Hi all,
I already tried the search function but I was unable to find what I am looking for, I was unable to find anything on the BUCK website either.

I recently received (as a gift) a Buck folder. It has black G 10 handles, a big lanyard ring at one end.
The blade is half serrated and is in a black/grey camo pattern with BUCK and CHINA on it.

Can someone tell me more about this knife(especially the quality)?
I usually use my knives to pry/cut/break stuff.
I also like it to be used as a last resort weapon , FI weapon retention.(I am a LEO, no prior mil exp.)just in case.

I also carry a leatherman on my duty belt (getting well-worn now).The folder goes in my trouser pocket.
Last knife I had was a Eickhorn-Solingen Pocket Rescue Tool (the glass breaker worked perfectly as well as the seatbelt cutter, but the blade itself easily got damaged).

Thank you for your info in advance all.:D

Regards,

Chris.

If there is a question about Buck knives being made in China, ask Buck.

The main factory is now in Post Falls, Idaho and I have been given the tour by C.J. Buck himself and plenty of knives are being produced there.
