I remember Walmart carrying them for around $50!

I just found one for 50 $ didn't need it but dam that was a good deal.

@@boopieboi439 not bad. Shortly after my initial post I bought a 120 off Amazon. Very happy with it. Set me back $98 plus shipping. It's a beast of a knife.

Happy birthday!

BUCK KNIFE COLLECTION

I tend to agree.

Pro series is amazing..

I think the 105 will flex into self defense pretty well too

I've been looking.

@@backacresalaska2272 I obtained my 117 from Knife Center, the 118 is extremely hard to find. I wish you luck in your search. If you like the 102 or 105, you will love the 117.

The 124 has earned a place in my kit.

Oh, that's a 102. Now I got another one I want lol

Thanks 👍

Seems everybody loves the 102!

Decades.

Bob Johnson pointed out I'm missing the 117 and that is my next purchase when I find one.

@@backacresalaska2272 They are discontinued I think, but they're releasing a new batch of them this spring

👍👍

It's in my top 3 just for that reason.

It's just a simple ammo pouch with a few items in it but here it is kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nc6dqMVeya62n2g.html

@@backacresalaska2272 Awesome... thanks!

Tools and equipment that pay for themselves for my needs alone and will always have value. There is never any shortage of work only employment and have the security of always being able to work or produce things for sale if I want to set my own hours.

It's an indulgence and for most my life only had the 119 and the 102. Having them all to compare I think the most practical for my needs would just be the 105 Pathfinder. You are right of coarse but I have accumulated all I need over my life and with inflation running rampant feel the need to spend money while it's still worth something. There is something about "collecting" I don't fully understand but do enjoy at this moderate level.

No but have placed 124, 119, 105 and 102 where best suited.

Police seem to have the discretion to overlook things as do prosecutors but prosecutors are more likely to use anything they can against you. I tend to be as low profile as possible not drawing attention to myself but also agree "it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by six". It's a situational consideration when you have both to choose from.

As hard as that is to believe I don't doubt it for a minute.

^^^ I've never a huge fish as you said. ~~ Some bugger walked off with my larger fillet knife that was great. (9" ?)

@@brianbartulis9709 I've seen too much waste by people trying that method. When dip netting my limit is 45 Red Salmon and my way is much faster but more important online is it's simple enough for a person who may have never done it before accomplish the task. Fish are slippery so I also use a fillet glove that not only grips the fish but also protects left hand from being cut. There are many ways to accomplish most things and I learned most stuff on my own long before there was an internet so I do a lot of things differently.

@@backacresalaska2272 Thanks for the hand wave BAA. I watched my uncle early late eighties before the internet. Before that was scaling/gutting fish. eesh. ~ My wasteful would be not getting some of the back flesh while cutting through bones. Some great some I missed a bit. Flipped over when the feel losing the skin/no flesh was heaven to me. lol, nailing a catfish to a tree and pulling the skin with pliers sooked. And they turned out to be the easiest after a few of any fish... which were rarely longer than a foot. Unless bass/pikes. Blah blah... I try and not target bass no moe, but feeding is near same as pikes. ~ Northern, LM bass and a redfin carp fried all the same, the bass was no better than the carp. ha, my Polish gal didn't want to give up the carp caught. Have a great 2023.

One thing that helps me grip the fish is a filet glove that also gives protection from accidently cutting myself. It's a great tool to have.

@@backacresalaska2272 I didn't think about that. I don't use knives to fillet much anymore since I got an electric knife, but from time to time I do use my pocket knife to prepare them.

Bring that big knife of yours and we'll do a side by side comparison.

Wish one?? LOL @@backacresalaska2272

The tip of the 119 design is to pierce a hide but would work for your application as well. I've heard it said a chainsaw is the deadliest tool known to man. You may want to look into that.

Alaska

I didn't know you had to

Aliens

I like that 120 Its been a good hog hunting blade for 30 years now.

Wow, that knife is beautiful. Yeah I wouldn't buy any of these either if I had that 😂

@@backacresalaska2272 careful with Amazon. Many knockoffs sold as real on there and there are chinese copies of the 119. Harbor freight sells a version.

Welcome!
