## Description

Hoyt Buck's first knife, made from a worn-out file blade in 1902, was a fixed blade, and for many years, all Buck knives were fixed blades. Now, nearly one hundred years later, Buck Knives continues to offer a comprehensive line of fixed-blade knives, ideal for field and work.

Review: Rock solid, premium knife at an accessible price - This is essentially a premium fit and finish, USA-made knife, which uses common-sense tactics and traditional designs to charge a lot less than you'd get from most brands of this quality. Sharpness and edge retention is fine; better than a lot of knives I've used. I know you can find more premium steels than 420 in a $100 knife, but don't let it scare you away. I temper steel for a living, and this steel is great. The heat treat and edge grind matter just as much as the alloy, and Buck knows this. Their design and blade hardness is excellent, and 420 is still a good stainless steel to begin with. It's beautiful, strong, razor sharp, and the perfect style and size to keep on your hip without scaring people. The use of Dymalux Walnut for the handle is also great, as ordinary wood is beautiful, but not as weather-resistant or age-resistant as new synthetics. By using Dymalux (resin-infused wood), this has the beauty and feel of natural wood with the durability and longevity of a synthetic material. It's extremely functional and well-proportioned, with a grip that fills the palm well for such a compact fixed-blade. It looks and feels like a work of art, and is quality and durability from top to bottom.
Review: Quality built, USA Made knife of heirloom quality - This knife reminds one of an era long past where product longevity and pride in craftsmanship were of the utmost importance. The wooden handle is a medium brown and is contrasted by brass accents. I have found the handle to be very comfortable and sized perfectly for average to large sized hands. I have used the knife in the field and have found the handle to become somewhat slick when field dressing game; however, I feel completely comfortable when using the knife, due to the design of the hand guard. The blade was very sharp out of the box and continues to retain a great edge despite field use. It is adequately sized for field dressing deer, not too large or small. The biggest let-down regarding this knife is the brown, leather sheath. It is made in Mexico and the quality doesn't appear comparable to the knife in which it is designed. The knife is secured in the sheath with a buckle strap that fits snugly behind the hand guard. This design has proven to properly retain my knife in the sheath and keep it from falling out; however, I would like to see the sheath made from a thicker leather or incorporate a composite insert to add some rigidity to the design. With that said I still feel this is one of the better values on the market. Although the sheath is somewhat lacking, the knife is incredible. The blade is sharp, retains a great edge and the handle is not only durable, but aesthetically pleasing. I believe the design and quality craftsmanship will prove this knife to be a great heirloom that will provide dependable use for generations to come. Great knife and MADE in the USA. NOTE: I previously purchased another variation of the wooden handle, Buck Vanguard from another retailer. The other knife is the same design and quality described; however, it supports a rosewood colored handle and a black, leather sheath. The total cost of the desertcart purchase was less expensive than the rosewood variation. Just a note in case one is considering purchasing multiple knives and would like to know what other style options are available.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it made in the usa or china?**
A: USA

**Q: would you reccomend this knofe for skinning and gutting deer?**
A: If you've never owned a Buck knife let me tell you, they hold an edge like no other knife you've ever had. The workmanship on this knife is of a superior quality and it is an extremely good looking piece of equipment, so much so that I was hesitant about even getting it dirty let alone gut and skin a deer. That being said, I bought this knife for the express purpose of using it on North American big game. Between the 8 guys I hunt with we managed to bag 3 deer and a bear. I assisted in gutting two of the deer. The only thing I miss is not having a small lanyard to keep the knife attached to your wrist. Not only did we gut and skin the deer but we used it to butcher the deer as well. It has a hefty enough blade to separate joints without the fear of bending or snapping the blade. Yeah, I got it dirty. A little soap an water and it's like new. I did a little honing on the blade about a month ago and you can shave hair off your arm. Along with my Ruger #1 this is one of the better investments I made for hunting.

**Q: What part of the product is "know by the state of California to contain a substance that causes cancer'"? This is a warning on the side of the box.**
A: The state of California is insane.  They put this warning on absolutely everything, including a warning to "wash hands after handling."  It means nothing.

**Q: Is this USA made because it says origin is china**
A: Most Buck Knives are made in the Idaho, USA.  A few are made in China.  The USA made knives have the Paul Bos heat treatment, which makes a world of difference in the quality of the blade - even if the steel is the same.  The Vanguard 192 is made in the USA.  

I've heard numerous people barf out the rumor "Most Buck Knives are made in China."  That is not true.  Those who say it are either uniformed or lying.  Buck makes high quality knives right here in the United States of America.
