Buck B&C Hunt Fair Chase General Hunting Knife


Fantastic
What can one say about a Buck knife, except beatiful. Almost hate to take it afield, almost too pretty.Too big for skinning whitetails, but will come in handy to split pelvic bone. Also making the othe guys in deer camp green with envey. Thought these were discontinued in the 1980's. Very happy with purchase
Excellent survival knife.
I have been using this knife for years. This Buck knife, also called the General or 120, holds an edge, has good balance and has a full tang. It is longer than the Buck 119 knife and is almost like a small machete. I have seen this knife used on a couple of survival shows on tv where it is the only knife carried. I have a number of knives for various tasks but this one is great for camping, hunting and anything else where a fixed blade would be appropriate.
update review
knives are beautiful. however, the scabbard of one (I bought three each) is severely cracked ontop of the belt loop and cannot be restored by leather conditioner. maybe I can keep the other two sheaths (which are showing evidence that they too are very dry and beginning to crack ) from cracking with leather conditioner. all three scabbards are extremely dry, indicating poor quality "tanning" process. be cautious.
Amazon.com rapidly replaced the defective sheath with one that is perfect. I am astounded as to the care that Amazon.com places upon assuring the satisfaction of its customers. I noticed that the replacement knife box had been opened to assure the quality before mailing. thank you..well done!!!

Buck 290BLS Rush 2-1/2"


good knife for what it is
I needed a little less intimidating knife for work, opening boxes and general use. i am a big fan of benchmade but they are sometimes hard to find and very pricey. This knife is nice and looks good, i wouldn't suggest letting other see you use the assisted opening since it opens with a flip of the safety and a light touch to the portion of the blade that is exposed on the back strap. Be careful with this one and you will enjoy it.
Best Knife that I have owned
Lost my previous one of these. Very pleased with the sharpness that the blade keeps. Love the locking blade and the fast opening action. If I lose this one, I will replace it with the same knife.
Great EDC knife
As a person who doesn't like to be without a knife, I'm always looking for a good one to carry. Large knives are to difficult. Tiny knives are too..well...small. This is what I consider a perfect size for a white collar type guy. It is light but strong. It is one of my favorites.

Pros:
Great size
solid build
Decent steel
Easy opening and closing with one hand
good looks

Cons
If you take it apart for cleaning...good luck getting it back together

Buck 393CM Omni Hunter 12pt Camo Guthook Fixed Blade Knife


Better than expected.
Knife was razor sharpe right out of the box. Easily shaved the hair off my arm. I wear a large glove and the knife handle fit my hand comfortably. Nice size blade, american made, and from a Christian company this is a great knife that should last forever. The sheath is very nice, but made in China and would fit about a 2 inch belt.
Buck Knife
This is a good reasonably priced hunting knife, the gut hook works quite well. Both the blade and the gut hook hold their edge pretty good. 420HC steel is a good choice for making knives, but not the best S30V steel (which is used by benchmade, I think) is alot better, however it costs quite a bit more as well. For my purpose skinning an ocasional deer or bear this knife works great. The Benchmade knives cost about $80, which is out of my price range. Overall a good product from a good company.
Great Knife
I have been hunting and prossesing my own deer for ten years now and this is a good tool to have in the field and on the bench. Very sharp, only set back would be that the grip is made for plastic, not a rubberized compound so when it gets wet it is a little bit slippery.
