The knife has a stainless steel pocket clip and is designed to be carried blade tip down. The QuickFire blade held an edge as I went about daily chores and after much use re-sharpens very easily. Buck knives steel is made up of alloys combined with chromium steel that is very corrosion resistant. The hardened steel results in a Rockwell Hardness of RC58. The steel in this blade is 420C and is an attractive drop point design. In addition the knife is equipped with right and left hand thumb stud to assist opening.
Press down on the lock and the blade is easily disengaged allowing for a one handed close. The lock holds the blade securely, with no wiggle or blade play. The locking mechanism is along the back of the knife. So many times during the day’s chores I need a knife and I need it quickly to accomplish something and this Buck knife is indeed a QuickFire knife. The end result is easy and fast one handed opening.
According to Buck the reason for the QuickFires’ fast release is found in dual springs used to provide an easy and safe blade release. This assisted-opening knife comes with ASAP Technology®. Other than color one of the first things you notice about this knife is the fast opening capability of the QuickFire. When I am out working for 14 to 16 hours I sometimes come in black and blue from something! The hazards might be due to directing a falling tree closer to the desired direction or convincing one of the animals to slide into the corral but no matter, my blue Buck QuickFire was with me every step of the way. This Buck QuickFire comes in two color options that I can sure relate to… Black or Blue.
