Folding Alpha Hunter with 154cm blade,March 19, 2009
By Buckblaster1from WA
"After recieving a gift card, I did alot of research on characteristics of the different types of blades and read reviews that people have written to find out the hidden agendas of each knife. I found that most high-end custom knives are built with the 154cm steel because of its high quality, durability and extreme edge retention properties. I went to the nearest Cabelas store and handled several knives. I chose Folding Alpha Hunter with 154cm blade for its features, quality and written reputation by owners. This knife is beautiful, rugged and razor sharp right out of the box. Buck guarantees a "Forever Warranty" with free lifetime sharpening. How could you go wrong? I could find nothing to discourage me from owning this knife. I made the right choice and never looked back."

Rubber Buck Alpha folder w/o guthook,August 27, 2008
By Monsterdogfrom PA
"I have owned this knife (rubber handle, no guthook) for a while. Dont know how it would perfom on a hunt (not a hunter), but for everyday carry I have found this to be a very, very nice knife. It opens extremely easy and intuitively, yet is secure when closed. Heavy and thick blade for prying. The knife is heavy and bulky, with amazing build quality, you will never be in doubt about if it will stand up to a job and you will always know its in your pocket. If size/weight scares you, get a spyderco or the Buck Alpha Dorado mini hunter."

Good & Reliable!,May 13, 2008
By CabWorkerfrom Buffalo, MN
"I have the rosewood version and the blade is sound and sure through lots of use. I've touched it up with my diamond hone and it's like new. It's taken on camp chores, cardboard boxes at work, plastic straps, even a bit of wire and still keeps going. Oh yeah, it also still works well for those dressing jobs after a kill.
Fell confident when you lay down your money for this one."

Fantastic hunting knife !,March 1, 2008
By Hambone2
"This knife is hands down my favorite. The quality is top notch, the edge was very sharp out of the box and the gut hook works very well. I field dressed five deer in 2007 with this knife, had no issues at all, and the blade is still sharp. As with all Buck 420HC steel, it is very easy to sharpen when need be. I have not figured how to sharpen the gut hook as it is a very unique grind shape. (still very sharp) Clean up is a snap with hot soapy water and a tooth brush, as goop gets everywhere after field dressing with a folder. All in all my favorite hunting knife! Good job Buck!"

Solid knife with great feel and great blade.,February 20, 2008
By mattrhornfrom Northern CA
"I purchased the Alpha Rosewood Folder with Gut Hook. Fantastic knife with a great edge right out of the box. Easy open and a very solid feel. The gut hook works great. The Rosewood handle is beautiful. It came with a sturdy leather sheath with belt loop. 154CM Edge has yet to need sharpening. Great knife."

Great hunting knife,January 21, 2008
By naturesflyfrom S. Indiana
"I got this knife for a present and all i can say is that the quality, sharpness and design all come together to make a great hunting knife. The gut hook is larger than most of those on the market I have seen, which is a plus. If you want a hunting knife and compactness, this folder with cut hook is the knife for you."

Bought a second one,December 31, 2007
By dhorvathfrom Suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
"I bought one on the advice of the clerk in the Hamburg store (gut hook, rubberized grip) when I was looking for a good hunting knife. I love the guthook -- makes the hard work of avoiding the guts EASY!
Then I lost the knife somewhere in the woods. I rushed to get a new one.
Both knives held a great edge -- both main blade and guthook.

Great knife,November 18, 2007
By Bill48
"In my 43 years of deer hunting I have never used a knife that compares to this one. It is very sharp and the gut hook worked well past my expecations. It opened a deer like a zipper with no worry about nicking a gut. Buck outdid themselves with this knife."

Exellent knife!,July 31, 2007
By Duxkiller
"This knife is absolutley fantastic. I've had mine for a little over a year now and its still going strong. It has a great feel in your hand, has a strong and durable blade that keeps an edge. Its has some weight to it but just the right amount to make a great all around knife. I use it for everything from day to day things to cleaning animals. I would not leave home without it!"
