The new Buck Knives Range Series is a family of folding knives that represent a meaningful evolution for a company famous for its spine lock classics. This series introduces Buck’s first crossbar lock system, a secure and smooth locking mechanism that operates intuitively for both right- and left-handed users.
Available in four models, the reversible, deep-carry pocket clips and jimped thumb studs make these ideal knives for everyday use. I prefer the Mini model because it’s lighter and nearly as compact as my ultralight headlamp. Made in the USA and backed by Buck’s “Forever Warranty,” these knives come with the brand’s strong reputation. And Buck is based in Post Falls and offers pre-arranged factory tours. MSRP starts at $119.99. Buckknives.com
