What customers say about "Blade"
Buck Knives 102 Woodsman (0102BKS-B) Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath
- Quality on this Buck 102 is top notch. No gaps or flaws, razor sharp. The 4" blade makes for easy and legal carry where I live.
- Smaller fixed blade knife that is great. As for the people who complained about how small it is you should know what you are buying first and not complain. This is a superb product
- Obviously a longer blade could split larger billets but weighs more and takes up more space in pack. This size is perfect for me.
- A great knife to take camping, hunting, or fishing. It's one of the few fixed blades I have. The blade is long and slender, but not fragile.
- Good size fixed blade doesn't attract to much attention when you wear it around.

- This knife feels better than the 102 and the longer slightly upswept blade are spot on.
- Love this knife, quality buck knife. Wood is beautiful and blade is razor sharp.
- The 4 1/2" upswept blade is perfect for deer, duck, fish and camp cooking.

Buck Knives 118 Personal (0118BKS-B) Fixed Blade Knife with Leather Sheath
- It has the perfect weight/balance/angle.
- It's a bit more compact than other Buck fixed blade hunters, so it should carry nicely while still packing a lot of utility.
- I adjusted the grind a little bit to my own liking, but the design with the sleek, narrow, gently curved blade is just what I like.
- Great size knife. Not too big, but big enough to do the job.
- Perfect size for me. Smaller than the special, larger than the woodsman with a good size handle.
