MIUSA value Smooth in hand and action

In my EDC rotation this BUCK ,and all of the others in the Sprint family that I have, are excellent value knives. This burlap micarta Pro 841 is one of the best in hand feeling knives that I own, and my favorite so far of this series. The unfortunate truth is that BUCK has, and is still having some QC issues; and of the three that I currently own, two had to be returned to BUCK on warranty, Which really was no big deal, since BUCK replaced them without question with excellent sharpened replacements, and gave me a 25% off next purchase coupon to boot each time. Your mileage may vary. But ... I'm planning on getting another one, the all carbon one, to complete the Pro series.

Great fit, finish and steel.

I’ve used the knife for about a month now, so durability remains to be seen, but the fit and finish of the knife is excellent. Perfectly centered blade, clean, even grinds and very smooth flipper action. I use it mainly as an EDC and the edge has held up well as expected for the type of steel and heat treat. I’ve not sharpened it, just stropped it after breaking down a piles of 40-50 cardboard boxes a few times. It’s still shaving sharp and is easy to maintain. Great knife so far and the quality I would expect from a good Buck knife. The pocket clip catch sticks out a bit farther than I’d ideally want, but it’s not a big deal.

Buck Sprint Pro

I purchased this knife from Knife Center about 3 weeks ago and very pleased. Buck did this one right very smooth and strong and with the hollow ground blade slices through cardboard like butter. The only thing I did was take pocket clip off and carefully flatten in vice so no hot spot in hand and does not effect slipping in pocket. I highly recommend

Great knife from a great company

I use this knife as my EDC for everything from cutting boxes to prepping meals when I'm on the road working and I disinfect the knife before prep of course the 841 has excelled at every task The handle material is very unique and provides good purchase on the knife, the shape of the blade makes it very user friendly while looking great. The file work gives it that extra pop while being useful as jimping. The flipper tab is very useful and aesthetically pleasing. The detent is not super strong but works very well. The only issue I have with the knife is the knife clip sticks out too far at the end buck did it to aid in putting it on your pocket but made it stick out too far making a small hotspot ( I fixed it with a vise took 3 minutes). Overall it's a home run in my opinion. If you want a unique Anerican made knife quality knife this is the route to go.

Weak detent.

Very weak detent. It still flips good but I think this is going to be the big downfall of this knife for many. I'm probably going to send it to buck to see if they can do something about it. The other negatives are the strange pocket clip, it causes the knife to slid further into the way when in the pocket rather up against the seam of the pocket. They should've just used the excellent clip that the marksman and vantage has. The liners aren't skeletonized either. It's a little to thick behind the edge for my liking, a nit pick here though. The positives are the great materials and price, especially for a USA made knife. The micarta looks and feels great and bos s30v is a great steel. It has an an aluminum back spacer, a very smooth and free bearing pivot. It also has file work style gimping on the blade spine, a nice touch. The lock bar is easy to access and locks up solidly with no blade play. It's a great knife undone by that overly weak detent and strange pocket clip. With a stronger detent it'd have 5 stars easy.

weak detent, unfortunate pocket clip

There's a lot to like about this knife. Open, it's great. Feels good in the hand and the blade is one of my favorites. But the combination of a super weak detent and odd pocket clip makes the knife kind of dangerous to carry. I stopped carrying mine not long after buying it. The clip makes for comfortable carry only in the left front pocket of most pants. It is tip up and, in the left pocket, the (unnecessarily large) flipper tab rests against the pant seam. The blade is guaranteed to deploy in your pocket at some point on any given day, puncturing your pants or slicing your finger when you reach in to get the knife.
