Buck Stinger Black Aluminum Carbon Fiber D2 Satin Drop Point Frame Lock Folding Knife (3.00") 0714BKS

The Buck Stinger in black anodized aluminum and carbon fiber keeps everything low-key, from the blacked-out scale to the worn-black steel lockside. A budget everyday carry with a satin D2 drop point on a ball-bearing flipper.

• D2 Drop Point Blade - The drop point wears a satin finish and a swept upper swedge for a fine tip. D2 tool steel holds its working edge through long cutting and resists wear, though it takes more effort to sharpen and wants a wipe-down since it is not fully stainless.
• Black Aluminum and Carbon Fiber Handle - A black anodized aluminum show scale covers a carbon fiber inlay, set against a steel lockside worn to a matching black finish. The all-dark build hides the scratches and scuffs a brighter handle would show.
• Ball-Bearing Flipper - Press the integral flipper tab and the blade rolls open on ball bearings for a smooth throw. The detent sits on the light side, so a quick flick of the wrist helps the blade clear and seat. Nothing gritty in the swing.
• Steel Frame Lock - A steel lockbar drops behind the blade for lockup with no play under a working grip. A run of jimping along the spine gives the thumb a planted rest, keeping cuts controlled when you bear down.

The Buck Stinger

The Buck Stinger is Buck's compact flipper folder, a straightforward everyday carry built around fast one-hand deployment and a layered, steel-framed handle. It aims at the budget end of the market without the flimsy feel that usually comes with it. Buck designed it as a modern counterpoint to the classic lockbacks the family has built in Idaho for generations. It slips into a front pocket and rides tip-up on a deep clip, ready to work through boxes, cordage, and daily cutting.
