----------------------------------------------------------

The version with the resin impregnated rosewood handle weighs 7.7 ounces, and the other versions weigh 6.6 ounces.

----------------------------------------------------------

Depending on which model you get, the sheath will be either plain nylon, camo pattern nylon, or burgundy leather.

----------------------------------------------------------

Looking at the design features; would you say that the Buck Folding Kalinga would be more suited for use as a skining and field knife than as an everyday working and utility knife?

----------------------------------------------------------

What kind of terrain do you see yourself hunting in?

----------------------------------------------------------

Do you hunt in an area of hills and plateaus, broken up with a lot canyons?

Maybe only rising to a couple of thousand feet of elevation?

Country like the hot, dry badlands of New Mexico, in the American South West?

----------------------------------------------------------

Do you have a favorite ridge where you'd start your first hunt with the Buck folding kalinga?

Do you finish your drive up slowly and quietly, and park well back from the edge of the ridge?

----------------------------------------------------------

You do a final check in your pack and canteen.

You lever the bolt of your 30-30 back a fraction of an inch and check the chamber,

Thumb the hammer forward or push the safety button (depending on your rifle), check the rounds in the magazine tube,

And check that the sights and/or scope haven't been obviously knocked out of place.

You take the Buck Folding Kalinga out of it's sheath just to be sure it's there, then put it back.

Now ready, feeling a little adrenaline pumping in behind your solar plexus, you slowly walk over to the ridge where you always take a look at what's going on in your favorite canyon before starting the hike down.

----------------------------------------------------------

Do you think that might sound like the start of a good day?

Strap a Buck Folding Kalinga on your belt the next time you head out to your favorite canyon,

And have a great day.
