I use the grooves on the back also the proper way is the little dip below the blade edge
It’s funny, once you quickly get to the negatives, your point is made but youtube’s adsense doesn’t pay if I cancel the playback albeit thumbs up. So it’s your dulcet tones then and knife banter!
JUNK
I believe you are supposed to use the choil on the fire steel
I like the look of the large Buck Selkirk Folder, but have never gotten round to getting one. Can anyone recommend a large, hard use folder that won’t break the bank that i may have overlooked?
Hit the handle trough with a piece of Australian hardwood and see if they go back .
Not sure why firesteels
Are an issue just use
The back of the saw on
An sak or use a lighter
Pete, I have to point out, it’s not a survival knife unless is cuts the head off a monster brown snake or stabs a hungry 20 foot saltwater croc to death. Can you please demonstrate in your next survival knife review 🙂
I would never survive an escape from a Viet Cong prison with this substandard knife. Pass.
Spot on!!! As usual!! 🙂
I like the handle shape. Shame about the steel and handle issues though. Buck really needs to go beyond the old school steels.
Your music selection fuckin sucks….
The curve on the bottom of the knife is for the forested watch the buck video on the celkirk
I see your BDZ1 got the crappy work sharp scar like mine does….I was kinda bummed with that LOL. That’s what I get for being lazy to get a convex going on her, normally I do it by hand. I love the bdz1 good stuff, the more I use it the more I like it.
Can’t say about the one you have but mine has been great and I have not had the handle problem. My spine is sharp but that wasn’t what buck intended to be used to strike the Ferrell rods any way; your spouce to use that rounded portion at the end of the blade; they did this to lesson the chance of someone cutting themselves idk I use the back of the spine. Can’t comment on the sheath making marks as I don’t really care about these things and never looked. But hey that’s what makes it so great different opinions makes for more options.
Definitely shouldn’t have been marketed as a survival knife. Totally deserves being jammed in a log and having the tip pried right off just on principal.
Buck is just so sad…has been for years now. Wont buy anything from them.
China BUCK still tougher than your barkriver kephart!!.lol maybe they’re marking A2 on 7cr13 by mistake off course you know the old stock mix up!!..
Buck, Made In China… no thanks… next !!!
Yeah don’t recommend it either I didn’t like it
Didn’t you make some comment in the livestream about not quite being ‘top-40’ guy these days, but certainly for TV/movies/music not being quite so out there now you’re a bit older and have a family? There you go, casually dropping the Volta in your montages again! Good news: there’s pretentious art snob left in you yet.
Lost me at Chinese 420…sad.
I really want to call this knife the Bucky O’Hare?? Got that out of my system. Bought a Chinese made Buck Canoe and the backspring was so weak it was dangerous, returned it twice, all 3 terrible backsprings, the Bucky O’Hare was never on my to buy list after that fiasco. Got the US made 679 and it’s been good as a hunting knife but the handle can get slippery. If you want a solid inexpensive survival knife try a Linder Guide, outside of Germany an underappreciated inexpensive beast of a knife.
Thanks Pete I had thought about buying one . You saved me so now I can purchase something else ,
I had several buck knives. They all broke.
Fixed blades and folders.
did you try using it upside down for a few hours and see if the handle scales would migrate back home? That’s an old knife scale resetting trick the pioneers used.
Disappointing but not surprising. I stick to the U.S. made knives Buck knives. Not all of them are great, but generally much better and a good quality.
+1 for drawing a dick
Im Trying Real Hard To Find a Positive!!! Maybe a Knife For Younger More Inexperienced Bushcrafters,so when They Bury the Edge in the Dirt/Grit and damage it While Learning You Don’t Feel Bad At All 🙂
Migrating scales…never a good attribute in a knife.
Spyderco has a new budget fixed blade coming out in the same category as this, it’s in 8cr13mov but I don’t mind that in this type of knife, $33 with a leather sheath, in the looks department it’s awesome. It’s the bow river knife.
Ask Survival Lilly to review!!!
Needs big finger gard
whats the sample at 2:00 min in?
Thanks for review! Got this knife given to me for a gift last year and I used it on a few camp trips to Joshua Tree and the desert. My scales moved the first time also…my husband ground down the 3 screws with a rotary tool(took 5 minutes) and that did the trick. Also after watching the promo video of the selkirk from buck …they showed the small grove/choil was used to strike the fire steel! Weird…but it works!! Budget / entry camp blade at best..but I’ve still had fun with it.
