The drop-point blade, a compact 3″ length with a thickness of 0.120″, makes for a sturdy and versatile tool, capable of handling a wide variety of tasks. And it isn’t just any blade, it’s a testament to Buck's meticulous craftsmanship. The Paul Bos Heat Treat process ensures remarkable edge retention, bringing you a blade that refuses to fail. The satin finish of the S35VN Steel is a visual delight, a reminder of the exquisite craftsmanship that goes into making this tool.
A neat little addition to this masterpiece is the Cerakote® coated reversible stainless steel pocket clip. It means your knife, your trusty companion, will always be by your side, ready for action. The sleek, compact design, weighing only 4.8 oz, belies its robust capabilities, making it an essential companion for the modern-day adventurer.
And the cherry on the cake? Buck’s Forever Warranty. This isn’t a mere tool, it's a lifelong companion that you can rely on, always.
