Carried one of these for years when I worked patrol. It was a damn good blade, and I'd love to find another one. Mine had a smooth blade, no BS blade serrations. As far as "late" lockup, the blade was completely hardened and simply didn't wear at the lock point. The slightly later lockup also allowed harder use of the blade without having to worry about springback on the liner lock causing the blade to fold when used hard. As to the pivot pin, any hardware store sells pliers for 5 bucks that you can use to tighten or loosen it. Oh, and that ugly blade you say is so much better, well, not so much.

Please don't take my review as all negative. It is not a bad knife by any stretch of the imagination, and I imagine it would be a fantastic hunting option, but I rabbit, squirrel, and raccoon hunt exclusively, so it doesn't fulfill my needs. I don't want to trash anyone's favorite knife by any means, it just isn't what I want for Everyday, and that's all I was trying to convey. Keep in mind this review is from a 17 year old "Turkey" That didn't hunt, and is now a 20 year old "Turkey" with different opinions. I'm not the be all end all of knives, but I know what I like, not what anyone else likes

I have had one for many years. As a butchering knife, it has been used to gut and skin many deer and cattle. Blade holds a good edge and I count it as one of my favorites.

I have the non-serrated blade version sans the pocket clasp additionally blade you call a gut hook has a much larger mouth and from what I was told it was for cutting line. I got it from the rescue swimmer on one of the ships I served on. I like it.

I have this knife. I bought it new. Mine is the patent pending model. I thought it was a good knife. I don't see why you are hating on it so much. Mine is in good condition so I've retired it. This knife evolved into the cross lock line of knifes so I would consider this a protype.

I was a Deputy Sheriff in the 70-80's. I had one of these, with it's factory nylon sheath. Mine did not have the serration. Believe it was called the Crosslock Deputy. Great design ... you could roll in your hand to access one blade or the other, & With the pocket clip, you could tell in the dark which blade you were opening. Innovative for the time, as most guys who had big folders used Buck 110's.

I had one of these maybe 30 years ago. If you find one these days you’ll pay up. It was very well made

I bought this knife (single blade, straight edge) new in 1995 or so when I was about 19. I didn't know much about knives then; I just needed a pocket knife and this one looked cool and was on sale. I owned it until it was confiscated by university police in Jerusalem a few years back. Moral of the story is to check your belt before you enter campus, especially if you've just returned from camping and are still groggy from lack of sleep. Live and learn.

Thanks for the review. This is the Deputy model with a seat belt cutter marketed for first responders/EMT's.

simplicity...actually in 2021 a collectable....CERTAINLY NOT a budget knife today! a tool could be made so simply. Yeah, sending back to Buck, is real easy, and worth it. Yes, hard times came, and they went thru a ''period'' of cheapy'ness.

Question: I have a Buck Cross Lock (the “pat. pending” version) with the regular single blade. My only problem is that it doesn’t have a thumb stud. Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement? Thanks in advance.
