Buck started making tactical knives during WWII and have continued to push the potential of materials and design to make better functioning tools. Built to serve the needs of those who serve us, this line of heavy duty knives are designed for the most demanding of situations.
The Buck Crosslock changed the knife industry when it was introduced some 20 plus years ago. Every 5 or 10 years, Buck revises it to keep it current and exciting. This version is definitely one-stop shopping for the hunter who wants lightweight quality and function. The award-winning, patented technology of the original Alpha CrossLock was redesigned to offer even more control in wet, slippery conditions.
The spear point blade and saw blade with integrated gut hook create an effective multi-function hunting knife. In addition to the upgraded grip features on the handle, this version includes a sturdier lock mechanism for added durability. Often referred to as the portable butcher shop, the Alpha CrossLock clearly has you covered in the field.
420HC is Buck's standard blade material because it approaches the wear resistance of high carbon alloys while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Add Buck's exclusive heat-treat process and you have a very user-friendly combination of superior corrosion resistance with excellent strength for wear resistance and durability. You also have a blade that is easy to resharpen. For best performance Buck hardens to a Rockwell hardness of 58-60HRC.
Dependability is at the heart of everything that is Buck. Our loyalists expect no-nonsense practicality, and our Avid Level knives define this characteristic. Designed for functionality and crafted from high-quality materials, these knives deliver consistent reliability under rigorous use.
