Anyone ever us a Buck 103 Skinner? I really want one and have for some time and I was curious what anyone thinks of it.

looks like a fine shape. my bro in law has one its as hard as nails keeps its edge but very hard to get an edge on.only fault I can see is the handle is too small for my liking.

I was struggling a little trying to field dress a deer with another brand of knife when a buddy told me to try his Buck Zipper. Wow! I bought one right away.

after watching the graf bros video of dressing out a deer to carry out using just a mercator pocket knife thats what I carry with a spare pocket knife aswell.

I also carry a minimum of two knives when out hunting Elvis. A couple of good skinning knives and a good folder. Usually have my Leatherman not too far away either.

You never know when you might just need another one.

Cheers, Vince

I've never seen the appeal or need for a gut-hook knife. Seems to me like you would have a razor sharp edge staring you down and waitin' for you to slip...

The Buck 103 is a great skinning knife and really holds its edge well. For field dressing, the Swingblade can't be beat - I like it even better than the gut hook style knives. Razor sharp out of the box and also holds its edge.
