BUCK Omni Hunter 12PT

American cutter

Designed and assembled in the USA, the knife looks unusual and aggressive. Mainly due to the design of the handle and blade. The latter is both the main advantage of the model and the main disadvantage, paradoxically. The fact is that it has strongly concave descents with thin convergence. This provides close to perfect cutting performance, but significantly reduces the cutting quality. The blade is good at cutting anything from meat to rubber, even hard materials like wood or soft metals. But they are strictly not recommended to chop - with a high probability the cutting edge will suffer, and severely, up to the chipping of impressive pieces. By the way, you can prick. Drop-point blade shape, i.e. the tip is at the level of the handle and, therefore, coincides with the force application vector during stabbing. Penetrates the blade well and goes deep. Quite suitable for finishing off wounded animals.

Fulltang with bend

The design is reliable - fulltang. This means that the knife is forged from a single piece of metal, and the handle is pressed onto a steel shank. It is difficult to break such a blade, both with vertical and lateral loads. The handle is also worth a look. It is made of rubber with deep finger grooves and anti-slip notches. And the ergonomic curve serves to improve grip comfort and act as a natural stop to prevent slippage.

A little bit of tar

Not the strongest side of the model can be considered a scabbard. They are made of nylon, a dense and durable material. There are no complaints about him. And there is a way to attach the knife and design. Firstly, a regular clip is used, which is easy to touch with a hand, or it can become loose from frequent use, and the blade will simply fall out. Secondly, the waist loop is sewn on the back and is designed for narrow belts, which is not suitable for everyone. And thirdly, the sheath is solid and does not have holes to remove moisture, which means that it will accumulate inside and lead to damage to the blade.

A good knife for hunting and hiking, but given its only cutting specialization, and uncomfortable sheath, the price can be called too high. Although the model looks interesting, well, do not forget about the assembly in the USA.
