Any members out there that own this model and can give me a fair assessment of the overall quality and ease of use for game skinning and processing? Seems like a good folder for the money and have been considering one for camp chores and skinning. Believe the rubber grip model has 420 HC steel blade. Just looking for some feedback from owners satisfied with this Buck knife.

The Buck Folding Alpha Hunter is not one that I own...but have looked at awhile back.

Specifications:

Catalog Number: 7594
Blade: 3 1/2" (8.9 cm) drop point, S30V steel
Thickness: 0.120"

Handle: Rosewood Dymondwood with stainless steel frame
Sheath: Genuine Leather

Forever Warranty and Made in USA...

This one is on my list Shooter as it seems like a heavy decent quality with either rubber or wood grip. The rubber handled one has 420 HC stainless and I did hear the wood handle has the S30V like you state and that ATS 34 I believe. Got a couple fixed blades and was looking for a handy folder that comes with a pouch for belt carry. Thanks for input.

It's a fine looking blade...and it's a made in the USA Buck !!
