Buck 863 Selkirk Knife 12cm

Excellent strength for wear resistance and durability

The Buck 863 Selkirk Knife is a multifunctional survival knife with added features to enhance survival when it matters most. In addition to the 420HC steel blade, the Selkirk features a micarta handle with steel bolsters (rear bolster can be used as improvised hammer), and a heavy duty belt sheath that can be configured for horizontal or vertical carry. Included with the sheath is a fire starter/whistle tool.

420HC Steel Blade
This is Buck's standard blade material because it approaches the wear resistance of high carbon alloys while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Add the exclusive heat-treat process and you have a very user-friendly combination of superior corrosion resistance with excellent strength for wear resistance and durability. You also have a blade that is easy to resharpen. For best performance the Buck 863 Selkirk Knife's blade has been hardened to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58.

Drop Point
The Buck 863 Selkirk Knife is full bellied with a strong, thick point for heavier tasks. It can also be used as a general work knife. The top of the blade drops down toward the tip, which minimises accidental puncturing while skinning. The drop point blade is strong and very versatile.
