Let's See Them Sprints

[Kyui Su Kim]

Something I feel is a bit underrated from Buck.


The Sprint series is a very modern take on the everyday carry that many overlook. The knife is smooth as butter and looks classy to boot. A great knife regardless of weather you get the zytel variant of the Micarta/Carbon Fiber.

Old pics (it is NOT green and warm out). These are extremely nice knives, and like most Bucks, are a great deal.

Would buy in a heartbeat...if they had reversible clips.

Is the action the same on the 840 as the 841?
I'm assuming the only difference is the blade steel/handle.
And the pivot action is identical......?

I purchased a 293 awhile back and was unimpressed with it's action.
I believe the Sprint to be similar, but manual in deployment....?

I don't own, or have ever handled a Sprint.
I was considering grabbing the 840 to check it out.
If I liked it I know I would want the 841, so I may as well go there first.
There. I just had this whole conversation by myself. (I do that frequently lately)

Thanks for all the help.

yes same on all 84x models. its a ball bearings setup so smooth and fast opener. 293 isn't a ball bearings setup its a washers and assisted setup as ya know.

I find the action to be much smoother, faster, and reliable than the non-ball bearing Vantages if that's any help.

Living alone during this pandemic, I find I'm talking to myself. Unfortunately I've done it so much, I've stopped listening

 

[GPyro]

Thanks Guys!
I was hoping it would be smoother.

As far as the talking to myself, I claim it's so I can have an intelligent conversation.
They usually leave me alone, ha. ....hence I'm by myself again.

Just picked one up the other day to try. Very smooth, I really like it. May pick up the Burlap Micarta version.

I believe layered G10 polished, I think experimental color option.

Always loved that picture of Duane fishing by the cypress trees...

I definitely like the Sprints the action so smooth. The Sprint replaced my Vantage a year ago. The only problem I have with the Sprint is every time I show mine to some one I end up giving it away. This is my 3rd Sprint select, I am sure Buck likes that.

 

[plb]

The Sprint has nice texturing and a really good feel in the hand. And with a super smooth action, what's there not to like!

 

[cupton]

Just ordered the Sprint Ops Pro to go along side my trusty Sprint Micarta. Great deal for a new pro so I’m looking forward to this one!

 

[GPyro]

These things are sweet.
I jumped in on this not having owned or even handled one.
I'll get more of these.
