Buck Knives 863 Selkirk Fixed Knife With Fire Starter - Micarta

Description

The Buck Knives 863 Selkirk Fixed Knife With Fire Starter - Micarta is a multifunctional survival knife with added features to enhance survival when it matters most. In addition to the 420HC steel blade, the Selkirk features a micarta handle with steel bolsters (the rear bolster can be used as an improvised hammer), and a heavy-duty belt sheath that can be configured for horizontal or vertical carry. Included with the sheath is a fire starter/whistle tool. This blade is full bellied with a strong, thick point for heavier tasks. It can also be used as a general work knife. The top of the blade drops toward the tip, which minimizes accidental puncturing while skinning. The drop point blade is strong and very versatile.

420HC is Buck's standard blade material because it approaches the wear resistance of high carbon alloys while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Add Buck's exclusive heat-treat process, and you have a very user-friendly combination of superior corrosion resistance with excellent strength for wear resistance and durability. You also have a blade that is easy to resharpen. For best performance we harden to a Rockwell hardness of RC 58.
