Buck Knives 379 Solo Single-Blade Folding Pocket Knife with Wood Handle

I bought this knife for sharpening pencils. It is a beautiful wood color and looks good on my writing desk, and it it so small that it easily slips into a writing bag, pencil case, or coin pocket without any notice. Feather light compared to even my Swiss Army Knife. Probably too small for whittling anything more than writing utensils.

This sharp edged knife is well made. It is a little smaller than I expected and does not have a locking mechanism on it. But I use it to open packages, cut rope and cable and such, and it works great. The blade is very sharp and it's easy to handle. It feels like it will last a long time.

It’s not very big so it gets lost in those ants used in the new “ high paying jobs Pres. Trump is creating LOL. It’s definitely shar as all “buck knives are. It has plastic sides so they won’t rot overs out. My first gen of this style knife had wood sides requiring boiling occasionally it also had a ring for belt line attachment. This one does not have that feature. We don’t carry change in this generation so it won’t get lost in the stuff. Still if you need to open any Amazon box this little tool will make quick work of those news light weight boxes . I love this little guy . It has a good home in my work jeans. Small but really sharp blade.

Very nice pocket knife. But it isn’t sharp very disappointing

Love it. Quality is great and is sharp right out of box. Highly recommend👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Sharp, the perfect pocket knife.

I've been a buck knife fan since I received my first one as a kid. They have maintained their quality over time and I love the fact that they're an American company. I'm skeptical of products made in China. So why did I buy the Solo? Part of it was curiosity and part of it was because I wanted to train some young boys in the local troop on knife safety and get them whittling and wanted to see if these Chinese made knives are worth getting even though the cost is less. The Solo is cheaper than the USA made Buck knives. I want to get quality knives to train with but I also know that boys will be boys and the knives are going to get destroyed; I am hesitant in putting the more expensive Bucks in the boys' hands until they learn to respect what they're given enough to take care of it. Once the boys "graduate", I'll get them a real U.S. made Buck for them to keep - hopefully for the rest of their lives. The Solo is made in China. Not only does it carry Buck's name but Buck stands behind their product with a lifetime warranty. And it shows. The wood, bolsters, and blade are good quality. I'm sure you've experienced how cheaper blades fail to hold an edge, start grinding as you open them over time, start losing their luster sooner, etc. It's obvious that Buck has set some standards for the knives that carry their name. Even if these knives are produced in China, these are not cheap knockoffs. I hate to admit it but these are good knives that are worthy enough to carry the Buck name. That said, I'll only buy the China made knives as trainers. If I'm carrying around a Buck knife or giving one as a gift, it's going to be U.S. made. I have to admit that I grudgingly gave this a five. I don't like the fact that it's made in China, but I have to admit that it's a pretty nice little knife.

I bought this for my husband as a gift because he lost his.It isn’t heavy little weight is how I would describe it. It is a good size for your pocket and was beautiful and well made. He loved it and as of this review still has it.
