I've used the Big Buck for everything from whittling to splitting firewood. I originally bought it back in 1968 to take with me to war (my NG unit had just been activated and eventually ended up in Vietnam). My brother bought an Air Force "Survival" knife -- we didn't have the money for anything more and those damned near broke the bank. He left his knife in-country and I never took mine over to Korea. Last year I had my old knife "renovated" and professionally sharpened; all of my knives are sharp because it's safer that way.

Mostly I use my daily pocket knife for opening things or cutting things. I'm not going to get rid of any of my knives, though, as they fall have a place even if it's just sentimental.
