Buck Vantage Select - I love this thing!
on: February 14, 2020, 08:34:14 PM
Back in 2009, I decided it was time I moved from carrying tiny and easily-pocketed folding knives, to full-sized folders. Heck, I never even heard of the acronym EDC at the time. Every Door Chimes?

After much research and time spent (in other words, binge-watching YouTube and excessively reading reviews and blogs), I finally decided on the Buck Vantage Select. I was not disappointed. What a beautiful and functional knife.



By the way, there is a link at the end of this write-up to reveal what is in the box above.

One of my favorite features Is the EXTREMELY deep-carry pocket clip. This is about as discrete as you can carry a full-size knife in your pocket without actually just dropping it right on in with your keys and pocket change.



Also, Buck's famous 420HC steel is great, and the profile on the blade reminds me of an old barber's straight razor. It even has the little "zing" sound when you run your finger across the edge to check for sharpness.



Only $29 too, which started me on a "much needed" quest for quality knives at $30 and under...a sort of game I play whenever I'm out shopping at a store or looking online at knives. I'll share more of my collection as time goes by.

Thanks, and comments are welcome.

Buck knives have always had a special place with me. My first was a 112. I was at a month-long youth camp and needed a knife...OK, wanted one.

I didn't have enough money for the 110, so I bought the little brother. Loved and used it for years then gave it to one of my sons.
