If you ever consider collecting knives just check how easy it can be at http://www.collecty.net
About $35 virtually anywhere. I have several, Mrs. Matson one, and each kid at least two.
Good steel, keeps an edge, and fantastic geometry for anything from cleaning game to (i suppose) sticking in a fellow human. So ubiquitous here in the deep south that any dot gov minion would not even think twice to see that pouch on your belt that says ‘Buck’.
I have cleaned countless whitetail with this one, gutted many a fish, and carved off shavings for a fire while out on the trail. And, while there are better, more tacticool EDC ones out there, you could do much, much worse.
You should stop reading this post now, and go get a couple. One to keep on your person and one to put away somewhere safe.
It’s a tool, and a damn good one.
