I am new to this forum but not new to Buck Knives.
The Buck Whittaker Multi-tool
What can I say:
This is ONE of the best, if not THE BEST multi-tool I have ever used.
My BIGGEST pet peeve is that a lot of multi-tools do not have locking parts. I hate using a knife or screwdriver for example only to have the item slide back and cut me, or having a folding type lock where you have to manipulate the entire tool just to lock something in.
NOT SO with the Buck, everything is individually locked, very easly.
THE BIGGEST feature I like about this knife is the REAL KNIFE, knife blade. With most multi-tools you have to carry an additional real knife to use.
Again, NOT SO with Buck; it has a GOOD sized blade that can really just about everything you might ask of it. I like the serrated addition, would be very helpful if you had to cut your way out of a seat belt or if you had to cut thick rope or paracord. I can't say enough about how great this knife blade is, again, easy one handed opening AND closing as well.
LOVE the screwdrivers, very well planned and lock easily.
The LED is a great feature, especially as a spare lighting source but also to "see" what you are doing if you are in low level lighting condition or in tight places, like under a car doing emergency repairs.
The can opener is also a "one handed" item; can easily be opened AND closed with one hand. The length of the multi-tool is perfect for the can opening feature. At first I thought a larger can opener might be better, but with the feel of the tool for a handle, it is just right.
The weight is GREAT, light but yet it is a good all around knife that can go from home, to yard work, to out door light camping.

GREAT JOB!
This knife as well as a few other "light weight" gear items will appear in the current book project I am working on.
Thank you again!
Addition:
I was a little worried that the pliers would not hold up under hard use.
I had to take down our clothes line since winter is here, it was held up by two 1/2 open eye, LARGE screws I had to put in with a good sized pair of pliers.
They were VERY hard to get out being in there for so long and being driven in over 3/4 of an inch, BUT the pliers held up. I know they won't let me down even in a hard use situation!
