Pros: Blade Material

Cons: None

The best

Very lightweight and super easy to flip open. The smooth lines and thin body make it easy to slide out of a pocket and very comfortable to carry. The clip was a little tight so I just bent it open ever so slightly. Overall it's a great knife. Bought one for myself, one as a gift, and one to sit on the shelf in case I ever lose the first one. 420HC stainless blade made in the USA. What more could you want?

Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Handle Material, Pocket Clip, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness

Cons: None

Smooth operation

This is an edc knife which is light and comforting to carry and use. Ball bearing smooth operation opens with ease. Don’t know why other reviewer is unhappy as the lock functions very well and the scales have ribs that help with gripping even when wet. Overall, a very nice knife and backed by a forever warranty making this a great every day carry and useable knife.

Nice Buck Edition

From the blade to the handle this is one tough Buck, nice flipper excellent detent and opening action real sharp 420 HC. Buck to me has always vibed outdoors and rugged; this knife and handle feels real good from light cutting to a full Gorilla grip hard tasks. A real nice addition to the Buck family and made in USA.

Cons: None

Amazing

Grinds are perfect and the handle feels awesome for grn. The blade holds an edge way longer than my tenacious. I own microtech and benchmade knives and the ease of sharpening and decent edge retention makes this my favorite work knife.

Pros: Handle Material, Blade Material

Cons: None

Good EDC made in the US

Cons: The flipper action is disappointing. It's a bit sluggish, sometimes failing to open all the way. Not satisfyingly snappy. The fold of the pocket clip is mounted at a pronounced angle, which doesn't match the hem of the pocket, but it's not a big deal. Pros: Great blade, which is the most important thing, right? Mine came paper shaving sharp and is murder on cardboard. Love the shape. I like the handle material and texture. It feels good to me, even though its not premium stuff. I paid about $60 for mine, and I have to say my Civivi Badlands Vagabond is better at $40. But the Buck is American made, so if that's worth anything to you, there you go. In spite of its drawbacks, I like it, and am happy to carry it.

Buck DNA all the way.

A great no-nonsense flipper with an excellent handle, weight is good, blade sharpness really good. Overall quality well made. It's stonewashed which works fine to hide scratches but I would like a satin finish for $65. Made in USA Buck, good deal.

Overpriced

This knife was purchased for my personal collection of domestic and foreign folding knives. IMO it is way overpriced. First the good: the pivot and lock work well, and the blade (420HC) is unlikely to rust. The bad: the plastic scale have a cheap feel, the liners and lock are very thin and flimsy, and the pocket clip is designed to hang the knife at a 45 degree angle in your pocket with a sharp end to stick your palm. The grind is uneven so the edge is much wider on one side than the other. With this knife order I also received a Tenacious with black blade and green G10, and knowing that I could have bought a second Tenacious for $2 less than the Buck Sprint kinda makes me sick.
