You can't beat a BUCK..Just got a 722 today ,I'm loving this knife. Thanks for pushing me in the right direction- Love your show and what you do for the life of old knives. Stay sharp.....
I have the 110 slim and i love it, also have a spitfire and its honestly one of my favorite knives to carry. Its great that you can get affordable usa made knives still.
Just want to give a big thank you to Kevin the knife doctor! I was on lunch break at work and my Buck spit fire just came in the mail. Wow such a great knife. This is my new edc for sure.😊Thank you again for your generosity and for this channel! You bring so much to the knife community.
I have a lot of high-end knive and I just ordered a Buck 110 custom the other day. We always go back to our roots and a buck 110 is my roots. When I was a kid and you had a 110 you was the man.
I love Buck knives..it’s just something about em! Maybe because the first knife I remember my dad flashing around as a kid was a Buck 110. I still wanna check out the 726.
I’ve had the 112 Ranger for years and I just picked up the 722 due to your recommendation. Both great knives! I l got my 112 Ranger for $15 when it was being clearanced out at Rural King.
I just went on a tour of the Buck factory over in Post Falls Idaho a couple of days ago. I got to see the work and care they put into making their knives from start to finish. I got a few knives from them and I will be buying more! Great video!
@@theknifedoctor It’s a free tour, our group were the only ones there for it. They do 2 tours a day 10am and 2pm Mon-Thurs. They recommend you call ahead. Lasts about an hour.
Buck and Case both make great knives. Both companies also produce USA versions. Both companies also produce lower entry level versions and higher end versions with better materials I think the point the Knife Doctor makes is that Case does not really offer a more modern style of knife that is more affordable for the average worker. I can specifically say that Bucks warranty service is the best hands down. If you send your knife in for a spa treatment it will come back as a show piece. If you break the blade from abuse Buck does not refuse to replace the blade or charge the customer an exorbitant amount of $
Great knives. I love Buck Knives. I'm glad you got the Buck 112. I got one a while back. Its probably the sharpest new knife I've bought. Wow they are scary sharp. I don't own a lot of Case knives. They are expensive. Buck knives hold up just as good. God bless.
I couldn't agree with you mor Doc. The prices their asking on knives now a days is absolutely ridiculous. Been a loyal Buck man my whole life. Take care Sir.
I gave up on case when I was a teenager. Bought one and it had a crappy heat treat. Bought an Old Timer and loved it ( early 70s) . A couple of years later I thought I’d give Case another try. Same result. I stayed with Old Timer. I’d been sharpening my knives since I was 7yrs old. It was a mandatory requirement from my Dad. As for Buck knives , I’ve only had a few folders but none of their slip joints. I’ve had some of their fixed blades and they’ve been good knives. Case , in my opinion, has turned themselves into a collector’s knife company. They’re way too expensive.
I have a 112 ranger slim it's a great knife and a 726 spitfire buck has some awesome modern folders that are meant to be used. I agree spending money on a knife just to be to scared to use it is not right cheaper knife and use it every day is the way to go stay sharp Kevin
Case does make really good knives, but not as in the past IMO. Case quality control is at times less than desireable and customer service can be as well. I agree you get a lot of bang for the buck...no pun intended...with a Buck. The Buck slimline 112 and 110 are pretty darn good knives. Another great video! God Bless!
I love that new Bridgeline series. It’s right in line with the QSP and Ohio Jacks from TPK. Those are China made knives. I believe the Bridgeline are suppose to be competitive to those in the market of $169 according to Case. Take care🇺🇸
You should checkout the Buck Bantam knives. Three different sizes made in USA 420HC blade but it might be assembled in China. All three sizes are under $27. They are great knives for the money. Appreciate another great video. God bless Edit: The blades are made in the USA, the frame is made in China then shipped to Buck in the US then assembled. So I guess it's mostly made in USA lol.
If the bucks work for what u need it for, then its the right choice for u. The nice thing about our hobby is that we have such a big selection to choice from, theres something for everyone. But if thats what u choose, then good for u. We need to embrace everyone foe being different. Love ur content.
I believe case SS is 420hc case could absolutely make modern folders at a reasonable price. Buck also has higher end folders with s35 steel, buck has a bantam line of knives made in USA I have the 285 bantam and I’ve beat the crap out of that thing and you can buy them new in the store for 30 bucks.
