You can read my full review of Buck's Mr Crappie Slab Shaver at:

http://iknifecollector.com/forum/topics/my-take-on-buck-s-mr-crappi...

I received the knife as a Christmas present.  I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with it.  Some jerk on Amazon slammed the knife giving it one star  simply stating "It's made in China, need I say more?"  My reply back to him  was "yes, you do."

I've also posted a similar review of the knife on Amazon the link to it is:

https://www.amazon.com/review/R1O8P790NSVUSO/ref=pe_1098610_1377162...

The short version of the review is:

The blade is 420j2 which came razor sharp but will need frequent sharpening compared to Buck's 420HC steel.  The scabbard is really nice with a minor flaw, and the grip on this full tang beauty is superb. 

If you're a week-end angler that is more prone to catch and release and only occasionally keep and fillet your catch then this knife will probably be more than adequate for fish cleaning chores.

If you process 20 or more fish every time you go fishing and you fish all the time, then I'd say spend the extra $10 and get the Slab Slinger.  you'll be sharpening this one more often than you like.

I've been writing a blog about bait knives.  My latest review was on Buck's Clearwater 021.   It is located at:

Cross-posted in Knives On The Big Screen.  Started watching Dexter over again and look what Dexter used for his first kill.  A Buck 119 with a Cocobola handle.  Good taste!!!

We both learned something didn't we Jan? Still, I have a very early version Buck, so not a total loss.

I also agree about the Rancher, I like it more than the Stockman, which is the same size. It's nice having the awl available if needed. Next to my Buck Congress the Rancher is one of my favorites for EDC.

I was the other person viewing the knife!  Syd is correct, if the pics are not clear or precise ask for more.

In looking at the earlier post though Syd, that Rancher is one sweet knife!!
