Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

I bought this knife to put on my climbing rack to cut old webbing from anchors and the occasional 7 mm cord. Great knife for the price. You shouldn't expect really high quality for this price. It just does the job. I wouldn't want to hang an expensive knife off my rack anyway. I put the knife in my pocket and hurled myself to the kitchen floor 5 times. It didn't open. It passed. Did I mention is does a really good job at opening non-twist off beer bottles?

    Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

    I bought 10 of these knives. 1 for me and the rest for the fathers and groomsmen. I have to give this knife high praise for innovation. Too many knives are the same old same old.
    This knife has a unique opening feature and locking mechanism as well as a bottle opener. You get these two new features at a price that is reasonable for the size of the knife.
    Maybe the quality lacks but so far the knife has worked just fine, especially for the price. Comparably priced knives are usually half the size, so with a combination of innovation and price this knife is well worth it, although I probably wouldn't keep dropping it on the floor until it breaks.
    Good knife at a good price.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

    This knife has a great blade with surprisingly deep serrations which work well for cutting rope and webbing. The bottle opener is easy to use, the handle is supper grippy and the locking mechanism is unique, lockign the blade open and closed. I guess if you're an idiot and drop it on the kitchen floor FIVE TIMES it may not function as well as expected.

    I have two critiques: 1. the handle is such sticky rubber that it is difficult to easily slide in and out of a pocket; 2. the clip catches and bends out of shape easily requiring you to remove it and bend it back into shape.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

    This knife is great for the price. I cant afford Bucks assisted opening blades but this is just as good. The blade and serrations are super sharp. The bottle opener works but isn't the best. Even though these knives are made in China they're still better than any Gerber I've ever used.

      Great knife for the price. Super easy to open for righties. May be difficult for lefties. I'd say this knife is definitely best suited for camping and backpacking. The grip is awesome and it feels great in your hand.

      Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

      I bought this knife for camping, canoing, and everyday use. The knife still works great and, as a Buck, keeps it's edge for a long time. However, the blue handle looks really cool when you buy it and then turns nasty after a few months. I keep this knife in my pocket pretty much all of the time. After about a month it started to turn from the bright blue to a dull, browned look. Now it is all a nasty brownish green color. The blue handle is also flaking off now. I will be returning this knife to REI soon to exchange for another knife. I like Bucks, but the handle quality on this knife is terrible. Pass this one up for another knife if you want one that will look good for a long time.

        Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

        I enjoy using this knife, it is very durable and useful around the house. The major complaint I have is that the opening on the bottle opener is too large. It usually takes me 2-3 tries to open a bottle. I do like the ability to open it with one hand, although the mechanism is a bit larger than I would like. Overall, I like the knife and use it on a daily basis.

        Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

        This is a very well made knife with features that you will not find in others. I like the rubber grip becasue you can keep a sure grip on it when your hands are wet. Unlike the metal handled knives of the same size, I find that they become very unsafe when my hands are wet or have food on them. Good value for the money if you are looking for an all-purpose blade.
