Serrations (Serrated vs. Non-Serrated) On many blades, serrations have been added to give your Buck knife even greater cutting power. |
|
|
|
Serrated - Serrations, which might be considered a "semi-saw," provide a more aggressive cutting action, especially useful when cutting wet line, cord or cable. These blades have gained popularity, with the choice largely based on use of the knife. The serrations also retain their ability to cut longer than a standard edge. |

Non-Serrated - These blades have a greater initial sharpness. For a clean, precision cut, a non-serrated blade is usually the first choice. |

|
Partially Serrated - Many blades are now offered partially serrated, providing the benefits of both cutting actions. |

Gutting /
Skinning Hook This is a special feature on the top of some of our Hunting knife blades (opposite the cutting edge on the bottom of the blade) for great performance with field dressing game. We have paid careful attention to the angles on the sharpened edge, shape and size of the entry opening, and location of the hook on the blade to make the Buck gut hook the best. |
