Quality?

[Elm]

I wonder if someone can help me.
I guess most survival knifes (with this kind of design) from the 80's are not quality knifes that you can actually use in field. If I get hold of this 184 model will it actually serve me as a serious camping through life if I don't directly mistreat it and try to keep it in good shape? I really dig the design of it.

If so do you have information how to keep a knife like this in good health?

Thanks,
LM

Thank you for the reply and suggestion. But by this do you mean that the Buck 184 will not do as a knife in field?

Thanks

...the 184 as we know, was made for the military, the war, not for the boys-scout... the profile, the line is directed to push, not to cut as a mexican-machete. And, as we also know, in "camping", it seems more useful to cut some wood that to drill a human body.

Haha sounds fair...
