While I do like the red accents more than the all blacked-out one that I have however I do prefer the S45VN steel that mine is wearing.... Also the price jumped slightly to $199 but I do believe it I'd a very limited run of 5 or 600 only but I may be wrong on that, I have the 112 in S30V and marbled carbon fiber which I do know is limited to 600pcs and I own two of them so 598 lol
I love Buck. I own 89 knives, many of them high-end Microtechs, Benchmades, Spydercos and ProTechs. Bucks however strike the perfect balance of quality and pricepoint for me. My first knife, which I saved for and bought for 25.00 in 1980 was a Buck 119 and it still holds up today. Their BOS heat-treat is superior and I love supporting US companies. While they don't get everything right all the time, and they have plenty of knives that just don't do it for me, they will always have a soft spot in my heart. Feel better soon MC!
I use this knife. I love the jimping myself. It's not great for slicing straight down, but if you're cutting at an angle you may find that the jimping is kind of genius. Most knife guys are cutting straight lines to open up packages of new knives or cardboard. In real life use though...the jimping isn't as useless as it appears at first glance. Great review. Thanks
When it comes to USA made knives, I am willing to pay a 10-15% premium over a foreign made folder with like materials. That being considered, I think 105 for the s30v/micarta is absolutely a fair price. When you add to that the Bos heat treat and Buck's warranty, it helps tip the scales towards being a good value.
I agree 100 percent. Just not sure the grind is thin enough. It’s good it’s a hollow grind. But still looks pretty thick
@@theknifeconnection9571 from the ones I've seen they aren't that bad. Though I think I may be giving buck some slack on their thickness behind the edge since they've improved dramatically from the thick hollow ground 110s. I have one from the late 70s when they were still using 440c blades and it's an oddly done hollow grind. I put a more acute edge angle and took the bevel up a bit further which made a drastic difference. I don't think their newest stuff requires that sort of edge modification.
@@JustIn-op6oy I hear ya
I'm not willing to pay that much more. I was interested in the Select model of the Sprint but $60 is way too steep for 420HC and FRN scales. I miss the 345 Vantage Select...it was a solid value for $30.
..pretty good..pretty good..not bad..it must be very hard for you to admit this bad boy is a very good offering from Buck…yes BUCK!..LOL
Thanks for the review. Glad I sent that one. That was the one I hoped you'd review because I don't see a lot of Buck knives reviewed and I think there is a lot of value there. Great job MC!
If anybody is even thinking about getting this knife, than get it. I promise you won’t regret it.
The history of the company and their customer service makes me more prone to buy this knife.
I’ve had some Buck knives most of my 49 years and always has great customer service every time including repairs and replacement- they’re an American classic company imo
Bought mine in 2/22 and it immediately became my EDC. I lost it on the farm and went crazy trying to find it... no joy and almost immediately ordered a replacement. None of my previous EDC's would do!! About a week after receiving the replacement my sister in law found the original sitting right where I left it after cutting up some boxes for the trash. So my Sprint Pro brown burlap Macarta is back home where it sits so well.... and BONUS, I now have a spare.
There is nothing that I don't like about it after over a year of EDC! The pocket clip is raised up on the end just enough so it's very smooth to clip it on thick jean pockets! No hot spot for me!!
I damaged the Macata scale and asked Buck service to send me a new one.... they said send it in and well put a new one on for you. I sent it in with a check for $15 and they replaced the scale, polished, cleaned and sharpened her up.... back in my pocket in less than two weeks!! Great knife and great service!! Buck Rocks!
I have the ops pro version. Love it. Nice review.
I live this knife Soo much, my old man bought me one a whole. Back because I collect blades but this was one of my users, 2 mths ago it got lost in a truck at work and never returned 😢 I wanted to cry
2 Bucks in one week MC? Sounds like my last paycheck.🥁
So the Buck dosen't stop here? 🧀
I guess I better Sprint out and get one. 👻
Very well said regarding S30V "not being a super steel".
Hmm
Iv used the burlap micarta 841 sprint pro for a while now.. overall pretty good edc
I love to see the modern designs in a USA made Buck knife. Trying to pick out a new knife for Christmas is sooo hard. So many great knives
I agree. This yeah I was able to get a maxamet para 3. And a couple cheaper knives.
