thanks beardyman, wisdom is a sentence well said. i guess what i was trying to find out is would using the buck as a bushcraft knife ruin the blade. battoning ect. the knife was left to me by a man i only ever met once. he was dying of cancer and after a night out with his family, when back in the house every one just left him to sit in the kichen by him self which i thought was out of order so i went in and we put all sorts to rights lol. two bottles of fine whisky later and were exchanging story's and i wish i wasnt as drunk as i was coz he was trying to tell me every lesson he ever learned in his life (almost as if know one wanted to know and i was his last chance) so a month or so later i get given the knife and was told that he remembered me and wanted his wife to make sure i got it. so to say the blade is sacred to me is a lie its every thing to me. for years i just kept it in a draw, and one day thought that david wouldnt of wanted me to have this blade and not use it, and as i have no elk to skin lol i thought that a bushcraft knife would be the ticket. as long as i dont loose it as i was advised above. which i agree with to. wildman.
