So I finally broke down and Monday ordered a new knife from SMKW .
It’s the Buck GCK.
I had it overnight shipped so it came yesterday . It’s the tan spear point model.
Out of the box it was sharp very sharp . I haven’t seen a Buck knife from the factory that sharp in a few years. This one shaved the hair off my arm. I had seen several reviews of it in the last year all the guys that did the reviews on YouTube gave it a good review. Saying it could do most camp activities. Even used as a survival knife . It wasn’t a great chopper or that great at batoning. You could see that for your self by looking at it. It’s definitely made for stabbing. All the steel is 5160 high carbon.
Buck also uses the Boss heat treat on it.
The handle on the tan model is Micarta. It fit into my hand nice . I think when I get to use it that it will be very comfortable it’s easy to grip.
I have a Rat 5 and a Ontario SP1 so I won’t probably use the Buck a whole lot at camp . After I see for myself how it dose on some basic outdoor stuff.
Now that I’m fairly sure of the quality of it and how the Buck GCK is designed it’s mostly a combat knife so it will be on my gun belt. As a last resort weapon.
