Buck 722 Spitfire Review

Thanks again to my father in law for loaning this knife!

It’s not perfect but it’d be a great user for a fair price considering it’s USA made and backed by a good warranty.

Buck's USA knives deliver. It does amaze me when reviewers knock 420HC steel, even 420 with the BOS heat treatment. No steel is perfect, but Buck has done a great job of optimizing 420 with its BOS heat treat, yielding an affordable, easy to care for, and easy to sharpen steel for its consumer line of knives.

I have a Buck Spitfire 722 with a combination blade that I used every day for about 4 years when I worked in a freight house. You are right, it came very stiff out of the box. I spent quite a while breaking it in and wound up having to loosen that pivot a bit. Once I got it broken in, I loved it! I one hand opened and closed it all day long, using my leg to one hand close it.

If it’s anything like every Buck I’ve owned, I bet there’s also a significant amount of mysterious black “factory grit” in the pivot and/or spring.

I've always liked a good Buck knife. Their knives have great value with cost to use.

I’ve been wanting to get one of these for a long time. Based on the label on the box, the guy that bought it customized it one Bucks website you can get this knife with higher end steels on their site.

I owned one before, loved it. If you are willing you can flatted the edge out near the choil to get rid of the recurve. I did that to mine. Give this one another chance!👍

The Buck Spitfire knife is the preferred EDC knife of The Knife Doctor. So I’m looking at a variety of reviews, considering buying one.

Looks like a good knife at an affordable price made in America. Hard beat that criteria now days. Thanks for the show. 🎁🎄😊

Buck's 420HC is nothing like those cheap 420hc blades. Love it as I can touch it up in the field. Wound up ordering another in s35vn and THAT you won't be touching up in the field but it's fantastic for cutting boxes and shit.... lol

I have this knife in orange. I like it as far as carry and use. However, I don't like the recurve and the difficulty in opening and closing. When I first got the knife it bit me when I was trying to open it because it required so much pull to open. I don't carry it much anymore, but it has a nice home in a car bag. Nice review!

My son bought me one for my birthday a couple years back. It's my daily carry now.

Easy to sharpen, a little soft.

Good review, I like that knife. Thanks

For day-to-day use, 420HC will accomplish is more than capable (especially with Buck’s heat treat). It’s funny that we used carbon steel for centuries with no problems.

I just ordered one of these limited run. Alien gear holsters edition. I'm excited to get it in hands.

[richdoherty]

Ordered a custom one with s35vn blade.

I own the buck spitfire I like how stiff it is. It will get better over time mine has. Good knife plus I paid 63.00 for mine from buck 35 would have been nice but think your a little off there nice review

Hay Project Farm tested several knives with different steels. I was surprised at the results. The Buck steel outperformed several knives with better steel.

The book 722 spitfire is now 50 bucks.

Liked you video. Ordered this knife after watching it. Next time show any adjustments you make on video too.😎

[mcsquirgle]

im thinking of customizing one of these on the buck website. you can get one with bos heat treated s35vn and g10 scales for $90. im sure the aluminum is fine but i would imagine the cerakote or ano finishes on them will wear quickly so im leaning towards od green g10
