Good Knife for the Price

Rating:****
I bought 10 of these knives. 1 for me and the rest for the fathers and groomsmen. I have to give this knife high praise for innovation. Too many knives are the same old same old.
This knife has a unique opening feature and locking mechanism as well as a bottle opener. You get these two new features at a price that is reasonable for the size of the knife.
Maybe the quality lacks but so far the knife has worked just fine, especially for the price. Comparably priced knives are usually half the size, so with a combination of innovation and price this knife is well worth it, although I probably wouldn't keep dropping it on the floor until it breaks.
Good knife at a good price.

Solid

Rating:****
First impressions of this knife is that the locking mechanism is very solid. The locking button is a great change among pocket knives. I do not see this being my heavy duty knife, but for quick, everyday uses this knife fits the bill. The blade came super sharp and the rubber grip is a great asset. The bottle opener is shallow and does not open caps on the first attempt...although this 'feature' is not the reason I bought the knife. I was surprised the knife was not made in the USA as with most other Buck knives, but nevertheless the sheer quality is apparent throughout the construction. At this price it's worth picking up. I am going to get another one for my father.

Great Knife

Rating:****
This knife has a great blade with surprisingly deep serrations which work well for cutting rope and webbing. The bottle opener is easy to use, the handle is supper grippy and the locking mechanism is unique, lockign the blade open and closed. I guess if you're an idiot and drop it on the kitchen floor FIVE TIMES it may not function as well as expected.

I have two critiques: 1. the handle is such sticky rubber that it is difficult to easily slide in and out of a pocket; 2. the clip catches and bends out of shape easily requiring you to remove it and bend it back into shape.

Good Value

Rating:****
I bought this knife to put on my climbing rack to cut old webbing from anchors and the occasional 7 mm cord. Great knife for the price. You shouldn't expect really high quality for this price. It just does the job. I wouldn't want to hang an expensive knife off my rack anyway. I put the knife in my pocket and hurled myself to the kitchen floor 5 times. It didn't open. It passed. Did I mention is does a really good job at opening non-twist off beer bottles?

Good daily knife

Rating:****
I enjoy using this knife, it is very durable and useful around the house. The major complaint I have is that the opening on the bottle opener is too large. It usually takes me 2-3 tries to open a bottle. I do like the ability to open it with one hand, although the mechanism is a bit larger than I would like. Overall, I like the knife and use it on a daily basis.

Great knife!

Rating:****
This is a very well made knife with features that you will not find in others. I like the rubber grip becasue you can keep a sure grip on it when your hands are wet. Unlike the metal handled knives of the same size, I find that they become very unsafe when my hands are wet or have food on them. Good value for the money if you are looking for an all-purpose blade.

Great knife!

Rating:****
This knife is great for the price. I cant afford Bucks assisted opening blades but this is just as good. The blade and serrations are super sharp. The bottle opener works but isn't the best. Even though these knives are made in China they're still better than any Gerber I've ever used.

better knive then you might think

Rating:****

Great knife

Rating:*****
Great knife for the price. Super easy to open for righties. May be difficult for lefties. I'd say this knife is definitely best suited for camping and backpacking. The grip is awesome and it feels great in your hand.

Negative Reviews:

I wouldn't buy this knife again

Rating:**
I bought this knife for camping, canoing, and everyday use. The knife still works great and, as a Buck, keeps it's edge for a long time. However, the blue handle looks really cool when you buy it and then turns nasty after a few months. I keep this knife in my pocket pretty much all of the time. After about a month it started to turn from the bright blue to a dull, browned look. Now it is all a nasty brownish green color. The blue handle is also flaking off now. I will be returning this knife to REI soon to exchange for another knife. I like Bucks, but the handle quality on this knife is terrible. Pass this one up for another knife if you want one that will look good for a long time.
