I bought this knife not long after they came out and have really enjoyed it. I don’t mind that it has a partially serrated blade because that has helped me with some of my daily cutting task. It came razor sharp out of the box and with a 420HC Stainless steel blade, it is easy to keep a sharp edge on it. It’s light weight weighing in only at 4 4/4 ounces and constructed with a Orange anodized aluminum frame. It has a nice strong pocket clip, tip up only, but for either left or right hand users. It has a lock back system for the blade lock with no side to side play and only a bit of up and down play. (As far as I have noticed with much use – no problems at all.) As far as blade deployment is concerned it is a smooth action. No thumb studs or assisted opening, but a good size thumb whole with easy grip.there is jimping on the top and the bottom of the handle and along the back of the blade at the thumb ramp. Even though it is a slick streamline frame, the jimping provides enough of a grip to keep a hold onto the knife. So after all is said and done would I recommend the Buck Spitfire for an EDC knife? Absolutely. It’s a good looking, well made knife full of the legendary Made in America Buck quality.

In my opinion this is a real nice, practical little EDC knife.It’s a little bit bigger than the Wenger “Esquire”, still a great choice for key-chain carry with a few more everyday use tools. Weighing in at only 1.2 ounces, the Pocket Tool Chest offers a lot of everyday carry options in a small package.
