BU0853BRS: Small Selkirk

Buck Knives

The 853 Small Selkirk is another addition to the popular Selkirk line. This smaller version provides a simplistic and lightweight fixed blade for outdoor situations. Great for general use, the Small Selkirk makes a handy companion to the larger Selkirk for a quick access trail knife. Named after the rugged Selkirk Mountain range beginning in the Northern Panhandle of Idaho, the 853 Selkirk features a stylish brown/black CNC contoured Micarta handle, 420HC stainless steel blade, and injection molded polypropylene sheath for easy carry.

420HC Stainless Steel

This is Buck's standard blade material because it approaches the wear resistance of high carbon alloys while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Add Buck's exclusive heat-treat process and you have a very user-friendly combination of superior corrosion resistance with excellent strength for wear resistance and durability. You also have a blade that is easy to resharpen. For best performance Buck hardens to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58.

Drop Point

This blade is full bellied with a strong, thick point for heavier tasks. It can also be used as a general work knife. The top of the blade drops down toward the tip, which minimizes accidental puncturing while skinning. The drop point blade is strong and very versatile.

great balance
Love the balance of the knife buck really knows how to make a good looking knife. The only critique is the Micarta handle feels fake and plastic not what I expected.

So much better than expected
I bought this knife because it felt so good in my hand and was perfectly balanced. I normally buy custom or.more expensive steels, but after 2 elk and 3 antelope, I could not be happier, especially at this price point. I did have a new leather sheath made for it, but that is just a preference, nothing wrong with the Buck sheath.

Excellent Small EDC Knife
The Small Selkirk is a perfect small EDC knife that has an excellent Kydex type of sheath that is kept simple. I say that because I also have the large Selkirk with a very poor elaborate sheath that is NOT very comfortable to carry on the waist belt. I take the small Selkirk on many of my hikes. It's very comfortable and don't even know I'm carrying it most of the time. Highly recommend it. Wish the large Selkirk had the same simple. sheath.
