Bear & Son is another good knife (also made in USA) at reasonable prices. I have two, plus a Remington Arms folder (same style as the Buck 110) that was made by Bear & Son (Remy and B & S contracted with each other). Bucks have nicer machining, fit and finish, but the B & S are still good and a little less expensive than a Buck.

I read the title as "Looking for a wife."
What a difference.

Those look like hunting knives, used to skin animals, not the regular kitchen knife.
Actually… the sharp point and sharply-angled edges of the "tanto" style blade are poorly applied in skinning.  Tanto blades are best at piercing and slicing.

Are "tanto" style blades best used in self-defense?

Is Karate a better defense than using knives?  I studied karate for two years, but had to quit because I kept coming down with H flu (bacteria), which causes pneumonia. This was the causative factor of death in the Spanish flu. Apparently, someone was a carrier of this nasty bacteria. In addition, there were some women who were ugly and evil gnostic witches. They openly hated Christians and threatened us. I left and never returned to study martial arts.

What knife do you recommend for skinning?

A trailing point blade is usually best for skinning. Basically, it's a blade with an oversized belly or when the spine curves up making the tip of the blade point higher than the handle or high enough to skin efficiently.

Tanto blades are good for self-defense and many other tasks, but skinning is not among them. Skinning is best accomplished using—drum roll— a skinning knife. I am not a skilled hunter, so cannot give good advice for a particular skinning knife.
"Is Karate a better defense than using knives?" It depends on the persons involved.