It's funny but people do change their taste over time..... I was always a modern folder type person. When my Dad carried a LB7, I had a Gerber Gator and few years later I switched to a Spyderco Delica which has been my main EDC going on 25yrs.... I have many others and carried them to try out but I come back to the Delica. For me its the right combination of cost, decent steel, performance and fit. Buck was always "old" design stuff to me... the 110, 119 ect.... much like my Dads Uncle Henry LB7. Honesty these Spitfire appear to be very similar to the Delica in design and execution.... I'm glad to see them trying newer designs even tho its still pretty old.... anyway about changing taste. I still carry a Delica.... I now carry a Streamlight microstream usb also as my main EDC... but I have recently taken to dropping a gentleman's single blade slipjoint like a Boker Club or Case Trapper single blade in my left pocket.... you learn to appreciate different things with time and age
Totally agree i have 200 dallar knives in the collection but never use them always find myself using 50 dallar knives with mid grade steel and knowing how to sharpen and maintain a knife, i have no trouble . In ny opinion the best looking moder case is the Marilla .
I work as an emt in florida and have carried the buck vangurd for the last 15 years. Here is a little info the opening hole can be used as an oxygen wrench. Love the vids
my thoughts about 420hc , they switched to 420hc from 440c ( back when 440c was the super steel of the time ) when Paul Bos perfected his cryogenic heat treat method ( which everybody now uses not just Buck ) because it gave 420hc almost the same edge retention and toughness as 440c (non cryo heat treat ) which is a mute point cause EVERYONE uses cryo heat treating now. It may be easier to sharpen , easier to dull as well and then when you think about the life time of the knife you will buy 2 -3 of those Buck spitfires in the lifespan of 1 knife with s35vn blade steel.
Thanks for sharing this. I don’t think so. I still have old knives that’s been around 100 years. Just good old carbon steel. I think all this SUPER STEEL is over hyped for sales. I don’t need a pry bar, I need an Affordable knife I can use everyday. I’ll put the Spitfire up against any Brand of knife.
@@theknifedoctor and to make my point clear about 420hc and the whoDo Buck has pulled on its loyal customers peterbiltknifeguy did a 1to1 comparison with a buck 119 and Harbor Freights Gordon version of the 119 in 7cr17mov blade steel which performed identical to the 420hc ......... in case you dont know 7cr17mov is a modified 440a. here is the video link - ruclips.net/video/tXnCN5gvfC0/видео.html
I agree with you. I own one or two Case knives. Not real impressed, they are fine. To buy one of there better ones, not best ones, I could buy two Ontario Rat, or buck, Esee pocket knife, or Schrade & they are making some back in USA
I agree with ya. I would love to own a good american made knife but i cant afford the american prices. Youve got me on the hunt for a buck now. Some of the schrade old timers are being made in the USA the generational series.
Hi Kevin, that 112 slim is a great knife for the money.. I have the 110 slim too.. You might like that model as well. It's a little larger of course and still very slim and easy to carry! Thanks for the videos my friend!!
I personally think the Westline isnt all that great of a knive. My Uncle has one he is always complaining about how it wont keep an edge that long. Of course he's cutting steel leaders with it an using it to cut radiator hoses...Buck tho 👍. Ill stick to my Kershaw for edc.
Brother, I think this might be one of my favorite videos you've done. I chuckled a few times when you were talking about it's your right not to buy an ugly knife. Lol. So true. Buck is making some great knives. I've got one headed my way right now! Thanks for another great video!!
Awesome video. The new Buck knives are priced inexpensive. I think the quality is excellent but I still believe that case is the best quality knives on the market. I don't carry either brand for a daily knife
I carry the 112 slim, great knife for the money. Academy Sports have them for under $30. I agree with you pretty much on everything you just said. Great video.
Hey Kevin, You're right about the prices. I own a few Case knives but just can't use them as EDC. The ones that I have are bone handle Case knives and don't want to brake them in EDC. I also have about 25 Buck knives and all except 3 or 4 are EDC. Case and some of the other companys like Benchmade have got to stop with their high price bullshit. I don't own a Benchmade because if they don't care to make a decent knife that everyone can afford then I'm not going to back them and I have well over 250 knives - later
Hi Kevin, I also bought these Knifes here in the UK. The Spitfire and the Spitfire Mini. They are made in the USA, however, I can barley open them with one hand, they are very stiff. Any thoughts please?
Hey there Kevin! Just RE subbed. Don't know how I got UN subbed! Totally agree with USA, all the way! And I Can't afford to loose $$$ knives! Take care, and Stay Strong my friend!
