I was looking at this neat looking little knife online and was wondering
if anyone has one and if so how they like it? Is it a decent little folder?
All I'm buying for the next couple of months is nice, light, summer/shorts
carryable edc's. Thanks.

My daughter has 2 or 3 of them... But has never used one... I like them... They would be a great knife for camping, Hiking or just about anything... They come in 5 different colors... I think... I like the Black and Blue ones and the green nice too... I have the 437 Revolution-XL... It has a 3" blade and closed it is 6 3/4" long.... I like the built in carry chip... I haven't uesd it yet... But I hope too soon... How much is that 752 Short Approach anyway... ITE ...

Here's some pics of a purple 437 Revolution... I will try and post some pics of a 752 Short approach tomorrow... These knives are really nice and lite and feel good in your hand...

Thanks for the pictures. Neat way that it opens up! Yeah I might go for the one
I saw for sale. I just have to talk combined shipping and make it worth while. :)

I have both a long and short approach and think they are my most nimble to use one hand knives. I find the short a little small for my hand but I have big hands. I've had the bigger one for ten or so years, not been very nice to it and it is still as functional as the day I bought it.

I don't like the contracting out Buck does...that is my only complaint about these two; they are the only two knives I own that were not made in the US or Canada. It doesn't bug me that they are made in Taiwan except the for the reason: cheap labour.

The Revolutions were made in the USA, too bad they didn't make the Approach here also.
