If I need something longer I use a Buck 105, or a 120, but the 120 has never been out of the box. The 105 is from the 60's. The oringinal one was replaced by Buck when the handle came apart.
My wife had a 118 from the early 70's. She used it while hunting with her birds.
For heavier chopping, I use a Case XX machete that was in my father's stuff from WWII time on Kodiak. Of course ffor the really heavy stuff, Stihl is the preferred tool! 😉

I've never seen a Buck handle come apart, and saw in a video how they make handles for their sheath knives.
What exactly happened? Did the glue/epoxy used back then fail? The pommel pin break?
Which birds does/did your wife hunt with? Falcons? Sounds interesting.
