Well and anything that has “Seal” automatically means, once you purchase it, the buyer will also become a Navy Seal. They will also become expert marksman, have served in Panama, Bosnia, Gulf Wars, GWOT, and stared in Act of Valor. So, yeah….LMAO lots of cash 🤣
$560... $900??? Imports with 7cr steel?? Are you kidding me Buck? I was hoping for something more in the avenue of affordable and American made. Bummed that this is their offering this year.
I was hoping for no imports this year.... and all American made... lot's of expensive American made limited stuff... nothing super exciting upon comparison to other companies... makes me a bit sad.
It's entirely possible they pay SEALs a hell of a lot better than they pay marine corps infantrymen but when I was in the thought of a $900 knife was laughable
Buckmaster 2.0 is taking mall ninja to the next level. I don’t think anyone thought the original Buckmaster 184 was a dive knife. Buck trying to baffle us with bull 💩. $900 for that? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Buck needs to redo the back springs on all there slip joints. They don’t have as good of walk and talk because the springs are too thin. Look at Uncle Henry or Old Timer.
I like some buck knives. Mostly the 110, 112, 55, and noblemen. I think Buck could dominate the knife industry by moving away from the crazy buckmaster and towards that titanium 112. Premium steel and ti handles. Don’t change one measurement on the 112 please!
Alpha series are nice but I prefer the old Bucklite large/small series which is no longer made. I removed the rubber handles and replaced with hardwood. Works amazingly well.
I could carry the double edge in my state. I think Buck screwed up on the decision to not sell to civilians. Maybe it’s because military/police deserve the tools they need to defend themselves and others. Surely no civilian would ever need to do that.
I'm planning on getting a buck pursuit to replace my Gerber strong-arm (I don't like how the handle gets sticky when I'm outside in the hot central FL sun)..have you guys done a review of the pursuit and pursuit pro?
Just received my Buck 664 Alpha Hunter Elite in magnacut, G10 scales and kydex sheath (with Tek-Lok). Here's a quick review: Generally, a very, very nice knife - which it ought to be for $389 Cdn (taxes and shipping included). Factory edge is very sharp, and the fit and finish is as it ought to be for this price. The balance is quite good fore-and-aft with the balance point being just behind the centre of the deep finger choil. Generally quite comfortable in the hand, with multiple holding position options and options to choke up on the blade for finer/technical cutting. The deep finger choil on it is absolutely excellent by virtue of its depth, and the resulting proection and grip that if offers, and that design feature alone helps make this knife very good. The G10 scales are nice, and relatively grippy (far better than the Benchmade Hidden Canyon upscale version in S90V that I compared it with), but I'd still prefer an even grippier surface on these scales given that by design, the knife will be deep in the chest cavities of big game and becoming slick with blood and therefore more slippery than it would be just from rain water, by comparison. The bottom edges of the G10 scales (along the belly of the tang) are very sharp-edged along the length of the scales - while that may well help with overall grip and help prevent the knife from "rolling" in the hand with torsional forces, I can't help thinking it may end up digging into the hand and cause blisters or ar least, abrasion from extended use while field dressing a large animal. Instead, I'd have preferred the main checkering on the scales to be a bit rougher in order to provide that grip rather than those sharp edges. The spine could be use to strike a ferro rod in an emergency, so that's a plus. I'd have preferred the main deep choil to have jimping within it as well (e.g. like the Spyderco folders near the finger hole, or like the Civivi Baby Banter folder), for extra grip. The jimping on the spine (near the business end of the scales) is, oddly, noticeably wider (fore-and-aft) and less grippy than the jimping further along the spine toward the point. Not sure why Buck would do this, as the spine jimping nearest/within the handle scales does relatively little to enhance grip. The jimping closer to the point is a fair amount better because it's narrower, but I've still experienced much grippier jimping on other knives that I own. Lastly, the kydex sheath, while being reasonable in quality, doesn't quite retain the knife as strongly as it should to largely safeguard against loss. I am thinking I may have to carry the knife vertically on my belt rather than my preferred horizontal carry at my side, just to reduce the chances of it being lost in the field. So, overall, very good and nice knice, but with a few points worth considering. In my opinion, the two biggest design deficiencies are the rather lacklustre jimping on the spine and none in the finger choil, and the less-than-perfect knife retention in the sheath (the latter being a real bugaboo to me).
