Buck 863 Selkirk Knife 11.9cm

This amazing multifunctional survival knife is a must - have for any survival situation. The Selkirk comes with a 420HC steel blade that combines the wear - resistance of high - carbon alloys and the corrosion - resistance of chromium stainless steels. Thanks to Buck's exclusive heat - treat process, it offers superior corrosion protection, excellent strength for long - lasting use, and is easy to resharpen, hardened to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58. The knife features a CNC contoured Micarta handle in brown/black with steel bolsters. The rear bolster can serve as an improvised hammer. It comes with a heavy - duty injection - molded nylon belt sheath that can be carried horizontally or vertically. And the sheath includes a handy fire starter/whistle tool. The drop - point blade, with a length of 11.9 cm and weighing 216 g, has a full belly and a thick, strong point for heavy tasks. It's also great as a general work knife. The blade's top drops towards the tip, reducing the risk of accidental punctures during skinning, making it a very versatile blade.

Using the Buck 863 Selkirk Knife is a breeze. For general cutting tasks, hold the knife firmly by the Micarta handle. The drop - point blade is perfect for heavier jobs like chopping small branches or slicing through tough materials. When you need to start a fire, use the fire starter tool that comes with the sheath. The rear bolster can be used as a hammer in a pinch, like when you need to drive in a tent stake. As for the whistle, it can be used to signal for help. When it comes to maintenance, clean the blade with a dry cloth after each use. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. You can sharpen the blade using a regular sharpening stone when it starts to lose its edge. Store the knife in its sheath to protect the blade and keep it safe. And always be careful when handling the knife to avoid any injuries.
