BUCK Nobleman ROCKS!!

I was at OSH today, and of course I had to look at their knives. As I was looking at the BUCK knives, I noticed one little framelock that caught my eye. It turned out to be a Nobleman.

Blade Length: 2 5/8" (6.7 cm)
Blade Material: 440A Stainless Steel
Coated: Yes
Handle Material: Titanium Coated Stainless Steel
Length Closed: 3 3/4" (9.5 cm)
Locking: Yes
One Hand: Yes
Quantity: Yes
Weight: 2.6 oz. (74 g)

For $25, I had to say yes. SHARP!!!!!!!! One of the sharpest blades I've ever gotten out of the box. Yes, it's made in China, and allthough I do love my USA knives, where they're made, isn't a necessity. I've never used my knives to cut food(I baby ALL of mine), but I decided it'd be time to actually use one for food. Cut through the tri-tip LIKE BUTTER! Love this thing. 15 passes on each side of my DIA-SHARP and 20 passes on my strop per side, and NOW IT'S EVEN SHARPER!! Tip up only, but no biggie. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome-GOOD JOB BUCK!!!:thumbup:

I picked up one on Ebay for one of my crew. I liked it so well that I bought myself a couple of the Titanium coated ones. Slick little knives and if the word "China" wasn't on the tang, who could tell?

The Buck catalog says it a "carbon fiber graphic with a rubberized left handle".

Plum,

Hows the grip feel on the SS-I just bought 1 for $17 (seemed like a good price-shipping included) and waiting on delivery. Hope its not too slippy-contemplated the titanium model but didnt want coating on the blade and not the biggest CF lover in the world.
