The Buck Knives Selkirk (budget fixed blade)

This is it guys, that fixed blade that will fit into your EDC without breaking the bank. From processing your hunt to camp knife Buck has your back with the Selkirk.

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

the point of a survival whistle is, 1) it can be heard much further than your voice, yelling and 2) it does not cause strain on your vocal cords, so you can use it much longer than you can effectively holler. the internationally recognized alarm for someone in need is to blow three short whistles, in 3 seconds, pause for 5 seconds, and repeat as long as required. search and rescue will respond with 1 whistle, to tell you they are near, this does not meant stop, they will use your whistles to locate you. everyone should have a whistle on them at all times. sometime, as a test, try putting yourself in a position that make4s it hard to breath deep. have someone be 100 feet away, and try hollering "help" , then blow the whistle three times, and see which one they can hear better. I also feel that everyone should carry a fixed blade knife any time they are going into the woods. they have a lot more capability than even a really tough folder if you find yourself in an unintentional over night camping situation. a 4-6" blade, full tang knife is a critical piece of emergency gear.

Thank you for the sub brother. Please tell me your thoughts on the video/content. On my way to your channel to sub and check out your vids.

[@timtitus2532]

I own this knife, I've carried it a couple of times on hiking trips. It's a good sharp knife. 420HC steel is fairly tough and holds an edge for a minute. Like the blade shape and the handle is comfortable. Good review video. Thanks

[@cincinnatus007]

Bro, thanks for commenting and for watching at all. I'm new to this so I want all the input I can get. Tell me about your EDC and what you carry. Are you new to the hobby?

[@timtitus2532]

I'm not new to the hobby. If that's what you want to call it, it's more like a mild obsession. I've been collecting for about 50 years, and I don't have a bunch of money to throw at it, so most of my collection is in the sub hundred dollar range. I've been down sizing what I have, giving it to my kids. Today, I'm carrying my Manix 2XL in CRUWEAR and my Paramilitary 2 in S45VN. There's not much room left in the pocket for the rest of my EDC stuff. I liked your video, I've been drooling over the Padre for a year, a sweet knife, and a great blade steel. Have a great day, and thanks for the content.

[@mplsatty]

Just found your channel, & thank you for reviewing the Selkirk fixed blade. My hands are also larger, and from the way it fit in your hand, I just don't think I'd like the length of the handle. (A handle that's too small on an otherwise nice knife, especially on fixed blade knives, is one of my pet peeves, because there's nothing you can do about it.) Seeing your video helps me put to rest the urge to buy this knife once & for all -- thanks for saving me some money! Great to find this channel!

[@cincinnatus007]

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and sharing your perspective. Are you sure you won't give it a try? I think it still has comfy ergonomics.

[@Eliel7230]

Great review! I agree with you on quality and why I would collect a well made product.

[@MacSharps73]

Love my Selkirk. Yes…I batoned some 3-4” diameter white birch with it. All I had to do was tighten one screw in the grip later. It takes a great edge and holds it pretty well. One of my “not trading it away” blades.

[@cincinnatus007]

[@MacSharps73]

@@cincinnatus007 and before anyone gives me flak, not saying you will or did, I typically DON’T baton with my knives. But this one said “try me” and I did out of curiosity. I wanted to Womp on it a bit before carrying it all the time. Especially being a Scoutmaster and knowing what my Scouts could possibly wreak upon it. Several of them got the mini version after I demonstrated it to them. I can achieve 10-12 curl shavings with it on birch branches. They can too now.

[@bikeman9419]

Put a drop of Loctite 242 on the screws, problem solved

@@bikeman9419 that’s exactly what I did. I’m very satisfied with the knife. It’s now in my daypack with my original Leatherman Super Tool.

[@richardhenry1969]

Very nice video. I would recommend trying the BPS adventurer and the two other knives i use are coldsteel SRK-C the 3v version is around $89 at midway. The last knife is coldsteel mini pendleton hunter. I use the aus10 version it is the best bird and trout knife ive ever found. The BPS adventurer is amazing the steel is 1066 which is German spring steel comparable to 5160. Sharpest knife ive ever bought. That list is the knives i use the most -my mora Garberg (because you commented you weren't a mora fan) That folder was very nice i really like that. I generally carry a tri-ad lock knife. I love lockbacks. Hope you have a chance to try anyone of them you won't be disappointed. The SRK-C is like $35 for the sk5 version so they all are budget knives. Under $45.

The little post, in the belt loop can be removed, for very wide belts, or moved to another hole, for narrower belts. Also, for narrower belts, it can be used to adjust how high or low the knife sits on the belt, by putting it above or below the belt. 😁✌🖖

[@billhaynes8646]

And.. the small notch at the base of the blade was made for the ferro rod. Watch the video done by the designer.. dont have to take my word on it... 😅 Works well

[@timasuna1756]

It's because of the uneven heat-treat, when you use the top spine it damages the steel. I had to flatten the edges out again. Love the design, but china had poor heat-treat for blades at the time, a company called RealSteel is doing better heat treats. This is a budget Chinese manufacturer, finally making decent steel.
