With its 6.5 cm blade and a weight of just 55 g, this small pocket knife slips into a pants pocket without making you feel like you’re on a weighted hike!

A compact size, high-performance materials
This Buck folding knife features a smooth drop-point blade, designed to offer a versatile tip and good control when cutting. Made from 154CM stainless steel, it offers good corrosion resistance, excellent edge retention, and impressive strength for an EDC knife. This American steel was originally developed for demanding applications before being adopted by the cutlery industry due to its mechanical properties and performance in use.
The satin finish gives the knife a understated and elegant look. The handle measures 9 cm when closed and extends to 15.8 cm with the blade deployed. It is made of FRN, or Fiber-Reinforced Nylon: a glass-fiber-reinforced nylon that results in a lightweight, rigid, and durable material. Its texture ensures a stable grip without adding weight to the knife.

A blade that opens easily
Withthe thumb stud, opening the knife is quick and natural. Place your thumb on the thumb stud and guide the blade as it rotates until it locks in the open position. This one-handed operation is a real advantage for outdoor activities, DIY projects, or everyday use.
The thumb stud isn’t just for deploying the blade; it also helps maintain a secure grip during deployment. The phosphor bronze washers help make the motion smoother. The system is compatible with use by both right- and left-handed users.
A Versatile Locking Mechanism
The blade is secured by the Crossbar Lock system. This crossbar mechanism securely locks the blade and can be operated from either side of the handle. It thus offers ambidextrous operation and controlled closing, without placing your fingers in the path of the cutting edge. Fans of modern mechanisms will appreciate its simple, crisp, and efficient operation.
Usage Tips
Use this folding knife for everyday cutting tasks: cardboard, string, packaging, small camping tasks, or light outdoor preparation. Avoid twisting the blade, cutting very hard materials, or using it as a lever. After use, wipe the blade with a soft cloth. A drop of suitable oil can be applied to the pivot and mechanism. Sharpen the edge to approximately 20° on each side, then store the knife clean and dry, with the blade folded.
Buck Knives: A Sharp History
Founded in 1902 by Hoyt Buck, the American brand Buck Knives was built around a heat-treatment method designed to improve edge retention. Its famous 110 Folding Hunter made its mark on the history of hunting knives as early as 1964. Since then, Buck has continued to innovate by combining traditional craftsmanship, new materials, and modern design. Today, its knives are prized by enthusiasts of the outdoors, hunting, EDC, and collecting.
