Buck Survival Knife

Which company makes good knife's? for a decent price.

As stated by the other answers, BUCK makes some really good knives for the hunter. Wal-mart has good prices on them and I got my sheath knife for about $30 or so.

I am not a fan of the newer style of survival knife with the "saw blade" but prefer the clean standard cutting edge.

Buckmaster survival knife from Buck.

i have a BUCK nighthawk tatical/military survival knife that is 4 7/8 in. long and need to know how long the max length a knife can be in florida that is not concealed.

I don't know that there is a max length
The laws concerning carrying knives address concealed knives and allow for 4 inch blades

I used to carry a Sharp Finger and have co workers that carry sheath knives around five inches long
I carry a caping knife with a small blade now

We have an excuse due to our jobs but I have never been stopped for doing it

I am a soldier in need of a new survival/combat knife and am looking at getting the Buck Strider ML or FB fixed blade. I cant decide between the two. The ML looks more functional but the tip looks weak because of the false blade on the tip. The FB should be stronger but the shape of the blade looks like it is more for looks than actually cutting, slicing or chopping. I cant seem to find any reviews on these knives but the reviews on Buck's other large fixed blade the "nighthawk" have been great all around. I am very confident with Buck Knives but dont want to dish out the cash and not be happy.
Does anyone have experience with these knives or own one? I am very curious about how the tip on the ML is shaped and how it holds up to abuse. I would also like to know how the cutting ability of the FB is with that weird blade shape. Thank you in advance for all your help.

the ML isn't bad, the tip is a little suspect, but it depends on
how abusive you're going to be. I collect knives and have found two new starting firms that you might want to look at,
also...JB Knives and BWS knives saw them at a show &
both , especially BWS, have trail knives.....functional, nasty
little buggers!

Don’t let the name calling get to you. Every single one of them was a kid at one time, that cried their eyes out over something.

I understand how important a knife is for hunting, camping and wilderness survival. I am in my mid 50’s and have some very expensive knives but find myself using some cheap ones more often than the high dollar ones. In fact my favorite butchering knife is a cheap carbon steel Old Hickory knife from Ontario Knife Company.

Many of my friends own several knives from that company here in Alaska. I mean Alaskan trappers, hunters and big game guides. That company also makes knives for the US Military.

The knife you selected will do for starting out. But I would consider a better quality steel so it will hold an edge. Looks are not important, what is important is good steel and a good handle.
Beware of those cheap survival knives many of them will not hold an edge and break at the worse time.

Here are some more I found for you to consider;

it will be used for hunting, fishing, camping, gutting skinning, and if ever needed (which i hope not) survival
orr the first knife without the gut hook but what one do you think would be better?

119 special
