Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

This knife is great for all-around use. The overall design is great, and I really like the rubbery feel of the grip. I had previously owned this knife (in black, at the time they still offered it in that color) but ended up loosing it by mistake in Glacier NP, so when I bought another, I got it in yellow so it's easier to find should I set it down somewhere and forget. The partially serated blade stays sharp forever and was put to the test during my summer job at a boy scout camp. Because of the color and size it got some critisism at first, but those who borrowed it from me were suprised by its great performance. Since it has a shorter, sharper blade and locks when opened AND closed, it's safer for younger scouts, and I've recommended it to many adult leaders. Overall it's a great knife that gets the job done, and that's the important thing.

Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

I go on frequent day hikes in the local area, and in the Sierra. I had been looking for a good light weight knife. The Buck is that. It is much lighter than I expected, but still stays rigid when I use it. The blade holds is edge pretty well, especially for what I paid for the knife.

The grip seems to be sticky, making it not slip as my hand became wet throughout the day. It fits well in the pocket and locks closed well.

If you are seeking a light weight, firm blade, with a good grip, for a very reasonable price, this is the knife for you.

After 6 months the grip is crumbling at the edges. The soft plastic gouges easily and I doubt the longevity of the grip material.

Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

I carry this everyday. Buck knives mean quality to me. It is a little difficult to clean, but with some gun oil and a q-tip, it doesn't take too long. The pocket clip is small but sturdy and doesn't bend out when caught on anything. This is a cheap knife that I put through the ringer everyday!

Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

I bought this knife for my job (construction) and it worked GREAT after 2 years it was still as sharp as when i bought it with minimal sharpening needed. very durable, i broke one but only because it was run over with a cement mixer but stuff happens right and that same day i bought another without hesitation. i would defiantly say hands down this is the best knife i have EVER owned.

Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

I'm an Iraq veteran and I lose stuff, so I have been through a lot of knives over the past few years. I LOVE this knife. The blade is super sharp and has stayed that way I do use it backpacking for a number of things. I haven't lost it yet but at [$], I'd replace it with the same knife. I highly recommend as a good, all around outdoors knife.

Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

To start off its a solid knife, as all bucks are. Not a regret but other than the novelty value it doesn't seem to be amazing.

Pros.
It has a comfortable handle that makes using it feel like less of a chore. The locking mechanism is dependable and once you get the hang of it can be kind of fun. The blade comes sharp enough and the bottle opener serves to be useful.

Cons.
The handle, while comfortable gets dirty easy and is hard to clean, which tends to make it slippery if it gets greasy. The locking mechanism can be annoying to engage or disengage in a hurry.

I liked the knife but found it to be ill suited for everyday carry ( perhaps its just me) but it does well clipped to my pack for when I need it.

If your looking for a solid knife that you can clip to your climbing pack or rig, here you go. If not, it isnt bad, but it seems to be somewhat of just a novelty for every day cary.

I give it three starts for average, I dont regret it but i wouldnt miss it.

Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

I thought this knife was great until it fell out of my pocket in the bathroom, landed on the button and opened. I tried several ways of clipping it in my pocket, but it still fell out and deployed . When it fell out on a dog walk and opened around my dogs, I stuffed it in a drawer for a while and then finally threw it away!

This is a DANGEROUS knife! Don't buy it!

Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

I bought this knife for my 10-yr old son, as his first knife. He's a scout that will be using it as a camping tool. He loves it! Rubberized handle is perfect for maintaining grip with wet hands. He can open it with one hand. The bottle opener will be great for a lanyard or 'biner connection point to make it more difficult to loose while stomping through the woods. [...]. Lifetime manufactures warranty. I love it so much I wish I'd bought one for me. Only drawback is that it is slightly small for my hand. Excellent job Buck!

Comments about Buck Redpoint Knife:

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.
