I have been carrying this knife in my pocket daily for over 20 yrs. So small you don't even notice it, yet up to almost any daily cutting job - I prefer the smaller version to the slightly larger model, which my brother in law carries. I now own 2 - I thought my first one was lost, until I noticed my stepmother at our summer cabin had 1 identical to the one I thought was lost. I asked where she got it, and she said it was on the table so she put it in her purse! So after 3 yrs. it came back to me ! Of course, I had immediately ordered a replacement when it disappeared - it's that good ...

Don't expect to sharpen it using a electric sharpener designed for kitchen knives - it's too small. Instead invest in a good whetstone - mine has 2 stones - 1 hard, and 1 softer for rough work. Once it's sharp ( and it comes sharp ! ) the blade will hold the edge for a long time - once or twice a year sharpening is fine if all you do is open boxes, and light duty.

I carry a separate mini multi-tool on my key chain for a bottle opener, and screwdriver, but I never use the knife - always the Buck for cutting.

As long as you don't lose it, this knife will last a lifetime, and it's so small you'll always have it on you.

Buck Knives are legendary for holding an edge and for being the best knives that money can buy. Period! And no family of Buck Knives exemplifies these attributes more than the 300 Series. Tough. No nonsense. Practical. Top to bottom!

Enter the smallest member of the family, the Lancer. I admit, I was skeptical about this one. Bigger brothers, the Stockman and the Cadet, have size on their side. What happens when thinner, smaller blades are brought to the table? I've seen knives of this size (admittedly, from other knife makers than Buck) literally bend under the pressure of serious knife use.

Not so, though, with Lancer. Every bit as tough as the larger members of the Buck family and I've used my Lancer in spots when I probably should have chosen a bigger, longer knife. No complaints here. Lancer is every bit a Buck and can be used as such.

THE HORSEMAN

The Buck 305 is a sturdy, reliable, and useful pocket knife which maintins a good edge for a very long time. It's size is very comfortable for continuous carrying, so I carry mine, always.

The Buck Lancer is the perfect penknife to keep in your pocket at all times. Its light weight & small size seems to make it disappear until required. The Quintessential Gentleman's Pocket Knife

I have used this type of Buck knife for many years, the only problem I have is either I lose it or loan it and it never gets returned. This is great small pocket knife, but large enough to do most knife tasks. I also, purchase the same knife, except with the Rosewood finish for a spare. Buck knives are the only knives I will purchase.

The knife is well made and arrived sharp. I've carried Buck knives since I was kid. I wish they were all still American made. I anticpate years of quailty service.

This is a very small and lightweight pocket knife. Very sturdy and well made. It's a knife you will be proud to carry. When others see it, their response is usually, "Wow, that's a really nice pocket knife."
