Review: all i knew was that it looked so cool and functional - i remember looking and ogling over this knife at my local sporting goods store when i was 12 and 13 years old. i knew nothing about skinning or hunting. all i knew was that it looked so cool and functional. this store was at cogdell's sporting goods in waco, texas; one of those hang outs for the well to do types. they never really looked at me seriously when i went in there, and i remember i was always intimidated by all the guns and the taxidermy kodiak bear right next to the display. i never even held this knife out of the display case because i was just a kid and not a rich guy and maybe it was not cool. so now as a retired guy with at least a credit card i bought my son-in-law one of these. he was in the navy, he is a very strong cross fit person and gym owner and he wants to get back into hunting. so now some 50 years later, i found a way to buy / own something from my young life that i remember vividly. i know this is a no frills hunting knife, and very old school; but hell, i am old school and old or older too, so i got him (and me) (l sneaked one in for me and just told my wife that is just how much they cost) a piece of nostalgia for him. but i really think maybe this present is mostly for me. does that mean i am selfish in my old age? i do love this knife!!! he tells me he likes his too. no serrated edge , just the basics. cool knife.
Review: Great buy. Genuine Buck knife - This knife is a steal. I already had a Buck knife from Bucks custom shop and the quality was so extraordinary that when I saw these on desertcart thought they might be fake. But no. This is a genuine Buck knife. Sturdy as a rock and and sharp as a razor right out of the box. As a hunter and licensed fur bearer this knife is (in my opinion) the best skining knife on the market. It's shorter blade gives you better control than a 6 inch knife witch is vital when skinning an animal. The fat curved tip is perfect for the swiping motion needed to remove hides from flesh. I called Buck Knives customer support line and confirmed that all Buck Knives have a Lifetime Warranty even if you buy it from desertcart!

## Features

- High-Quality Sharp Blade: The extra wide 4" 420HC stainless steel skinner blade is put through a rigorous heat treat process and quality performance test to ensure excellent knife strength, edge retention, and corrosion resistance
- Optimized for Skinning Game: This hunting knife has a narrow tip and wide curved belly for smooth skinning sweeps that glide through thick layers. The downward-angled point helps prevent accidental punctures while processing game

- Convenient Carry: Includes an imported genuine leather sheath with a snap fastener and belt loop for secure, easy field carry. The knife measures 8-1/4" and the razor sharp blade is great for hunting, outdoor work, and more

## Questions & Answers

**Q: the buck 103 skinning knife is maid in America. thanks**
A: YES, great fit and finish! I have custom knives for 4 times the cost of this knife that will not match the fit and finish.

**Q: What is the widest width of the Buck 103? Thanks for your help!!!**
A: my 103 is approximately an 1" 1/8...hope that helps.

**Q: How well does this knife do in other stuff outside of skinning?**
A: I've never subscribed to the theory that every cutting task requires a special knife.  The Buck Skinner can likely be used for many cutting chores, but skinning and caping are it's strong points.  Not as hefty as an original I had from 40 years ago (gifted that one to a guide on a mule deer hunt in the 80's), but the design works very well.  I also prefer the 'old school' flap style sheath, but hey, things change!  You cannot beat the warranty and sharpening service.  I had a General and a Skinner which I returned for refinishing and sharpening, and they were stunning when I got them back.  Buck stands behind their products!

**Q: How does this do as food prep ?**
A: It should be fine but I never use mine for anything but skinning. For food prep I would go with knives designed for food prep and not hunting but if you want a overall good knife look at Buck 105
