853 Small Selkirk

I bought these as a Christmas present for my son and daughter after a successful deer season. The great: *They were delivered quicker than expected. *Packaging was very nice. *Knife was razor sharp out of the box. * great feel in hand and the ridges on the blade and handle keep it secure when your hands get messy. *sheath looks amazing and holds the knife very secure. Con: I really can’t think of any The kids love these and hopefully they’ll keep them in their hunting bags for many many years.

Absolutely a top notch knife! The construction of this knife is ready for any task at hand both light and heavy. Durability is 100%. It has great balance with a perfect handle fit for any size hand. Love the design! Buck continues to be on top of the knife world.

Great knife! Would recommend. The small indent at the base of the blade is great for using with a fire steel, its quite a sharp edge in that little nook too, so it creates a concentrated and hot ember as opposed to a spray - a big plus in my opinion. The blade is substantial, thick and very strong - I feel super confident baton'ing through thick pieces of wood. Full tang is the way to go imo. One other cool thing is the removable and customizable sheath/belt loop/fire steel setup. You can unscrew the 'nut and bolt' style system to rearrange the position and orientation of the belt loop and the fire steel holder. The one feature I'm pretty bummed about is that the belt loop connection portion of the unit is fairly flimsy. Don't get me wrong, the knife is a 10/10 and for that I give it 5 stars, its not about the belt loop - AND the sheath is great! My complaint is simply that after one day after this arrived, I got excited and put it on my belt. I went to go over to my friends and show off my sweet new knife but as I sat in my car, the pressure applied to the belt loop portion of the sheath cracked in a way that totally compromised the structural integrity of the belt loop feather of the sheath. The sheath is totally fine, again it was just that belt loop piece. I actually have the knife and fire steel by themselves now and its hanging on my pack, but its considerably less convenient. Sorry for the rant, and again this knife is super nice and very worth the purchase - just keep it in the first belt section or when you sit you'll apply too much pressure to the loop!

Ordered a couple of days ago and got the notification it was delivered today. Upon getting home, I immediately noticed the package looked like it had gone 10 rounds with a hungry Tyson. Thinking it was just a rough trip, I opened it up to find the factory box looking like it was served as a dessert to the main course. The scales were a bit loose, but easy enough to tighten. No other issues were noted after the initial once over. I led with that just to give a heads up if someone orders this as a gift. Be prepared to do a quick check. The negatives out of the way, here’s the initial review. It’s a good feeling knife, after the tightening. I’m not out here rocking catchers mitts, but they’re not small either. About a large/XL in gloves. Blade has mass without being overly weighted to one end or the other. The edge is a standard factory. It’s better than a spoon, but it’s not a scalpel either. The sheath has a decent grip on it, but there is little wiggle towards the tip. I don’t imagine it falling out unless being helped, but some people prefer no movement. Configuring it for hip or ranger can be a bit of a puzzle. Not difficult, per se, but more involved that just slapping it on. The fire steel works, but it wasn’t really a selling point for me. I know it sounds awfully critical, but a knife, especially one that might be used in a critical situation, shouldn’t really be guess work. I work in an odd combination of climate controlled comfort and the elements in all shapes and sizes. Animals ranging from bears, coyotes, and mountain lions, all the way to addicts. I was looking for a knife that would be capable in most of those scenarios, and I hope I found it. A little testing before active duty is just good business. So far, I recommend it. Sorry for the novel. Hope it helps.

I love this knife! I always keep a fixed blade knife in my backpack, and have respectively carried a Tops Knives Black Rhino, Black TP101 , a Benchmade 140BKSN Nimravus Knife Fixed Plain Edge Black Coated Blade/ Sand Handle , or a Gerber LMF II Survival Knife, Coyote Brown [22-41400 ]. All are great knives, but two of them are really heavy to be carrying around in my bag, and the Nimvarus is just so pretty I don't really want to beat it up. Enter this Buck. This knife is so comfortable in my hand that it's difficult to describe. The material used in the handle, and the shape and angle of the handle are fantastic. I find that the pommel is also at a very comfortable angle when held where it could be used to drive tent stakes or the like if that was something a person really felt the need to do with a knife. The knife is a nice blend of size and manageable weight. It came very sharp right out of the box, and the blade work on the knife appears as refined as some knives I have spent much more money on. The 420HC is the standard steel used by Buck on all of their knives and has traditionally been a good choice for a multi-purpose knife. I made the mistake of trying the fire steel with the notch in the blade and the sparks were plentiful and long lasting to the point I was worried that I was going to have to put out a fire on my desk... I know that some folks are up in arms about this blade being produced in China, but I trust Buck to have good QC both at home and over seas, and ultimately, they are an American business. Bottom line, for the price, I think anyone would be hard pressed to find a better knife.

Entregado a tiempo y buen

まだ、あまりハードな使い方をしていないので実際の耐久性はわかりませんが、フルタングで見るからに頑丈そうです。それについては一部当たり外れもあるようですが、とにかく刃は良く切れます。グリップも握り易く、全体のバランスも良いと思います。シースは色々改造できるので、画像のように左利き仕様にしてみました。試行錯誤して結構大変でしたが、このような使い方もありますよ、との説明書がついていれば、もっと親切かなと思います。なお、コレクションとしてお考えの方は、ファイアースターターをナイフ本体で擦ると、かなり刃が傷だらけになるので、ご注意下さい。

Liten näpen kniv! Made in China

El cuchillo cumplió con mis expectativas. Tiene buen agarre, se siente cómodo al tenerlo en la mano, es ligero y el filo es bueno.

Nice size knife for the camp kitchen, or your hiking pack.
