Buck Sprint Classic Pro

Does anyone own one and what are your thoughts? I’m normally a fixed blade person but this one in burlap caught my eye. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have one and I love it. It has fantastic action and it's slim lightweight size makes it disappear in the pocket. I would definitely recommend!

I own a couple of them. good American made flippers. a lot to like. no real downside on them, other than personal preference things.

I don’t have this specific Sprint model, but I do have 5 others, and I love them all. As Pat noted, the action is among the best of all my flippers. Ergos, size and weight make it an excellent EDC.

Absolutely love mine. Probably my best bang for the Buck (no pun intended but there it is) knife as far as enjoyment of ownership goes. I got mine back when they were $115 and I honestly didn't understand why everyone didn't get one, but even at the current price I think it's a steal.

I modified mine a bit to make it my own, and it finds its way into my pocket quite often.

Many thanks! I soaked it in ferric chloride and then stonewashed the blade for an "acid stonewash". For the pivot, I flamed it to achieve that color. Most use a butane torch, but I just did it on my gas stove holding it with a pair of hemostats. Just heat it to the desired color then quench. If you get it good and glowing you can even get some purples and blues in there. I pretty much do it on the hardware of all of my knives just for fun

I am a pretty vocal supporter of the sprint from Boeck as being an unbelievable value for USA made knife with the materials that they’re using being top-notch. However, I did have problems with quite a few having very weak detent. Once adjusted they are phenomenal and some of my favorite knives. The burlap micarta is specifically some of the nicest that I’ve run across and I think that the carbon fiber that they have chosen is spectacular.



Being on bearings just makes the blade fly out. The liner lock is a little thin, however according to Buck hardened to the point of being just as strong as a normal sized.

I love Buck and have wanted to try this knife for a while now, but nobody makes a Lefty clip for it.
