Description
A Buck classic, the Duke is a hefty pocket knife designed for heavy duty tasks. Designed with a 3″ blade, Rosewood Dymondwood handle and stainless steel bolsters, this knife is the right size to carry in your pocket but provides just enough bulk to take care of business. The lockback design ensures safe use.
Lockback folding knives have a mechanism that lock the blade in the open position, activated by opening the blade all the way. A lock back gets its name from a rocker (rocking lock bar) partially visible on top of the knife. Opening the blade causes the rocker to lock against the blade so it locks open. Pushing down on the rocker on top of the handle releases it
and enables the user to close the blade. Lockbacks require two hand closing, though some are one hand openers.
We are known for our blades. Buck Knives is a market leader in edge retention thanks to our steel selections and heat treat process pioneered by industry famous, Paul Bos, whose heat treating system has proven to be the best in the business. Each blade is put through a rigorous heat treat process and quality performance test. It is then tempered to the appropriate Rockwell Hardness through a heating.
