Buck Knives 0770 FlashPoint Folding Knife with Carabiner Clip

Solidly constructed, there is nothing loose, no wobble between the blade and body. It’s very solid almost like a solid piece of metal when open. The blade is not an assisted opener, but it opens very smoothly and easily. Quickly broken in, with some practice you can sling it open or closed, only holding the safety and a flick of the wrist. The carabiner is a main feature for me. It has a nice pocket clip, but the carabiner is what I find myself using now, simply clipping to a belt loop. It's very easily accessible this way and it quickly becomes natural to pull it off and open the knife. Jimping around the base of the blade aids in opening and closing, my thumb does not slip. I find myself putting my little finger in the carabiner for a very solid grip and leverage when opening/closing while holding the safety. It just comes naturally and makes this feel much more of a sure grip/ easy open than some other thumb open lock blades I've had. This is easily a one handed opener.To compare to my Buck 110, the weight is about half (213g, 110 vs 108g, 770) and just over a half inch shorter.The blade came extremely sharp out of the box, sharper than a Buck skinning knife I bought at the same time. I've been very pleased with the shape of the blade as well, it feels strong in its design. Overall, a very solid and highly functional knife worthy of having with you every day. Since buying it I've rarely carried any of my other usual knives. Made in the USA is preferred, but this is an example of something made in China that was made the right way and not simply taking a cheap route like some products out there.

I actually use this as my emergency knife for cutting rope and other things in the outdoors. I think it could cut its way out of anything. It is very easy to open and close with one hand, which is what I was going for. No point in having an emergency knife that you have to struggle to open when one of you hands is busy doing something else, and I don't like knives that do not close. There are a lot of tiny knives on the market specifically made for attaching to a harness for emergency use, but all of my friends with those knives asked to borrow mine because it is so much sharper. I prefer a mixture of straight and serrated blade, although with such a sharp tip, you need to be careful. Cuts easily through webbing, rope, cloth, rubber, and probably animal hide. The "carabiner" inclusion at the end does not open wide, probably not more than 0.25". It will not fit on the gear loop of my harness where it is covered in plastic, but it will fit on a loop that does not have that covering.

I don’t understand the people that say this knife is flimsy. It’s not. It is solid, opens easily, the blade locks firmly with zero play, it is comfortable to hold. The handle is anodized billet aluminum with recessed plastic inserts for enhanced grip. It fits comfortably in my jeans pocket to the point I don’t even know it’s there. My only criticism is it is not easy to open single-handedly with your left hand. So if you are a lefty you may not like it so much. That and the stainless blade is a bit soft. Which can be good and bad. Good because the blade isn’t brittle, bad because in use it can be nicked and/or lose its razor sharpness. All blades are a compromise so I don’t see this last comment as a negative. Just resharpen it from time to time if necessary. Bottom line: This is a very good all around pocket knife that is well made, solid, stylish and a value for the money.

Very easy to open with one hand. Strong blade. The serrations work well when need extra help cutting through something tough. Feels good in hand. Weight distribution is comfortable. Perfect design for a utility knife. I purchased more than one so as to always have one ready about the house. I keep one in kitchen to keep kitchen knives from being used improperly to open boxes which would damage their blades and put users at risk of injury from a blade snapping off. This Buck knife opens cardboard boxes with ease for me. I also use it to cut large boxes into small pieces for the recycling bin. Please do NOT try to open plastic clam-shell packaging with this or any knife - way to dangerous according to ER statistics. For that I have found that sheet metal sheers work best for me when used with care and respect for the danger of opening plastic clam-shell packaging.

Che dire, nella fascia di folder di questa marca, è uno dei modelli che mi ha sempre colpito.La lama lunga 7.3cm, con uno spessore di poco meno di 3mm, complessivamente il coltello misura da aperto 185mm e da chiuso 115mm, appena in grado di contenere le 4 dita nell'impugnaturaL'acciaio non è malaccio, il solito e strausato 420HC, con una % di carbonio pari al .45% e una & di Cromo al 13%, quindi nulla di oltremodo fenomenale, ma un acciaio che fa bene il suo lavoro soprattutto se rapportato al costo del coltello, che entro i 40€ risulta essere un buon acquisto e certamente superiore a molti concorrenti, compresi i 111 monolama Victorinox (Mod. Sentinel).A livello generale, il coltello si presenta bene, è massiccio per le sue dimensioni, estremamente ergonomico e la chiusura e l'apertura si eseguono molto agevolmente con una mano, superiore a molti anche più costosi il perno, che in confronto al Axis lock medio, risulta essere bello grande e quindi facilmente agibile, ben curato nei dettagli e accoppiamenti...e quì arriva il classico "sdeng" sui denti, tranne che nel più importante e motivo della stella in meno, la lama che per esser dritta e non sbattere sulla cartella, va lasciata con il pivot bello morbido, cosa non esattamente al top su un coltello.Diciamo che questo scoccia non poco, perché le soluzioni tecniche generali, come i materiali usati, meritano ogni centesimo, ma questo difetto è quello che più odio, la lama centrata male.Molto utile invece il moschettoncino/cavatappi, permette di appenderlo al passante della cintura per esempio e di qualità la clip.Una nota particolarmente positiva va agli inserti in polimero, che risultano essere accoppiati molto bene, senza giochi e per ora non mostrano i rigonfiamenti tipici della gommazza da coltello da "brico".Che dire quindi? buon coltello da lavoro in questa versione verde-petrolio, sconsiglio la versione con "trattamento al titanio", non ne vale la pena in quanto si graffia e leva, lasciando per altro il coltello più brutto, soprattutto se consideriamo il prezzo maggiorato, peccato per la versione arancio che su Amazon viene venduta quasi al doppio di questo e anche quì, non ne val la pena.A livello generale comunque non mi sento che consigliarlo, un prodotti di questa qualità entro il prezzo precedentemente non si trova così agilmente.L'ho tenuto sottocchio per anni, e mi pento di non averlo comprato prima.

El aspecto general es muy bueno, de diseño muy acertado. Buen filo y el plus de media hoja serrada. Dispone de bloqueo de hoja tanto para abrir como cerrar, lo cual es un acierto. Y además lleva mosquetón de enganche . En definitiva excelente navaja para un uso diario o actividades en el monte.

Die Schachtel des Messers war zerdellt und auf beiden Seiten mit Tesafilm zugeklebt, was ein starkes Indiz für einen Versandrückläufer ist. Der Kunde vor mir war wohl genauso unzufrieden mit der schlechten Klingenzentrierung und dem kratzigen Klingengang. Ich habe das Messer in der Hoffnung dieses Mal ein ordentliches Modell zu erhalten nochmals bestellt, weil das Design des Messer sehr gelungen ist und es gut in der Hand liegt.

Ich habe das gleiche Modell während einer Trekking-Tour verloren, und habe mir dieses hier dann bei Amazon nachbestellt. Ich schätze sehr die handliche Größe und auch die gute Verarbeitung. Es is ein Messer, auf das ich mich verlassen kann und mach das Mitführen von Fahrtenmesser usw. auf Touren überflüssig.Ich kann hier nur eine absolute Kaufempfehlung aussprechen.

Schon wieder ein Messer bestellt für meine Messersammlung. Auch wenn es nicht in Amerika produziert wurde ist die Qualität voll in Ordnung.
