The Blade
This knife carries the company’s standard 420 HC Stainless Steel that comes with a satin finish. The knife has a modified drop-point design for greater power while piercing or stabbing. The Steel, however, is treated with heat in Bucks’ facility for more edge retention and stability. The Chromium composition of this knife gives considerable corrosion resistance.
The blade is rigid and has higher durability. It doesn’t wear off soon, the sharpening can be done by anyone with common tools. The blade’s design has a drop point in the front and rotator grooves in the rear end. This end is used in the one-hand opening that follows SafeSpin technology. The blade has a small amount of jumping on the neck for extra grip. This blade is also partially serrated towards the handle.
The Handle
The button provided on the handle has to be pulled or pulled according to the model and roll the blade rotator in a clockwise direction. This mechanism is found in a bunch of Buck Knives. Also, the handle features a Carabineer clip that can be tied with the zipper, rope, belt, or any other accessory.

The Locking Mechanism
The slide-lock in this knife locks the blade open while in use and also when closed for greater safety. The SpinSafe technology gives an extra bit of security by keeping the pulling finger opposite to the blade’s cutting edge.
