685 hunting knife

This "600" series, I will call it, is an amazing product. I just bought the 685. Synthetic handles provide a superb grip on a 4" full tang blade. Excellent sheath. Made in the US. An incredible value. I have 2 and will buy more. Anyone who wants a serious and economical multi-purpose knife should order this. If you have never had Buck, this is the place to begin. I have always bought folders and have a relatively expensive and nice Buck hunting knife but this is a new level in value.

Pros: Weight, Overall Quality, Blade Material, Finish, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Handle Material

Ergonomic Issues

Purpose: backpack knife. I am not a hunter. I am a female with small - medium sized hands. (Not “slightly larger than average” like DCA) Things I like: Buck’s 420 HC steel, size, blade shape, full tang, moderate price, made in USA. Con.s: the handle. Not particularly comfortable for bare hands. The middle finger choil needs to be deeper and wider with a more rounded transition to the ring finger area. Index finger choil is fine. The thumb jimping could be eliminated. Would prefer for the spine to be exposed rather than covered by the green over-molding in the thumb area. (I like to stretch my thumb out on a flat, smooth spine.) I think Buck tried too hard when designing this handle. A more generic, neutral handle would make this better for hiking. (This knife may be designed specifically for hunters, not hikers.)
