It's one of the new Bucklite Max fixed blade drop points. This one is the B&C edition in Hunter orange.

The Kraton handle is a bit brighter than the pics shows. The OAL is 8.5" and the blade is 3.5" of cutting edge. It's made of 420HC and the knife is made in Idaho.

The blade is .010" thick at the spine and it balances on the first finger. It only weighs about 4 ounces bare and 5.5oz with the sheath.

The sheath is OK(I really don't like cordura sheaths). It has a hard plastc liner ,though to it should hold up.

I think I am going to get one of the little skelton Buck Paklite Capers , a mini steel and build a Kydex pack sheath for the set that can be taken down for cleaning.


I like that!

The "new" materials are amazing. I have a Benchmade Vex clip knife with a synthetic handle that is, as far as I can tell, indestructible! I like it because it was only like $30 so I can abuse it daily without guilt... unlike my more expensive knives...

I don't usually take deer apart in the field so I actually only carry a couple very small knives deer hunting. A tiny little featherweight Schrade and a Kershaw with an aluminum handle that is very light. For elk I carry that Buck Vanguard and a Gerber combo knife/saw. But I still use the tiny Scrade for gutting. I'm like a surgeon with that little thing! Nah, but it's much easier to NOT puncture guts while working inside the cavity with that little knife.

The CENTER will hold.

Reality, Patriotism,Trump: you can only pick two

FÜCK PUTIN!
