if you guys had a choice of two of these knives?

[wecoyote]

I say hold each knife and see which one FEELS most like your uncles. Which one reminds you of him the most while holding it.That is the one to keep.

Unless the older knife has a makers mark (stamp) or you know who made it, the time period and it's value, I would recommend the Case XX and probably the Buck 119! While the Buck 105 is slightly more valuable than the 119, you can do so much more with the 119 and also the mere size of it, scares the shiite out of would be attackers, LOL. However, I am also a little biased as I was gifted a Buck 119 many years ago and I carry it all the time. The Case XX should be a no brainer due to it's value and potential increase in value!

Take the Case with the striped grip. You can't get that one anymore, but you can still get the black handled Buck.

After seeing the pics of your Bucks, I just remembered to get me one.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Just picked up a Buck 124 Frontiersman.

I'd go for both Bucks. Good solid user knives. The other two are junk, but that's just my professional opinion.

im not a hunter of animals,but i have a friend who likes the small buck,the case i would take as a treasure hunter.

I would go with the Case. some of the best knives made

 

[voodoo]

good choice

 

[gunsil]

The "old one" probably isn't that old, looks like a WW2 or newer Phillipines made knife. The Case is really new, like ten years or less, and the Bucks are much better quality knives for users.

The Schrade your brother chose could have a little collector interest if it is of the older US made (pre 2004) vs. the more recent Chinese made variety. I have heard unfriendly things about the newer ones.
