Buck Vantage Select
on: March 12, 2015, 11:02:37 PM
Anyone have one, seems like a heck of a bargain for a  made in USA knife. looks like you can get one for under $25 on E-bay.

I wish I could help you with your dilemma but I have no experience with this particular Buck.Sometimes you just have to reply upon your own instinct rather than someone else's opinion. Good luck.

I have a few of these and can vouch for them. They're absolute top-notch knives. Amazing value for the money :2tu:

I have one that alternates with other knives as my EDC. Excellent knife, holds an edge, mechanically sound, light weight, easy to open one handed, good blade lock.

I like Buck knives.

Well,it took a couple of days but two members gave very positive remarks for this particular Buck.

Good luck with your purchase Steve.

I can't comment on the knife itself, but the steel is still my go-to in all its different uses.

IIRC Smashie had one of them at the last UK meet-up.  If I'm right then I remember being very impressed with it. :)
