I'm an enthusiastic collector of knives having bought or traded for hundreds of them since I received my first knife, a Buck pocket knife, 55 years ago. I like Buck knives, they are typically well made and a good value. Buck also provides you with quite a few models to choose from. I think I have nearly all of Buck's USA made knives. The Buck company's story is pretty interesting and their factory in Post Falls Idaho is not too far away from my home town. Just FYI...Buck does supply many models of knives but they are not all USA made. If a Buck is USA made it will say so on the blade. This knife, the BuckLite Max is one of the cheaper Buck knives but also one of my favorites. Why? I love the handle. I'm an old fart now and because of where I grew up, my hobbies etc., and my work I've spent a lot of time with a knife in my hands. Being able to hold your knife securely, even with wet or greasy hands is a must. The shape and texture of this handle along with the blade jimping makes for a very secure grip even with my broken down old dude hands. For my uses the blade shape on this knife is excellent. The alloy used is 420HC. This alloy is not the latest "super steel" but is widely used in tools etc. for a reason. If you look it up on line you'll find 420HC is tougher than the super steels. Plus there is a gentleman at Buck who found a way to consistently get the max hardness out of 420HC, 58HRC. That being said and having owned many Bucks (including the larger version of this knife) I almost didn't even bother to test this one. Here is what I found though: no chipping, or rolling on the edge, only some minor dulling when cutting on aluminum, copper, and bronze bar stock. All of which was easily sharpened out. 58HRC was found during hardness testing as expected. The blade is a bit thin at 2.3mm but with this tuff steel you'd have to do something pretty nuts to bend or break this blade. I am not a fan of nylon sheaths but Buck does a great job on this one. It is completely lined in tough plastic and it is only as big as it needs to be and the knife is held snuggly. I haven't even replaced it with a leather or Kydex one yet. Heck I might even just use it and not toss it in the knife junk drawer. That's a shocker. So what do you want a knife for? Are you a collector or do you just want something that will work faithfully for you, be safe, and not require much time to sharpen? This knife definitely fits that scenario and it's economical and USA made! That Buck knife I got 55 years ago...it has lived a rough life but I still use it. 'Nuff said. Grumpy old guy seal of approval!!
