and watch someone else do the majority of the work. Now if he would only learn to cook.

My brother doesn't hunt so I need to barrow yours or find a new skinning knife!

f you are not trying to impress anyone get a Old Hickory 6 inch skinner. The are all over the internet.With s+h about 16 bucks.

I agree w/ 4pwr; Buck has to hard of steel thats why it holds an edge so well, but thats also why they chip. They are also tough to re-sharpen; I recomend (in that price range) Helle of Norway. But if you want the best GET A RANDALL MADE KNIFE.
