Let's see some Buck mid-lock knives

[Makael]

Don't see these too often . Not rare or anything. Just cool.
Buck 531, 532 and 535

Mak, a handsome bunch of knives. I have a 531/ with a folded sheath, patent pending. A nice dress model to carry. They are thin and light. DM

I’ve only seen pictures of them and never had any in hand. They look nice like they would be pocket friendly. With exception to the c&c 532 most I’ve seen were more than I’d want to pay. If the c&c version had s30v or similar upgrade steel I would probably get one but I might get one just to see what they’re like.

Not all are as cool as Skylers... The model 430 Quest. A recycled name.

Seek and you will find..But that really is a cool Buck folder Skyler! I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like more details about that oversized folder..
Edit: I thought long and hard about what Buck to give my granddaughter's for there first knife. About 2 years ago I found a few engineering samples of the Quest in pastel colors and with no serrations and gave them to both. They were 11 and 12 at the time. They are great little knives!

When my grandkids were born I had a custom shop knife made for each. 112 burlwood for the boy and same in a 501 for the girl.

Middle pic, far left. Cool knife, but the up and down flexing of the lock was horrible. Gave it away. I wish Buck would get this squared away on a lot of their models.

They ever get the blade play squared away on these? I’ve always wanted to try one but have been scared off by reports of poor lock up and lots of play.

 

[Makael]

Yes, Buck retooled the knife. Major improvement
