Buck Knives 840 Sprint Select Folding EDC Knife, 3-1/8” Pocket Knife Blade, Glass Filled Nylon Handle, 420HC Stainless Steel Drop Point Folding Blade, Made in the USA, Blue, 3.2 oz

I really like this buck sprint knife, the blade deployment was great and the lockup was perfect. Blade was spot on, nice and centered. I really enjoy the weight not too light, I like a knife with some weight, to me it allows for easier handling. The blade was really sharp too. I hope buck continues using the 420 steel, to me the perfect knife steel, keeping the cost down and super easy to sharpen. I have over 200 knives all shapes and models but I enjoy the buck knives that are made in good old USA. Now the not so good part, the blade that I received had some scratches that suggest to me that someone else might had owned this knife before, don’t know for sure though but, I’m not going to send it back for such a small concern. After I have had it for a week they will be more scratches anyway. I’m looking at the pro now, maybe a purchase down the road.

I have several Buck knives in my collection, but I've never used one for EDC (Every Day Carry). Lately, though, more and more knife companies have moved their manufacturing to China, and have suffered consistency in their products. I've given up buying from several companies, because what I've received from them was substandard. Not Buck, though. They still build in the USA, and the quality is still there. I purchased this 840 Sprint on a whim and I'm glad I did. First off, it's razor-sharp, right out of the box. Secondly, the ball bearing operation is amazing. The flipper stud protrudes just far enough that it doesn't interfere with carrying, but makes for a quick opening. I can one-handed open this knife faster than some of my assisted-opening knives. On top of that, it's slim and light. I usually take the clips off of my EDC knives because they usually don't sit in my jean's pocket comfortably. The clip on the 840 isn't attached to the back, it's attached to the top of the spacer, at an angle. A simple design change, but man, is it effective. It allows the knife to sit right in the top and side of my pocket without interfering or digging into my leg when I'm squatting or sitting down. And you can deploy this knife from any position, even sitting down. A lot of knife clips don't allow you to do that. With it's design, slim profile, and light weight, it's become my EDC. I've purchased one for my grandson-in-law and bought 3 more for myself. Why? Because I work my EDC knife real hard. I'll usually wear out an EDC in 7 to 10 years. When I find one that's perfect for me and is really, really comfortable, then, like a perfect pair of shoes, I buy several, before they change the design or quit making them.

Beautiful knife. Funny how like my blue iPhone 15 Pro Max and to a lesser degree my blue Movado watch it’s like a darker blue, but I like the color quite a lot overall. I wouldn’t want it to be too bright or flashy. As many others have said it’s a Buck, speaks for itself. I have bought quite a few Bucks throughout my life and can’t see myself ever phasing out of them. They’re timeless. Love how the clip is on the other side as opposed to many other knives. This was new to me but it grew on me. I rarely ever lose anything and maybe it’s under my car seat but I believe it was stolen from me cause I can’t find it. Either way I’ll likely buy another one!! I like it that much. Not too big, not too small. Amazing blade, very sharp (factory sharp enough to cut hairs), very sturdy and the blade looks sort of rough on the sides but it’s still a beautiful shiny silver and I believe it looks how it was meant to. An odd + to the blade looking rough is I don’t have to worry about random scratches messing with my OCD 😂😁 Oh, also - Made in USA 🇺🇸

Extremely sharp blade. Well made

This is Buck's $65 version of a $5 Chinese plastic folding knife. I really can't believe it. Anyway, it probably has good steel and the flipper action is very smooth and positive but it's a mostly synthetic handle with just enough steel on one side to make a liner lock. It's a real cheapo that I would not have bought had I seen it in real life first. It is a cheap workday oversized work knife. Something a $10 Old Timer could do just as well, you know, like open a box. And speaking of boxes, Amazon shipped this knife in it's box in a freaking plastic bag so needless to say, the factory Buck box got pretty much destroyed in transit. Makes it kind of hard to give as a gift now. I'm really disappointed in Amazon these days. About done with them.
