The Buck Redpoint is a compact survival pocket knife made for outdoor adventures and everyday carry. With its modest size and reliable construction, it’s the kind of tool you can slip into your kit or pocket for general cutting tasks, bushcraft, or simple camp chores.
This knife features a 7 cm drop-point blade crafted from 420HC stainless steel, offering a good balance of corrosion resistance and edge retention. The plastic handle keeps the overall weight down to 82.2 g, while still providing a secure grip when you’re working around camp. At 18.1 cm in overall length, it strikes a middle ground between portability and usability.
420HC stainless steel is a high-carbon alloy known for taking a sharp edge and resisting rust, making it a solid choice for outdoor use. The blade’s hardness of 58 on the Rockwell C scale means it holds that edge well without becoming so brittle that it chips easily, and it remains straightforward to sharpen in the field.
