Buck vs. Gerber

[skeeter@ccia.com]

I bought a 'cutco' hunting knife a few years ago and gave it to one of my daughters....I did use it before and she has used it..never have I had to sharpen it yet and it melts through things to make it an easy job...cutco makes a great hunting knife....huntinbuddy, when I was in the service, I got 2 buck knives..one for me and one for my brother..was at the time called ' frontiersman'...buck sells one called that now but it is different from the ones we have..first of all we have a lanyard hole in the handle and the new ones don't...If I get around to it maybe I will post a picture of it and would like to know if it is the one you speak of that broke...my brother broke his but I found out he was using it to spilt wood...hit it with a hammer ..."brothers"......I got it welded / ground for him (buck not make anymore so couldn't replace it) and the first time I fixed it for him he broke about an inch off the tip when he dropped it into his bathtub while washing it in the sink....I use to carry mine hunting but is too big for that now..retired it.