Explorers, Frontiersmen, Trappers, Hunters of the past mastered Survival and built shelters, Cabins and skinned game for centuries with good old Carbon steel Butcher knives, Hunting knives, Axes and Hatchet’s . thousands of those great vintage hunting knives out there for little $$. The Hype over all these various super steels they keep coming up with is 90% marketing ! I only own 3 modern tactical quality Folders mainly as self defense every day carry. 1 SOG and 2 spyderco’s that I bought used and paid 1/3 what they sold new for and they were mint pawn shop buy’s. But I have tons of vintage Knives and quality axes and tools in my arsenal 🇺🇸 stay frosty folks- America been hi Jacked--SHTF time is coming’
Awesome!! I ordered a custom 722 Spitfire from Buck. Can’t wait to get it!! It cost me $114. But it’s too Pretty not to buy it. I’ll be sharing it when it comes in. Thanks for watching!!
Was not sure how else to contact you. I told you a few weeks ago I would send you a couple old knifes. I finally have them packed and ready to ship. Hope you life them. I’m curious to know what origin one of the knives is from.
Case modern folders have spotty quality control. I have a couple of videos on mine and it’s a great BUT there is a lot of negative out there about them. Love my modern folders, $100 is on the cheap end for my EDC 😅
Case XX folding pocket knives to me are the best in collection knives. They always will be because of their quality and being famously known for decades. They hold their value and are desired by many. If I was to buy a new EDC it would be Buck over Case XX. I don't buy Case XX new for EDC. I prefer to buy good used Case XX for that. I don't spend lots of money on EDC. It's simply because I plan to use them for everyday brutal usage. I don't buy junk knives for everyday use either. I will buy a decent low quality product for a specific job. That means I don't care if I break it. That's just me being me. I don't abuse a good well made knife. I have collections, I have EDC, and I have job knives. 😂😊✌🏼👍🏻
It's gotten to where the common working man that really uses a knife can't afford the modern folders.if Buck is keeping the price down I say buy them up
@@theknifedoctor there’s man. CJRB, Petrified Fish, Civivi, Sencut, QSP. A knife is a tool used to cut. The fact that it’s made anywhere outside the US is absolutely useless to anyone. Most of them are even made better. The CJRB Pyrite and Civivi Elementum are way better than what most budget US companies could put out. In the end, it doesn’t matter where they’re made. That’s why you’re paying $40+ for garbage 420HC steel.
case will never go and do what buck does I think most case knifes are over priced buck has always have some great knifes for a great price the 110 is a great example a knife thats copyed by everyone they still around 65 dollars and the spitfire another example case has collectors and such and still uses true sharp surgical pretty basic for a knife that will you be charged 70 to 90 dollars for and most of there pocket knifes are to small anyway I generally use something that is about the size of the spitfire or larger 4inch handles don't get me wrong I have some case floding hunters coke bottle hunter large soddys and such but case's tend to dull pretty fast bucks 420 is better basic steel but your right buck does have some quality knifes for around 50 dollars I think case watched as alot of usa companies went under in the last 20 years and they are taking advantage of it and they are following the trend of Benchmade and others raising their prices and people bought into the premium steel so called super steels alot of these companies could do what buck has done but with inflation I've noticed alot of knife companies coming out with budget lines with better steels and handle materials so that's good but thats why I'll continue to buy buck knifes and alot less case and the others that took advantage love what you're doing saving old knifes the charitys I'm a vet myself us army during the 80s spent some time in Korea and fort dixs new jersey so thank you for your service I subscribed when you had about 300 subscribers hung out ever scents you seem like good o'boy best of luck with everything doc and I'll be looking for some old knifes to save their lives
U.S.A. made all day long! Buck, Case or GEC. I just prefer knives made in the U.S.A. Stainless steel for cutlery use came about in 1915. Prior to that plain carbon steels built this country and many of those knives used in that making are still around. Utica and Case were there making those knives before 1915. I understand many men prefer stainless steel. They want the latest greatest steel, handle materials and newest technology in knives. Nothing wrong with it at all. In my older age I have a shorter tolerance for nonsense and flashiness. I just think a knife or firearm should be made to do it's intended purpose in the most efficient and simplest way available. Everything else is nothing more than a useless waste of time and efforts with no real purpose or useful reasons. All that being said a knife should be made for its intended purpose to cut. Any man that can't or won't maintain his belongings for this conversation his knife, well he's just a lazy man and probably has no business owning a knife in the first place. For me carbon steel is still the "King steel". Sky scraper buildings, Automobiles, Airplanes and all military grade equipment have been using plain carbon steels since time in memorial. 1095 is still the best cutlery steel for "dependable" "durable" knives whether they are fixed blade or pocket knives. If my life is dependent upon the knife I choose then I'm choosing one that's time tested and NONSENSE FREE! My advice to any man is to be competent. Don't be lazy. Take care of your firearms and knives and they'll take care of you.
