Review: The Venerable Buck 55 (Little Brother of the Buck 110) - Great EDC Knife - After having just purchased the 50th Anniversary edition of the Buck 11o folding hunting knife, I had to have this smaller version of that knife for everyday carry. Let me start by saying I am not a knife collector, I don't keep knives in a box, but I do purchase a lot of knives. To me, every true red blooded American should own this knife, or any man for that matter. This knife is the little brother of an American classic and it is every bit as functional and beautiful as the Buck 110, both of which are made in America! After holding the Buck 110 in my hands and seeing how beautiful the craftsmanship was, I wanted more. I wanted a knife like that that was small enough for me to carry with me everywhere. Enter the Buck 55. This knife is almost an exact miniature version of the 110. The Knife I received was shaving sharp right out of the box, literally (I have the bald spot on the back of my hand to prove it). There was absolutely zero side to side blade wiggle (a good test of any quality knife), and the blade is gorgeous. This knife is made out of the same 440HC steel used on the Buck 110. This is a special 440 High Carbon steel I believe only used by Buck and it is very well known for holding an edge exceptionally well. Carry... I like to have a knife on me at all times, and I had been wanting to get a new EDC carry knife for quite some time. I don't think I'll be saying those words ever again for the rest of my knife. This knife will be in my pocket until the day I die, and even then I am sure it will still be in excellent working condition and be handed down to my daughter. The Buck 55 fits perfectly in the 5th pocket in a pair of jeans which is really nice. My previous EDC knife was a CRKT Kasper (CRKT makes some great knives at great reasonable prices) and I had carried that knife for over 5 years. I work in an office environment and don't like having a large knife sticking out of my pocket but always want a good knife on me at all times. This knife is perfect if that sounds similar to you. It's unassuming so as fine to use in an office but 100% up to serious cutting tasks. If not abused, this is a knife that lasts a lifetime and will look good doing it. If you are on the fence about this knife, I highly recommend buying it now. It is worth every penny and you will not be disappointed. You can't beat Bucks 4Ever warranty either. I am nostalgic man and already think about how cool it is that this knife will get handed down to my family when I am no longer around, as I know this knife will surely outlast me.
Review: Brilliant knife, pricey compared to the 110. Warning: might get walnut instead of 2020 ebony. - I bought this based off of the description saying it would be the 2020 model, which comes in ebony as opposed to the older walnut. What I got was the older model in walnut. It wasn't what I ordered and expected, so I returned it and found the correct 2020 ebony locally. I don't think this is a matter of deception but that the description here has been updated for 2020 while e-tailers are still selling through older stock. Both have a stamp showing a 2019 manufacture date, but one was for the 2019 line, the other for 2020. They need to create a new listing for the older ones in walnut. I'll upload pictures of both for reference, the difference is clear. Otherwise this is a BRILLIANT little knife. Perfect size for your change pocket. Light, but a nice feel in hand for something this size. Sharp as I would ever expect from a knife of this nature to come. It isn't finely polished but looks nice. If I were to nitpick, I would say that compared to my old 110, the blade grind isn't as fine and that stands out. It doesn't appear to affect the function of the blade edge, so it's fine. The flat of the blade isn't very polished, in fact, looks fairly "pocket worn" like it's been carried a while. It actually looks good, I'm not complaining. There are NO gaps anywhere to be seen, the blade is centered, the brass to wood joining is absolutely smooth, no blade wiggle...this is a very tight knife. I'm impressed. The spring is maybe a little soft, but opening ends in a very satisfying snap into locked position. I'd compare it to my SOG Blink in low profile width/weight, even if that's where similarities end. This is a better size and I prefer a clip style blade as well as classic look. Many newer style knives have blades that are just too large for their general daily purpose and seem disproportionate. We're not splitting logs here. The 55 is classic metal and wood, the way a knife should be and the right size. I really like this knife. I give the 55 5 stars in everything except value for money, just to make a point. In a world where you can easily find the venerable 110 for $45, the knife this one claims to be half of, it makes no sense to pay MORE for this. At this price it should have a blade in 5160 carbon steel or the S30V some Bucks have now. That said, I'm very happy with this knife. It would be nice for the 301 stockman to get treated as well as the 55, to get better springs and the ebony, so I have a reason to rebuy that one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am not a skilled knife sharpener.  What's your favorite "easy" sharpening tool?**
A: This is by far the easiest, and it's also very inexpensive and portable.  Impossible to make a mistake with something like this--just pull the knife through a few times.  There are obviously better ways of sharpening (stones, strops, etc), but this a great way to get the job done fast.http://www.amazon.com/Smiths-PP1-Pocket-Multifunction-Sharpener/dp/B000O8OTNC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1416348764&sr=8-4&keywords=knife+sharpener

**Q: what is the lenght od the knife**
A: Closed it is 3 3/8 inches.   The blade itself is 2 3/8 inches.   This is the smaller of the series.   There is also a Buck 112 that is slightly smaller than its big brother, the 110.

**Q: Is this made in USA now.**
A: Buck website says yes and the box it came in said Made in USA.  Some of their lower end fixed blades are made in China, but I think all their folders are still made here.

**Q: Is coming with brown holster?**
A: My came without any holster?  the bigger buck knives (110, 119, 113, 112) usually come with holster, but all on little ones have not.
