I've owned several Buck 110s, not that impressed. I have a dull and won't sharpen Shrade Uncle Henry, too. This are old style folders. I bought a Gerber Gator Serrator about 15 years ago and it's the best folding hunter I've ever owned. It's very light, very well built and strong, keeps an edge well, sharpens to shaving the arm sharp even after 15 years of use. When doing a deer, I normally have to stop and sharpen it a few times before the butchering is totally done, but I can skin and quarter without problem non-stop, fillet backstraps/tender loins. It fits the hand rather well, is comfy, and the grip material is a tacky rubber that doesn't slip even when bloody. I've not worried about getting another belt carried hunting knife for a long time.
When I was a kid, I had a nice fixed blade Schrade that really kept a sharp edge. I lost that thing, dangit. I also had a cheap Fiskars hunting knife (looked a little like their fillet knives, that was amazingly decent and sharp that got stolen out of my truck. It was light to tote, too. It was after that Fiskars got ripped off that I got the Gerber. You don't have to spend a hundred bucks or more on a knife to get a good blade, much as some folks love their custom blades. I'm a utility guy. I don't really get into the hand crafted stuff.
My ol' man gave me a Case Kodiak Hunter in the 70s for a Christmas present. I rarely break that thing out, BIG knife. But, boy does it hold an edge! It ain't of the tough utility variety and it's very big and heavy, but it's a nice knife to show off, has a Kodiak bear acid etched on the blade made of shiny stainless with a stag handle and brass furniture. That's the one I break out when guys in camp are braggin' on their fancy knives, but I carry the Gerber. Last time I priced that Kodiak in a knife shop at the mall 20 years ago, it was about $140.
The Case is on this page. Apparently they still make it, now with a buffalo horn handle. I prefer my stag, matches the stag grips on my engraved 4 5/8" stainless Blackhawk in .45 Colt, too. If the hunting camp is full of knife/gun snobs, I'll strap that rig on.
