The folding knife fits comfortably in your hand and feels dibasic. Blade has zero game and everything is meticulously crafted. The slightly higher weight does not bother me because I wear it on a belt. The blade is super sharp and can also be well sharpen again. The bad reputation of 420 steel I can not understand. It concerns with this Buck knife to a really good 420 HC - steel with a good compromise between rust inertia and edge retention. One can this knife as a very well-made and sturdy utility knife designate where you have to have no fear, if it falls down times. Buck has done its homework here and offers a good value for money (70).
