Ok guys, I've been looking at hunting knives for literally YEARS! I want to buy my fiance a really nice knife for a wedding present (we're getting married in two months). He "lost" his favorite knife about 3 years ago (he had to leave it behind when we were going through a metal detector and --of course-- it was gone when we returned). I've seriously never seen him so devistated over a "material possession" and still to this day doesn't like to talk about it. Yeah-- he got that upset about his knife!!!
Anyway, meanwhile he carries around some cheap knife, but I really wanted to get him something NICE, that he could carry every day, and actually use-- I don't want something that will sit in the tin collecter's box forever (what good is that?). :)
Unfortunately, I never really noticed what kind of knife he used to have! :( I've tried to hint about it, with no luck. So I decided to just look for a good quality knife, and not worry about what he used to have!
I've looked at Case knives (I think he likes this brand- I've heard him comment on a friend's Case before). I also looked at Buck knives- I really think he'd LOVE this one-

...just not sure about the price on that one (so expensive!). Is the knife really, honestly that high of quality? Would he be able to use it DAILY?!
I also thought he might like something like this:

...All I know is that he's not the kind of guy who likes "utility" style knives. He'd rather have one with a handle made of whitetail antlers versus a steel/black/blued handle... You know what I mean?!
Also, he definitely USES his knives. He actually works in a forest- forestry and wildlife are his career, not just a hobby. So I think he puts a lot of value on a "good, quality knife".
Does anyone know any really good options for him? ...And remember, this is a wedding gift, so I just don't think a $20 knife from the tractor supply store will really do. :)
Any imput would be really, really helpful! Thanks!!!!!
