This is one of my all time favorite knives. I usually go for the more expensive knifes but this knife is relatively cheap and gives me everything I could ever want for a knife. My only tiny tiny complaint is closing the knife. Sometimes your thumb may slip of the liner lock. This causes little to no issue for me and I have someone small hands. This is one of my favorite knifes. I got it about three years ago and it still works great!
Overall, this is a more than substantial knife. The person who reviewed before just seemed to have a lemon. The wood handle is nice for what it is. It gives it a bit more of an old fashioned feel rather than tactical. It seemed a bit dry when I received it though, but its nothing a little stain or oil can't fix. The blade is very sharp, the lock up is very secure, with no blade play in any direction. In regards to the pocket clip, it's great for deep carry and not too tight yet strong enough to clip to your pants/jeans/etc. My only real complaint is I wish the flipper was either a little larger to get a better flip on, or if it had some jimping like the Vantage Pro Force product line has. My initial take would be to rate this a 4.5. If you're looking for a cheap yet reliable folder for which you won't pull your hair out if you accidentally lose it or something, then give this product a shot.
Overall not a bad knife, blade is sharp, lockup is good. Wood is a nice touch and looks good, everything was nice and tight as it should be. Only complaint is the thump flip, like everyone else, and I agree, there needs a touch more meat there or a couple notches to give it just a little grip for the flip. Other than that, it's a decent carry knife.
This Buck knife arrived on time and packaging was in good shape. Unfortunately, there was a piece of one handle inlay missing. I have sent the knife to Buck for replacement. This one should never have gotten past their quality control people. I purchased this knife to replace one like it that I had given as a gift, and the blade appearance seems to be not quite as good as the first one was. I have let Buck know of my concerns. They have not yet replied but I only sent the knife about 11 days ago.
Modern Buck Quality. Pretty Poor, but slightly better than Trash.
Boy, this was not a great knife. The action grinds when I open it. Nothing that I can't take it apart to fix, but I'm unhappy I need to do it. The blade is pretty dull, and I'll need to sharpen it before I use it (and I'm NOT terribly exacting about this - I should care more, but I'll normally use the factory edge for awhile before I re-sharpen it.) The liner lock has failed to engage correctly twice, and I need to be pretty brusque to get it seated correctly when I open it. The fit and finish were poor. The handle was OK, but nothing special. Pretty much standard modern Buck quality, which is generally pretty awful. I have a couple of modern Buck's that went thru G&G's finishing process, and those are treasures, but this is the third dog in a row I have had from Buck - I believe I'm done. I should have known better, but I listened to DCA and Seth V and they got me believing it might be a really nice knife. It wasn't.
