Buck Knives 389 Canoe 2-Blade Folding Pocket Knife, Burlwood Inlay Handle with Nickel Silver Bolsters, 420J2 Steel Spear and Pen Blades, EDC Pocket Knife, 2.7 oz

To be honest wasn’t exprecting much when i first got this 7 months ago. For the price I just needed a better knife for work better than my stanley box cutter. It exceeded my expectations. I use it daily. Cutting straps, hoses, rope, opening mail, amazon boxes and sod like butter, even using it to poke the ground when checking for sprinkler heads. The quality of this knife is really great. The Blade does lock in place really well and its a little hard to fold it back up but thats what you would want in a slip joint. The size is perfect, disappearing into my overalls pocket and fitting my wallet when im not at work. The functionality of this knife is well worth it.

Well, this was a pleasant surprise. This wood-scaled Buck Canoe made in China is a very nice piece of workmanship - blades are well centered, fit and finish are smooth all round, no gaps. It isn't as fancy as my American made Case Canoe with its bone scales and brass liners, but the fundamental workmanship seems every bit as good, and as for blade alignment, maybe a little better. It is a sweet pocketknife, seems like a good purchase, and I'm sure it will last as long as I need it.

My daughter (8) wanted a pocketknife for Christmas. I wanted to get her a Buck because of their legendary quality and sharpness, but was really torn because I knew this particular Buck is made in China and I wanted her first knife to be made in the good old U.S.A. But the canoe model seemed like the perfect size and fit for her hand, and, well, I figured the memories we'd make with her first knife would mean more to her growing up than the country of origin stamped on the blade. So I went with this one after all, and I'm so glad I did. First of all, she absolutely loves it. So there's a win right off the bat. :) But objectively speaking, this thing is a Buck knife, plain and simple. The design, the finish, and the quality are impeccable. The blades open easily, close positively, and are just as scary-sharp as my higher-priced, American-made Bucks. The handle is larger than most of Buck's wooden folders. It gives a nice chunky grip, and the blades are broader as well, which I really like. The shapes of the blades are also more suited to the sorts of things kids do with a knife, as well as the entry-level bushcraft kinds of things we do together. My daughter was thrilled with the real wooden handles with the brass bolsters. It's got a very classic look to it and just plain works. All in all, this is a beautiful knife, perfect for a child's first knife or even an adult who just wants something a bit beefier than the more slender pocket knives that tend to dominate this space (namely, non-locking folders with wooden handles). I'm really glad we got it for her.

I bought a Chinese made Buck 389 several years ago and within a short period of time the spear blade became somewhat loose with no snap. I decided to buy this particular one because of the burl wood and have found it to be better made. After 6 months of daily use the blades still snap back in place as well as when I received it. The steel used is easy to sharpen and while it doesn't have the edge retention of say D2 it holds up fairly well. A few passes on a leather strap and it's back to shaving sharp. It fits in the watch pocket of my jeans has become my daily carry knife.

This is the exact knife my grandpa had. He would always let me play with his knife and pocket watch. I got his pocket watch when he passed, but his knife went to my uncle. So I bought one for myself, and its fantastic. Such high quality. The wood and the metal are premium and beautiful to look at. I carry it with me everyday.

Excellent knife, while expensive for a pocket knife it will probably last a lifetime. It arrived extream y sharp. It is made well so it is a bit heavy. It works better than I'd expected. Would definitely recommend to Family, friends and to you.

High quality knife at a great price!

Very nice knife, holds edge very well. Durable carry it everyday.

Einfach genial , handlich und sehr robust

Buck fatto in Cina. Ben curato e con una buona affilatura appena scartato, ma la lama ha un po' di gioco. Consigliato solo per l'estetica, con la stessa cifra si prendono Victorinox qualitativamente molto superiori.

Gute Qualität. Sauber verarbeitet. Super scharf geschliffen. Kein Klingenspiel. Top Zustand.

super Messer

Zierliches Messerchen. Auch nicht so scharf, wie meine anderen Buck angekommen. Trotzdem hübsch.