To be fair BUCK 420, is not the same as other people's 420....it's always been a top performer in my collection, I have buck 420 knives that stay in the garage as well. I like their S45vn, and D2 as well. But, I see why they stuck with the old stand by
Back in the 60's Buck shipped 440c knives with cards explaining that softer, more high chrome steel (like 420hc) wasn't used because it doesn't perform adequately. 420hc like its Asian equivalents has a place for extreme corrosion resistance for salt water environments as well as rarely used reliability with good chipping resistance at low prices,, but broadly speaking of performance for a well used tool, I do side with CJ's ancestors.
Unfortunately, like Gerber, they are cheating towards Chinese Cr7 for the budget stuff to sell at Walmart. They need to stay away from the cheap Chinese junk steel. Stay USA made and up the quality even at the cost of quantity produced. Stay away from the Gerber model. Gerber = crap these days.
I really like the feel of the paklite. I think they would make great boot knifes which is why I bought two. If I can ever get my redwings broke it think I will make a sheave for them. I know the young love the plastic. I just don't like it has much as leather or canvas...
As long as Buck, a once proud AMERICAN Company, continues to build and sell ANY of their knives with 5Cr, 7Cr, 8Cr, 9Cr, 10Cr, (or even 10,000,000Cr, should it ever exist) I will not buy anything from Buck, and all of my personal Bucks (going all the way back to a 106 axe I got as a Cub Scout in the early 70's) will be retired to a box in my pole barn mourning the death of a declining American knifemaker. Haven't we suffered enough with Schrade, Old Timer, and Uncle Henry?
This company just lost any chance id ever buy anything from them. $900 dollars for shitty steel and not even being able to get a double edged hunk of shit because I am a subject and not a zogbot??? Think fuck you with a B instead of the F
Honestly Buck needs to catch up their lineup isn't anything to look forward to anymore considering how many heavy hitters are around now. Heritage and reputation can only get you so far!
BUCKMASTER 2.0! But you're killing me with the whole, "no double edge for normal consumers," CJ.
Have you seen the price though on it ? 420 for $800.
@@chrisreuther4546 No! I didn't realize. Jeez, that's outrageous.
Yea dude I threw up my arms like WTF and its 420? Does this guy not know that D/E is legal in many states?
Liking that Buck Magnacut with kydex!
That guy from Buck is very comfortable in his presentation and genuinely funny.
Way to go Buck!!! Looking forward to all those in 2024. Show some more love to the 112 please!
Buck is so close with that last model.
Happy to see them accept the modern times while also holding onto their heritage.
I don’t get the not for civilian purchase thing. I own several double edge knives. If buck doesn’t want my money I’ll give it another manufacturer
😂 stop crying about a knife you have 0 use for..... You sound stupid
Lee and George are match made in heaven.
$900 for a Buckmaster with 420HC, kydex sheath and G10? Are you kidding me Buck? Seriously, what the hell.
It's limited edition so the Buck Fanboys are going to gobble them up regardless. Everyone wins.
Well and anything that has “Seal” automatically means, once you purchase it, the buyer will also become a Navy Seal. They will also become expert marksman, have served in Panama, Bosnia, Gulf Wars, GWOT, and stared in Act of Valor. So, yeah….LMAO lots of cash 🤣
Just wait by 2030 it will cost a grand. Cause the USA spends money as quick as it comes off the press.
Did he just say msrp $560 ? What is buck smoking
$560... $900??? Imports with 7cr steel?? Are you kidding me Buck? I was hoping for something more in the avenue of affordable and American made. Bummed that this is their offering this year.
Why no double edge for civilians? That's bs.
Major fudd decision
That may have been a term of their contract with the military. Were you really going to pay $900 for a double-edged one?
Yeah I literally said fuck you at rhe screen when he said that
@davidgarrett5671 what else am I supposed to use my worthless fiat on
All responses covered
Buck is hitting it outta the park!
Buck has outdone themselves.
Pass 9n Buck, Civivi and WE can take my money.
I was hoping for no imports this year.... and all American made... lot's of expensive American made limited stuff... nothing super exciting upon comparison to other companies... makes me a bit sad.
Damn! I didnt realize that buck knives were so expensive $900, $500+
Just bought a 110 because they started useing ebony again, damn i love it.
It's entirely possible they pay SEALs a hell of a lot better than they pay marine corps infantrymen but when I was in the thought of a $900 knife was laughable
I need that magnacut scout !!!
they’re now available on the Buck website.

