The Buck 791 Range Pro folding knife is a reliable pocket knife for everyday use, featuring a satin-finished 154CM steel blade, an FRN handle, and a Crossbar Lock!
Compact when folded, lightweight in your pocket, and sturdy enough for demanding tasks, this Buck folding knife is a serious tool that still boasts a distinctive style.
A design built for action
With its 9-cm blade, 2-mm thickness, and drop-point profile, this pocket folding knife offers versatile geometry for everyday cutting, preparing small items, or outdoor tasks. Its smooth cutting edge can be sharpened using traditional methods, while the recommended 20° angle makes regular maintenance easy. The satin finish gives it a understated look and minimizes distracting glare in the field.
154CM stainless steel is an American steel renowned for its good balance of edge retention, strength, and corrosion resistance. Originally developed for demanding applications, particularly in the aerospace industry, it later found a prominent place in cutlery thanks to the work of Bob Loveless. It is perfectly suited for an EDC knife intended for regular use.
The handle is made of FRN, a glass-fiber-reinforced nylon. This material combines lightness, rigidity, and good resistance to the stresses of everyday use. At 11.6 cm long and weighing 82 g, the knife remains comfortable to carry without turning your pocket into a miniature dumbbell.

An ingenious opening and locking mechanism
The thumb stud integrated into the blade allows for quick and intuitive opening. By placing your thumb on this small protrusion, you can guide the blade as it opens without having to use both hands. This feature provides real comfort during outdoor activities, DIY projects, or everyday use. The thumb stud also serves as a support point during use. It allows for better control over the blade’s deployment, while the phosphor bronze washers ensure smooth and consistent rotation.
The Crossbar Lock keeps the blade open using a crossbar that engages with the rear of the blade. Its ambidextrous design allows you to lock and unlock the knife from either side of the handle. This is a real plus for left-handed users, who are often left out in the cold by asymmetrical mechanisms.
Usage Tips
Use the blade for tasks typical of cutlery: cardboard, rope, soft wood, or preparing small items. Avoid twisting, using the blade as a lever, and cutting very hard materials. After use, clean the blade with a soft cloth and dry it thoroughly. A drop of oil on the pivot and mechanism can help keep the blade opening smooth. Sharpen the cutting edge regularly at an angle of about 20° on each side.
