I love the additional locking mechanism 100% better then the tiny switch on the Leek, and it locks the blade closed TIGHT! It is very easy to manipulate one handed, (great design Buck), and is supposed to aid in locking the blade in the open position as well, but I'm not spine whacking to find out. gives it a solid heft to it, but not too much. The handle isn't one of those dinky handles that comes with many smaller knives, but fits and feels good in the hand, and 3.5 oz. Actually held it next to a few to make sure, and yup, it is significantly smaller: So that all said, I just received a Buck Quickfire I purchased specifically for a "one knife challenge" coming up in March, since I never carry sub 3" blades in locking folders.ġst impression, this is a really nice knife for the $35 I paid for it shipped.Īt 2.75" it has all the feel of a 3" knife. The days when I thought S&W knives were actually made by the same folks who make the guns, and when I thought the "s30v" stamp was a special way to process Steel, not actually a type of Steel. The typical stuff you see in a case at a big box store. The days where the brand recognition ruled all, and the only "quality" brands I recognized by name were Swiss Army (didn't even know them as Victorinox yet), Gerber, KaBar, Case, and Buck. Not saying Buck us bad, by any stretch, they are capable and serviceable, and do make a fine knife, but I'm talking about the days when I didn't know about Benchmade, Spyderco, Zero Tolerance, and higher elmax and s35v, n690 and what have you. So I've been spoiled by better blade steels then 420hc since learning more about steels, knives, and the likes thereof, long since my days of ignorance when I thought knives were knives, and Buck knives were some of the best there is.
