Buck 797 Range Ops Elite Black Aluminum Magnacut Black Cerakote Crossbar Lock Reverse Tanto Folding Knife (3.28" Blade) 0797BKS

Built to disappear, the Buck 797 Range Ops Elite in Black aluminum runs black Cerakote over a Magnacut reverse tanto. An ambidextrous crossbar lock holds it open and lets go with one pull from either side.

• Magnacut Reverse Tanto Blade - The reverse tanto puts a reinforced point up front and a straight edge behind it for controlled cuts. Magnacut stands out for pairing real toughness with top-tier rust resistance, and it holds an edge well. A flat grind keeps it slicing clean.
• Ambidextrous Crossbar Lock - A tensioned bar spans the handle and locks the blade open. Pull either lock tab back to release it, then close the knife with one hand. Dual thumb studs open it from either side. Left and right hands run it the exact same way.
• Black Aluminum With Black Cerakote - The aluminum handle carries a black Cerakote finish, a hard ceramic coating that stands up to scuffs. The blade matches in black Cerakote, which keeps glare to a minimum. The all-black pairing looks quiet, mean, and dressed for work.
• Reversible Deep-Carry Clip - The tip-up pocket clip moves to either side of the handle for left or right pocket carry. It rides deep in the pocket and keeps a low profile at the belt line. Pair that with the ambidextrous lock and left-handed carriers lose nothing.

The Buck 797 Range Ops

The American-made 797 Range Ops Elite sits at the top of the Buck Range line, the series that brought a crossbar lock into the Buck lineup. Elite trim is the premium build, pairing Magnacut steel with an aluminum handle. Every control on it works from either side, from the thumb studs to the lock tabs to the clip. The reverse tanto blade carries a reinforced point and a straight edge made for punching into heavy cardboard and slicing through plastic banding.
