I have owned a Buck 105 since the early 70's. It is is billed as a smaller version of the 119. Absolutely fine knife, and very light for its size. I also have a few smaller Moras, also very fien knives. They have cut everything required.

There must be a quarter gazillion knives out there that will cut capably, survival situation or not. The Bucks and Moras are excellent values and will see you through, provided you are not totally clueless. Of course, if you are clueless, spending three to four times as much for a presumably better knife is not likely to do you you any good.

What is in the head is more important than what is in the hand.
