Buck 065 - Buck/Hood Punk ordered

jwh · Jan 19, 2012

Just got the e-mail that the "punk" is in stock and I have one on the way. I know there was an entertaining thread here on the "punk" not long ago. Since I don't call my knives by name usually that part doesn't bother me. I like my hoodlum and this one looks nice as well. I will try and update this when "it" arrives.

I look forward to your update! That knife is on my list of must haves as well. I love my Hoodlum too!

Yes, a great looking knife. I would like to see a review.

Anyone know the blade thickness?

I like the looks of this one, for sure!

I can measure when it arrives. Tracking info shows Thursday at this point. Maybe Wednesday if all goes well. LOL

The catalog says it's .175" so it's a bit less than 3/16" (.1875") but not by much.

If that's true, I'll be buying one for my tough use, do it all, single blade. Good on Buck.

They've always come through (for me), when I've needed a reliable, no non-sense knife. My all time favorite is the 192. Great design for the real world.
