Buck Knives

How do people rate these as a general field knife and obviously for dressing game?

 

Looking at the Large Bucklite with Gut Hook...

I was looking at the Opinal No. 10 and found it for £15 but read numerous reviews stating that it rusted easily and the locking mechanisms were prone to seizing up?

 

I also wanted a fixed blade as opposed to locking. What do you use Seany?

 

Cheers

I use a number seven steel blade but I drill a hole through and made a lanyard out of draw chord. my old carbon steel one did discolour though.

sounds like a mora frost knife to me. cannot go wrong at thrice the price. Bit on the big side for bunnies.

 

Dont bother with a gut hook model, as usually on a buck knife they are at a poor angle to the blade to be effective, just learn to use the blade properly
