Choosing the Right Knife Part 2

Strong blocking system (SLS)

 It is a more recent locking mechanism and can be referred to as "locking belt" by others in the industry. Used in our 830 shooter model, the SLS uses a metal "strap" along the knife's spine as a locking bar. Using a flap to attach to the blade, the strap locking bar fits into the blade locking recess at which point the strap and blade are linearly aligned providing a configuration similar to a fixed blade knife. It has been shown to be one of the strongest blocking mechanisms available. To unhook the blade, simply lift the strap with your thumb and use the other hand to turn the lid closed.

With the help of Opening

 With assisted opening knives, the user initiates the opening of the blade, after which a mechanism completes the opening. In general, the user presses on the part of the sheet, then, once the sheet has moved beyond a retainer, the assisted opening mechanism takes over and the sheet is opened the rest of the way. A safety lock that prevents opening - the user accidental blade uncouples that before the opening sheet, then re-engages after the blade is closed. Assisted by openers are typically one-hand open / one-handed near.

Knives

 Pocket knives are still high on the favorites list - ideal to carry in your pocket for as many times as you might need a blade. The blades are not blocked open, but that is not critical for its utilitarian use. When a non-blocking blade is opened, in general, a spring holds the blade in the open position. Typically, pocket knives are two open / close hands and have nail notches to aid opening.
shovel shapes
 
Another thing to keep in mind when choosing a knife is the shape of the blade. What form works best for your needs? Below are the most common leaf styles.

SWINDLER

 The most suitable for skinning game. The tip is narrow, while the wide curved belly gives a good skinning sweep that helps in getting through thick layers. The point down at an angle, more direct makes it more difficult to take an accidental slice through the skin.

Pen

 This is a smaller version of the larger "spearhead" blade. Feather blades are usually on pocket knives like a hand-held, all-purpose blade.

Face

 A narrow blade with a sharp, angular point, which is designed to be used to cut into narrow places or curved patterns, much as you would with a jigsaw, just without the teeth.

Trim

 The tip of the Crescent makes the thinnest of the blade with a sharper point. This shape provides good control for detail work and cutting in narrow places. It is also very suitable for intentional perforations such as new holes in the belt, etc. While the tip of the blade is effective for detail work, it is not as strong as the thickest points at delivery points and furriers.

Caping

 Almost scalpel-like in shape, it has a soft drop point, with almost a spearhead that is used for the delicate removal of the skin from the face of a trophy animal. The shape makes caping knives perfect choices for birds and small game. Caping knives tend to be thin and very light duty so they are not always a correct choice if you are only going to carry a single knife.
Stretch marks
 
Stretch marks give your Buck blade greater cutting power. Especially useful when the line and / or cable cut

bowel hook

 For great performance when the field dressing game, a bowel or hook aspects is an ideal tool. We have paid special attention to the angles at the edge, shape and sharp size of the entrance opening and the location of the hook of the blade, so that a bowel Buck hook the best.

Types of blades STEELS

 No matter how good the steel blade, there are always compensations. Resistance to corrosion in front of retaining edge. Retaining edge versus sharpening capacity.
 
Take S30V steel. It provides the best in edge retention and tensile strength, but it is harder to re-sharpen and needs proper attention. 17-7PH extreme corrosion resistant steel like salt water, but can not match the edge retention of the hardest steels

13C26 SANDVIK

 It provides great edge retention and hardness for wear resistance and resistance. It is also difficult to re-sharpen yourself, but it is a great choice of steel. For better performance, we harden to an Rc 58-60 standard.
 

420HC steel

 This is material from the standard Buck sheet because it approximates the wear resistance of high carbon alloys, while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Add our exclusive heat treatment process and has a very easy to use combination of corrosion resistance, with excellent strength of wear resistance and durability. It also has a sheet that is easy to sharpen. For a better hardening performance for a Rockwell hardness of 58 Rc.

S30V steel


This advanced steel, S30V, contains carbon, as well as high amounts of chromium, molybdenum and vanadium. This steel combines fantastic edge retention and high ductility combined with corrosion resistance.
 

154CM steel


This steel is ideal for excellent edge retention, high corrosion resistance and for heavy cutting applications.