Knives are great, still the four of these knives you just payed for is about what I receive from the Government for my social security to live on for a month?
I don't know if any of you younger guys remember when the Buck knife logo depicted cutting a steel bolt with a Buck knife and a hammer. The slogan was "we don't recommend using your knife to cut a bolt but it is capable of doing it". A knife is made for cutting. I have broken my fair share of knife tips in my 76 years of being around but it has always been done when I was missing the knife. No matter how good or how cheap it was. There is a reason that they sell hatchets, punches and screwdrivers. Still enjoying your videos Doc, keep up the good work.
I love my USA made Buck 112s, got a pile of em to prove it. I don't buy the 420HC anymore (nothing wrong with it) and get the S30V from the custom shop.
Sending it back to Buck for the lifetime warranty helps mitigate our “miss-steps” with our blades. Has worked well for me, even when the “hickie” was obviously my fault!
Bucks are nice 😊 But, I just can't choose one over Case XX 🤔🫡✌🏼👍🏻 The reason you said about Buck not changing for a long time. That's my thoughts as well. I'm your age as you know 1970 born. But, they are coming to be a more favorable choice for sure....😊
You can't beat a BUCK..Just got a 722 today ,I'm loving this knife. Thanks for pushing me in the right direction- Love your show and what you do for the life of old knives. Stay sharp.....

good looking Bucks
I love my ranger buck traditional model. I still have mine from 1974
Awesome!!
Couldn’t agree with you more!
Thank you!!
"Made in America". That matters. Good on ya for enjoying all sorts of knives.
Amen!! Thank you!!
😮, NOW !
I got to get one of those slim... Lol😅.
Semper Fi, brother....
LOL!! They’re really nice! Semper-Fi!!

You have 4 quality, beautiful knives, for the price of one case!
You are right. Buck gets it! 💯
AMEN!! Thanks for sharing this and thanks for watching!!
Also, you can get the 722 with the higher quality steel through their custom shop and they still only $110 compared to the more expensive Case.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing this!!

The Hype over all these various super steels they keep coming up with is 90% marketing ! I only own 3 modern tactical quality Folders mainly as self defense every day carry. 1 SOG and 2 spyderco’s that I bought used and paid 1/3 what they sold new for and they were mint pawn shop buy’s. But I have tons of vintage Knives and quality axes and tools in my arsenal 🇺🇸 stay frosty folks- America been hi Jacked--SHTF time is coming’
Thank you!!

Thank you!!
love the buck modern folders
Me Too!!
Buck makes the 722 in s30v steel if you can find one you get twice the edge holding
Awesome!! I ordered a custom 722 Spitfire from Buck. Can’t wait to get it!! It cost me $114. But it’s too Pretty not to buy it. I’ll be sharing it when it comes in. Thanks for watching!!
I've got a 722 custom on order.
ME TOO!! Can’t wait to get it!!
Was not sure how else to contact you. I told you a few weeks ago I would send you a couple old knifes. I finally have them packed and ready to ship. Hope you life them. I’m curious to know what origin one of the knives is from.
Thank you!!
Case modern folders have spotty quality control. I have a couple of videos on mine and it’s a great BUT there is a lot of negative out there about them. Love my modern folders, $100 is on the cheap end for my EDC 😅
BUCK USA#1
Case XX folding pocket knives to me are the best in collection knives. They always will be because of their quality and being famously known for decades. They hold their value and are desired by many. If I was to buy a new EDC it would be Buck over Case XX. I don't buy Case XX new for EDC. I prefer to buy good used Case XX for that. I don't spend lots of money on EDC. It's simply because I plan to use them for everyday brutal usage. I don't buy junk knives for everyday use either. I will buy a decent low quality product for a specific job. That means I don't care if I break it. That's just me being me. I don't abuse a good well made knife. I have collections, I have EDC, and I have job knives. 😂😊✌🏼👍🏻
It's gotten to where the common working man that really uses a knife can't afford the modern folders.if Buck is keeping the price down I say buy them up
Look into different companies. Plenty of better budget knives with way better material than Buck’s budget line.
Which ones?? Are they USA Made?
