How are the materials for the knives selected?

Buck Knives uses aluminum, Micarta, wood, steel, and more, to build high-quality knives that will last for generations. Materials are selected based on the knife’s intended use, ensuring you get the best-serving material in a purpose-built knife.

Una navaja sencilla y bien construida. Viene bastante afilada y es cómoda en la mano. También es lo suficientemente ligera como para llevarla día a día, el clip ayuda a su portabilidad. En general, es una muy buena navaja para quien quiera una para llevar al día a día sin hacer un trabajo extremadamente pesado.

Well built, durable and sharp. Well worth the money. Thumb stud is nice but the knife is too tight to ever be a speed flipper. But realistically, how often would I ever need to draw and speed flip. I easily removed the pocket clip because I like to pocket carry. The knife is light but of great material, and attractive! Not a wimpy knife! I have more expensive knives, but this is my EDC. Highly recommend!

Gutes Alltagsmesser mit scharfer Klinge, mit der man auch mal Kabel durchtrennen kann und dann einfach kurz nachschleift. Öffne damit hauptsächlich Kartons und andere Verpackungen. Liegt gut in der Hand. Würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen.
