B55 Compact Lock Knife

キャンプに持って行くポケットナイフの中でも薄くて小型ですが、歴史のある外観のためか所有欲が満たされます。 写真はスパイダルコのDragonfly2、Buck 055、ビクトリノックスCompact、オピネル6を並べています。何かの参考になれば。 重さがDragonflyよりもありますが、個人的には許容範囲内です。 あと、真鍮部分の汚れ等に関するコメントがありますが、個別にビニールに包装した状態で出荷されているわけではないので、当然につくかと思います。 私はメガネクリーナーのような布で少し拭きましたが、個人的には全く気になりませんでした。

This is a great knife and concept, a 110 shrunk down to an adorable yet useful pocket knife size. The thing just exudes quality and class, feels good in the hand, has zero blade play, and it came scary sharp (bald patch on my forearm to prove it!) with a needle-pointy tip as well. I thought about getting a 500 series, but I prefer the clip point over the drop point for its fine detail and piercing ability (it looks cooler, too), and also the brass bolsters over the nickel silver bolsters because I like how the brass patinas. It's easier to just grab the blade with your thumb and forefinger than to use the actual nail nick. It's refreshing to use an old-school lockback after having fiddled with a liner lock knife before. You would think the handle would be too small to be comfortable but it's not really. I have pretty big hands and I can still get good leverage on it. The brass and wood composite are so nice to hold that I tend to turn it over in my hand while thinking about something. The blade steel is 420HC, as most of Buck's knives are. It may not be the latest gee-whiz supersteel, but I'll tell you what, it's an honest working steel that's proved its worth from decades of hard use on 110s. During my research, reviewers on Youtube have stated that this particular Bos heat-treated 420HC is at least on-par with 440C and AUS-8. I repair and build computers, so I used it recently to open packages of new gear and cut cable management zip ties (another plus of the clip point, the end of the blade is thinner so it can fit inside the zip tie better). I'm also finding myself pulling it out for miscellaneous uses that I didn't think of before I carried a knife, such as cutting a loose thread instead of pulling on it. It hasn't dulled yet after a week of sporadic use, but I got a ceramic sharpener for when it does. Overall I couldn't be happier and I expect it to serve me well for years to come. Note: I saw some people saying the lockbar is raised slightly on the back end while in the closed position, this is normal. They grind the lockbar flush in the open position so you have a smooth surface while using it. If they ground it flush closed then the opposite would be true. I heard their custom knives don't do this, though.

What this product to replace one I lost many years ago. Just what I was looking for.

Oft kopiert, nie erreicht. Das Buck 55 ist nicht nur ein schönes Messer, es ist von der Qualität einfach Top!! Scharf wie eine Rasierklinge. Der spezielle Buck-Stahl, 420 HC", der besonders gehärtet wird und nicht mit gewöhnlichem 420er Stahl zu vergleichen ist. Gute Holzgriffschalen. Was soll man noch sagen. Es ist ein Buck.

Große Klasse ! Die Harley unter den Foldern !
