BU501: 501 Squire Knife

Buck Knives

A perfect blend of classic style and modern performance, the Squire is an ideal everyday carry folding knife. Similar in size to the popular 55, this compact knife features a 2.75" drop point blade crafted from satin-finished 420HC stainless steel. This blade material is celebrated for its excellent corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening, making it a reliable tool for any slicing task.

The Squire's beautiful rosewood Dymondwood handle provides a sophisticated look and a comfortable grip. It's easy to open with a traditional nail notch, and the sturdy lockback mechanism ensures a secure blade lockup. With a closed length of 3.75" and a weight of just 3.00 oz., the Squire is a discreet and elegant addition to your pocket. It's proudly made in the USA and comes complete with a leather sheath for convenient carry.

420HC 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 our 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 we harden 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.

Pros: Blade Sharpness, Ease of Opening, Handle Feel, Handle Material, Lock Ease of Use, Lock Type, Sheath, Weight
Cons: Overall Quality
Cute knife, but it's got blade rap.
I like the knife, it's been my work knife for cutting heavy plastic wrap at work for a few days now and it does that fairly well. Build quality is *fine*, the pins stand pretty proud on the covers, they don't stick out like there's something wrong but they're definitely not flush. The ones in the bolsters also haven't been polished to the point of disappearing. All that is just whining basically, though. That's stuff that I'll stop noticing within a month. What's going to bother me forever though, is that the knife has developed blade rap, and I think it might be off of the backlock. That's something that I could have done without for $70.

a knife/a time machine
As an everyday carry this small knife is ideal for me. Slips into my jeans so that I hardly feel it's there. Opening letters; carving toothpicks; opening packages; etc. But this superbly crafted folder is all that and more: it's a time machine. It takes me back to my youth when I carried a Squire all the time. It was a Buck. A legend I could depend on in a time in my life which was much less complicated than it is now (I'm almost 78 now). The way it fits in my hand, the sparkle of the nickel silver bolsters and the ideal shape of the blade makes me feel young again and holding a made in America companion going forward. Even the little sheath is well crafted. So I'm carrying two legends that hav e served me well for many years: Buck and The Knife Center.

Great size
I am a retired police officer who carried a lot of tactical knives during my career . Got this knife because it is so carryable . It turns out you can use it for just about anything you could do with a bigger knife but just more convenient. I have large hands and this fits me just fine. Very sharp and easy to re sharpen. Has a nice sheath although I usually carry it in a cargo pocket. Bought a second one just in case
