$159.95
Hoyt Buck's first knife, made from a worn out file blade in 1902 was a fixed blade. The U.S. Government requested blade donations for the military after the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was then, that in the basement of a church in 1942, that Hoyt Buck began making knives by hand.
Utilizing ball bearing technology, the Buck Sprint's are designed for smooth and efficient opening with a reduction in friction for rapid blade deployment. The reverse tanto blade shape gives the knife piercing strength while also giving you the smooth cutting surface of a drop point. The blade is S30V steel tempered with Buck's famous BOS heat-treat; the blade has fantastic edge retention. The blade is black Cerakote® coated to provide further corrosion resistance and durability. The handle is a strong and durable, black canvas micarta. A sturdy liner lock secures the blades while in use. This knife has a convenient deep pocket carry clip for easy carry.
The 3-1/8" reverse tanto style blade has a hardness at 59-61 Rc. Measures 4-7/8" closed and weighs 3.2 oz. Made in the USA. Suggested retail is $200.00.