@@theknifedoctor there’s man. CJRB, Petrified Fish, Civivi, Sencut, QSP. A knife is a tool used to cut. The fact that it’s made anywhere outside the US is absolutely useless to anyone. Most of them are even made better. The CJRB Pyrite and Civivi Elementum are way better than what most budget US companies could put out. In the end, it doesn’t matter where they’re made. That’s why you’re paying $40+ for garbage 420HC steel.
420HC for the win. Tough as hell holds an edge good enough for me.
case will never go and do what buck does I think most case knifes are over priced buck has always have some great knifes for a great price the 110 is a great example a knife thats copyed by everyone they still around 65 dollars and the spitfire another example case has collectors and such and still uses true sharp surgical pretty basic for a knife that will you be charged 70 to 90 dollars for and most of there pocket knifes are to small anyway I generally use something that is about the size of the spitfire or larger 4inch handles don't get me wrong I have some case floding hunters coke bottle hunter large soddys and such but case's tend to dull pretty fast bucks 420 is better basic steel but your right buck does have some quality knifes for around 50 dollars I think case watched as alot of usa companies went under in the last 20 years and they are taking advantage of it and they are following the trend of Benchmade and others raising their prices and people bought into the premium steel so called super steels alot of these companies could do what buck has done but with inflation I've noticed alot of knife companies coming out with budget lines with better steels and handle materials so that's good but thats why I'll continue to buy buck knifes and alot less case and the others that took advantage love what you're doing saving old knifes the charitys I'm a vet myself us army during the 80s spent some time in Korea and fort dixs new jersey so thank you for your service I subscribed when you had about 300 subscribers hung out ever scents you seem like good o'boy best of luck with everything doc and I'll be looking for some old knifes to save their lives
Thank you very much!! Thanks for sharing this! God Bless and thanks for the support!
U.S.A. made all day long! Buck, Case or GEC. I just prefer knives made in the U.S.A. Stainless steel for cutlery use came about in 1915. Prior to that plain carbon steels built this country and many of those knives used in that making are still around. Utica and Case were there making those knives before 1915. I understand many men prefer stainless steel. They want the latest greatest steel, handle materials and newest technology in knives. Nothing wrong with it at all. In my older age I have a shorter tolerance for nonsense and flashiness. I just think a knife or firearm should be made to do it's intended purpose in the most efficient and simplest way available. Everything else is nothing more than a useless waste of time and efforts with no real purpose or useful reasons. All that being said a knife should be made for its intended purpose to cut. Any man that can't or won't maintain his belongings for this conversation his knife, well he's just a lazy man and probably has no business owning a knife in the first place. For me carbon steel is still the "King steel". Sky scraper buildings, Automobiles, Airplanes and all military grade equipment have been using plain carbon steels since time in memorial. 1095 is still the best cutlery steel for "dependable" "durable" knives whether they are fixed blade or pocket knives. If my life is dependent upon the knife I choose then I'm choosing one that's time tested and NONSENSE FREE! My advice to any man is to be competent. Don't be lazy. Take care of your firearms and knives and they'll take care of you.
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing this!!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Knives are great, still the four of these knives you just payed for is about what I receive from the Government for my social security to live on for a month?
$200?
Every buck I have had over 30 years CHIPS. hands down. Not a good knife.
Try the Modern Folders. I agree. I’ve never been impressed with the old Traditional knives if Buck.
I don't know if any of you younger guys remember when the Buck knife logo depicted cutting a steel bolt with a Buck knife and a hammer. The slogan was "we don't recommend using your knife to cut a bolt but it is capable of doing it". A knife is made for cutting. I have broken my fair share of knife tips in my 76 years of being around but it has always been done when I was missing the knife. No matter how good or how cheap it was. There is a reason that they sell hatchets, punches and screwdrivers. Still enjoying your videos Doc, keep up the good work.
I love my USA made Buck 112s, got a pile of em to prove it. I don't buy the 420HC anymore (nothing wrong with it) and get the S30V from the custom shop.
Sending it back to Buck for the lifetime warranty helps mitigate our “miss-steps” with our blades. Has worked well for me, even when the “hickie” was obviously my fault!
I like buck knives solid blades and I can get a good usa made knife for a fair price here in Scotland especially there modern stuff unlike case ect
Bucks are nice 😊 But, I just can't choose one over Case XX 🤔🫡✌🏼👍🏻 The reason you said about Buck not changing for a long time. That's my thoughts as well. I'm your age as you know 1970 born. But, they are coming to be a more favorable choice for sure....😊