"What's going on RUclips?!" Never heard you saying this more tired that today. Hope you're getting better!!
I absolutely love mine
Spot on MC, saw the Micarta version at Cabelas a month ago and couldn’t pass it up. The pocket clip falls into a part of my hand that just doesn’t cause any hot spots. Still worry about walking to close to the truck though, bad habit. Buck, Case and SOG have bumped up their game with modern folders. C’mon Gerber your turn!😂
Have you seen the Gerber sedulo? Gerber has also brought some heat to the game
Thanks for the videos
Great review.
Like the look of the jumping honestly, flipper looks a bit pointy but that normally isn't normally a huge issue for me.
I like my buck sprint a lot. Hollow grind makes it nice and slicey for its overall thickness. Buck does a great factory edge… on par with hogue. Surprised you like it as you said considering it’s a buck lol.
How is the flipper mechanicals holding up
I really like the design- especially the scale contouring. If it was thumb studs instead of a flipper I really be on board. But still nice nevertheless.
I'd love for Buck to do some more collaborations with G&G Hawk. Their Marksman was just mwah. Buck needs to work on their QA though, relying on people to take advantage of the warrantee instead of doing it right the first time isn't on.
Thank you, sir.
Feel free to come out from under your rock. I have numerous Buck knives including the 840 Sprint Select, a variation of this knife. My Buck knives all have performance qualities similar to what you have observed.
Buck Pops open great 😊
im hereeeeee :>>>
I like the design, but too small for me. Trying to handle a 7.5” knife is just as bad as trying to handle my 10” 610 Ruckus. Awkward.
People overlook BUCK for the reason you mentioned. We know BUCK for their "old hunting knfie style". Who knew they were "modernizing the look" to appeal to the EDC crowd.?
Don't know if Spyderco and Benchmade knives have the same "KICK out " on delolying the blade. I have the old 2011 Paragim Pro. w/ detent. Kicks out with AUTHORITY. Wondering if knives from Spyderco and Benchmade havet he same KICK....only CON? It's a 2 handed close....you feel the spring even on the close..closes with a satisfying CLICK....like a pistol mech.
Love the "bolster lock" idea. For deploying/closing. Also functions as a "safety" preventing anyone who shouldn't be playing with the knife from deploying the blade e.g. non-knife people and kids.
Now if they would offer CF, Ti and Alu on the Paradigm Shift knives.
I bought the micarta one and I liked it but returned it because I was more interested in a different knife. It is an amazing knife tho
I dread the day I start making a decent amount of money, because I know that 50% of it is going to go to knives…
I just wish it didn't have a red clip. I just don't like calling that much attention to my pocket with a candy red clip sticking out. Maybe it's just me?
I hope your voice gets better man.
I would rather have it satin finish then black coated
" I joke about the Buck 110", why?
That jimping is gonna tear your pants apart
tell your pants to stop being weak
I yell at my pants all the time. I just can't seem to get them to toughen up.
(Me standing but curled over awkwardly with my face near my belt line at Walgreens) - "BECOME MORE RESILIENT!!!"
Nah.. It’s not sharp. They smoothed it out pretty nicely
So 160$ for this well made knife made right here in the USA is an issue to you but you’ll buy a $500 China made knife no problem lol. IMO I didn’t mind paying the extra for the CF Vs the micarda because it’s still a great value. The only thing I’m going to do is take the red finish off the clip because it’s just a little too much red for me.
"Well made" is a bit broad. There's a huge difference between this and my $500 Reate made SBD Damasteel Evo Typhoon. Night and day. I'm all about buying American, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend that it's better or even the same as the SBD. Sorry.
@@metal_complex Well there should be because it cost 5x as much lol.. It just seemed like you kept bashing the price tag over and over that’s why I commented.. I feel $160 is not over the top for what you’re getting. Obviously I enjoy your reviews or I wouldn’t be watching just a difference of opinion that’s all. Have a good weekend man
You are always free to have your own opinion. That's all my videos are 😉
@@metal_complex True true 👍
They been making goofy knives like this for 20 years.
