Buck 659 Pursuit Pro Folding Knife

Buck 659 Pursuit Pro Folding Knife

The Buck 659 Pursuit Pro Folding Knife combines a highly visible, sure grip handle with Buck’s high end S35VN steel. Buck’s S35VN steel provides the same edge retention as S30V steel but its properties allow it to re-sharpen easier, making it a great choice for skinning multiple animals with the option of field sharpening when necessary.

This knife easily opens with one hand using the thumb-studs.

The blade is secured with a lock back mechanism for safe use. The comfortable, contoured handle reduces hand fatigue while working. This knife is carried with a heavy-duty nylon sheath with a belt loop. The knife measures 5″ (12.7 cm) when closed. This 659 folding Pursuit knife covers all field needs from the beginner to serious hunter.

Lock-back

Buck 659 Pursuit Pro Folding Knife’s Lock-back folding mechanism locks 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. Lock-backs require two hand closing, though some are one hand openers.

S30V Steel

This advanced steel, S30V, contains carbon as well as high amounts of Chromium, Molybdenum and Vanadium. This steel combines fantastic edge retention and high ductility combined with corrosion resistance. Double-tempered – it can be hardened to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 59.5-61.

One-Hand Opening

The Buck 659 Pursuit Pro Folding Knife has a thumb stud, blade hole or other feature to facilitate one-hand use. Some models are one-hand opening and one-hand closing as well.
