>>526917As with many hands-on tools and instruments, the best way to really determine if something is right for you is to give it a try. Go down to a knife shop and handle a Buck, and some others, and see what you think. If you like the feel and if your inspection of its quality checks-out, buy it or order it online. If not, keep shobbin around. It's important that you feel comfortable, and one-with-the-knife. The same is true for things like musical instruments, cars, dogs, etc. You need to have a sort-of bond with things like a knoife.
