I'm thinking about getting a new full size knife. Basic camping/ zombie apocalypse use...
I have always like these two classic knives. The big buck 119 or the bigger full size kabar.
Since it will be a camp knife I am looking at the less expensive black & silver buck.
I'm reading some reviews the kabar has a painted blade vs the original blackened steel finish?? Also considering the black rubber handle over the stacked leather... Mistake?
What are your experiences, preferences and/or advice?
Btw- these couple knives I'm looking at cost about $55-$65....
