The folk at Buck were gracious to send us a Buck Short Revolution to use and review.
The passaround thread is here
The Revolution is a jaunty colored little piece. Well put together and light in weight. The model we had is a combo blade. I like the idea of the clip on the end to affix it to a pocket, pack, bag or caribiner for easy access.
The blade flips open and for the life of me I couild NOT get the hang of opening it one handed. I like blades to open one handed and the whole premise of the quick access is for immediate deploy. There are others in the passaround who were able to open it one handed. Tho no too many
The blade was a decent cutter and held up well to the moderate chores that I put it thru. I cut some fabric which is always tuff to slice thru this blade did a nice job of it. along with sharpening sticks, etc.
All in all a nice knife with a great premise for accessibility. It failed me when I couldn't open it one handed tho I may have stubby fingers
