Buck 524 Alumni knife 4.8cm

The Buck 524 Alumni is a remarkable small and lightweight knife, ideal for everyday carry. Its compact and convenient size lets you discreetly slip it into your pocket. With a sleek and elegant design, it's highly desirable. The drop point blade features a lockback design that keeps it safely open. Thanks to Buck's advanced Edge2x blade technology, it's incredibly sharp right out of the box. The anodized aluminum handle comes in four eye - catching colors, making it a perfect personalized gift. Specifications include a drop - point blade with a thickness of 0.203cm and a length of 4.8 cm. It weighs just 21.0 g and is designed for pocket carry. Made in the USA, it uses 420HC Steel. This steel combines the wear resistance of high - carbon alloys with the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. After an exclusive heat - treat process, it offers superior corrosion resistance, excellent strength for wear resistance, and durability. It's also easy to resharpen, and we harden it to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58. The drop point blade is full - bellied with a strong, thick point for heavy tasks and can be used as a general work knife. The blade's top drops down towards the tip, reducing the risk of accidental puncturing while skinning, making it strong and versatile.

Using your Buck 524 Alumni knife is a breeze. To open it, simply flick the blade out until it locks in place with the lockback mechanism. For everyday tasks like opening packages or cutting small items, the sharp drop point blade will do the job quickly. When using it for heavier tasks, make sure to apply steady pressure. Always keep your fingers away from the blade's edge to avoid cuts. When you're done using the knife, close it carefully by disengaging the lockback and folding the blade back into the handle. To maintain your knife, clean it with a dry cloth after each use. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. You can occasionally apply a light coat of oil to the blade and the moving parts to keep it working smoothly. If the blade loses its sharpness, use a sharpening stone to restore it. Remember, this knife is made in the USA with high - quality 420HC steel, so with proper care, it will last you a long time.
