James H. Parsons: Great fit in hand. Very sharp and easy to maintain. Looks great. Only thing I wish was if it had a horizontal carry sheath

Dale Kayser: Buck Vanguard is exactly as advertised - arrived quickly - is a great value. Past gifts for my Son and Nephew - I consider the Buck Vanguard one of the best hunting/camping knife for the money.

ButchNative420: Fits well in hand although the rubber handle has a very putrid smell!! Overall a very nice knife!!!

spot light: This knife is PERFECT! Perfect size! I would never consider anything bigger!, as anything bigger becomes BULKY & CLUMSY! I refuse to buy a knife that doesn’t have a hollow-grind. Very well done Buck.!!!. My only NEGATIVE is that it doesn’t come with a horizontal sheath!, limiting me to a pocket knife as my everyday carry. If it had a horizontal sheath, or if one was available, it would be my EDC. I could see this as a PERFECT knife for anyone who likes a vertical sheath, or purchases a 3rd party horizontal carry sheath.

a FANTASTIC knife!

Trina H.Trina H.: I received my knife yesterday. Right out of the box there were several visible issues. The sharpe edge of the blade had 2 nicks on it with a small section on the blade in-between the nicks lower than the rest of the blade. A small but visible difference. The brass behind the blade was tarnished and there was a gap between the blade and the handle. The pictures don't do the defects justice, but easy to see with the eye. I expected more from a buck product. I own 4 other buck knifes and have had no issues so I am assuming this is one that slipped through the system. I am returning it today and have ordered another one. Hopefully the next one is up to buck standards. Stay tuned!
Follow-up:
*** I received my second knife today. Faster than expected. Its a keeper. Whomever worked quality control when the first one I received was made must have fallen asleep that day. Proud owner of 5 buck knives now***

DoomOfSarnath: This is essentially a premium fit and finish, USA-made knife, which uses common-sense tactics and traditional designs to charge a lot less than you'd get from most brands of this quality.

Sharpness and edge retention is fine; better than a lot of knives I've used. I know you can find more premium steels than 420 in a $100 knife, but don't let it scare you away. I temper steel for a living, and this steel is great. The heat treat and edge grind matter just as much as the alloy, and Buck knows this. Their design and blade hardness is excellent, and 420 is still a good stainless steel to begin with.

It's beautiful, strong, razor sharp, and the perfect style and size to keep on your hip without scaring people.

The use of Dymalux Walnut for the handle is also great, as ordinary wood is beautiful, but not as weather-resistant or age-resistant as new synthetics. By using Dymalux (resin-infused wood), this has the beauty and feel of natural wood with the durability and longevity of a synthetic material.

It's extremely functional and well-proportioned, with a grip that fills the palm well for such a compact fixed-blade.

It looks and feels like a work of...

Christopher MacDonald: Comes exactly as shown. A beautiful, ergonomic knife with a very sharp blade. This knife is certainly a “lifer” that I look forward to using on hunting and camping trips to come.

Michael: Handtaget känns inte riktigt genuint, osäker på om det är en amerikansk Buck eller en liknande från asien
