    Comments about Buck Smidgen Knife:

    This is one sharp little knife. It is essentially a knife blank, without a grip, sharpened and put in a tough plastic sheath. The hole near the top of the handle matches a nub in the sheath so this knife won't pop out -- you have to give it a really good twist and tug first. It would make a great letter opener and a pretty excellent emergency knife for a survival kit. The attached carabiner is innovative as well -- solid and very beer-bottle-friendly. I wouldn't try to skin a deer with this one, but it could come in handy in a pinch.

      Comments about Buck Smidgen Knife:

      The first thing I felt when I pulled the knife out of its sheath was that the handle had sharp, uncomfortable edges.
      Anyone who has done machining before would have "broken" or beveled the edge of the handle. I would have paid several bucks more for this knife for Buck to have this done at the factory.
      Now I'll have to tape up the cutting edge and tip and bevel the handle edges with a stone or my Dremel tool.
      This initial disappointment with the knife is not a reflection of its performance as I have yet to use it.
      Despite the biting handle, its shape allows the index finger to fit into the handout cutout and the thumb naturally falls onto the serrations on the spine to allow a well-controlled, three-finger grip.
      Recommended with caveats.