hate to see 7cr on those last ones, but the buckmaster 2.0 is sweet! I was hoping they would be dropping more usa made knives under 100.
Buck always coming up with new and innovative knives!
I like some buck knives. Mostly the 110, 112, 55, and noblemen. I think Buck could dominate the knife industry by moving away from the crazy buckmaster and towards that titanium 112. Premium steel and ti handles. Don’t change one measurement on the 112 please!
I like the new lineup. I’m going to need a banker and a good lawyer.😂😊
Buck almost getting with the program
Alpha series are nice but I prefer the old Bucklite large/small series which is no longer made. I removed the rubber handles and replaced with hardwood. Works amazingly well.
They are still being made. The 684 is in current production.
I love everything Buck
I like buck knives..made in usa. Just a suggestion can buck knives make a flat grind 5 inch blade for kitchen hybrid camp knife..440 c..
He doesn’t seem too impressed
I could carry the double edge in my state. I think Buck screwed up on the decision to not sell to civilians. Maybe it’s because military/police deserve the tools they need to defend themselves and others. Surely no civilian would ever need to do that.

Double edge for the military, not the consumer....
Looks like I'll buy anyone else but Buck
Yep I like my double edge knifes 😊
Hallow all of the way for the 110 and 112
4:03 ⚓️ 🔪 😂
Just wish I could afford a trip up there
I love buck all day!!!
420 and 7cr?

You can get hand made high quality mid range swords for the price of these knives. LK Chen legit have $400-500 swords…
560 for that. Geese bucks and Keyshaw got some super expensive shit
I love you Buck But 420HC for 800! Out of your mind!
Please sign me up for the 839 mini
I 😍 buck
Shoot, I’ll edc the 664
I love ya Buck , but thats a few to many.
How about 898 series with Magnacut?
Absolutely!
keep em coming big boy
I don't know what part of San Diego he was in but I never found ice cold water in San Diego except out of a dispenser
Considering he specifically mentioned the navy Seals training then obviously he was talking about Coronado…
$560 for a knife. People must be crazy. You can buy a modern firearm for that.
I'm old. I'll stick with my 105.
Do another Mayo collab!!!
Please don't move away from 420! Or hollows for that matter...
Buck is finally starting to step away from their 420 HC enough to discover new steels. They should have done this a long time ago.

Buck Where is the bar locks???
$64 for a 7cr knife is ridiculous
Really dropped the ball with trying to show the paklite. Didn't really show it!
I really like the feel of the paklite. I think they would make great boot knifes which is why I bought two. If I can ever get my redwings broke it think I will make a sheave for them. I know the young love the plastic. I just don't like it has much as leather or canvas...
7cr... Really! And for $65…
$445 for that knife. Get real.....
They’re just selling the name at this point.
For real. Someone's not in touch with reality. I'm guessing that all his friends have more money than sense as well. Js
As long as Buck, a once proud AMERICAN Company, continues to build and sell ANY of their knives with 5Cr, 7Cr, 8Cr, 9Cr, 10Cr, (or even 10,000,000Cr, should it ever exist) I will not buy anything from Buck, and all of my personal Bucks (going all the way back to a 106 axe I got as a Cub Scout in the early 70's) will be retired to a box in my pole barn mourning the death of a declining American knifemaker.

Every day we stray further from the light! Buck making knives no one ask for
it seems we both have autism, haven't we?
Guys there’s a fake blade hq account asking for account information lmao don’t fall for it
Buck is now producing high end knives that aren’t worth the price or low end gas station knives
This can be this guys intervention
In my opinion, Buck is just one cjrb pyrite or Kershaw iridium away from being a real player in the budget space. Would love to see them get there
Not to be that person but hallow?
Hollow grind means concave in shape towards the edge. A lot of Buck knives are ground this way
7cr? Cmon buck. That stuff is trash
Og buckmaster was hot garbage’ and this new one looks like shit also
This company just lost any chance id ever buy anything from them. $900 dollars for shitty steel and not even being able to get a double edged hunk of shit because I am a subject and not a zogbot??? Think fuck you with a B instead of the F
Lay off the soy products man.
Honestly Buck needs to catch up their lineup isn't anything to look forward to anymore considering how many heavy hitters are around now. Heritage and reputation can only get you so far!
I agree
You must be new to knives. This lineup is very diverse and completely new for a company like Buck. Maybe you didn't watch the whole video?
@@BornIn1500 Lets keep it real. Buck is way behind in their folders.
Real knife people don't buy Buck knives anymore and haven't for a very long time👍
A brand that I'd never, ever buy.
I just want the bantam back in Kryptek
