Review: Best pocket knife! - This is a great knife and concept, a 110 shrunk down to an adorable yet useful pocket knife size. The thing just exudes quality and class, feels good in the hand, has zero blade play, and it came scary sharp (bald patch on my forearm to prove it!) with a needle-pointy tip as well. I thought about getting a 500 series, but I prefer the clip point over the drop point for its fine detail and piercing ability (it looks cooler, too), and also the brass bolsters over the nickel silver bolsters because I like how the brass patinas. It's easier to just grab the blade with your thumb and forefinger than to use the actual nail nick. It's refreshing to use an old-school lockback after having fiddled with a liner lock knife before. You would think the handle would be too small to be comfortable but it's not really. I have pretty big hands and I can still get good leverage on it. The brass and wood composite are so nice to hold that I tend to turn it over in my hand while thinking about something. The blade steel is 420HC, as most of Buck's knives are. It may not be the latest gee-whiz supersteel, but I'll tell you what, it's an honest working steel that's proved its worth from decades of hard use on 110s. During my research, reviewers on Youtube have stated that this particular Bos heat-treated 420HC is at least on-par with 440C and AUS-8. I repair and build computers, so I used it recently to open packages of new gear and cut cable management zip ties (another plus of the clip point, the end of the blade is thinner so it can fit inside the zip tie better). I'm also finding myself pulling it out for miscellaneous uses that I didn't think of before I carried a knife, such as cutting a loose thread instead of pulling on it. It hasn't dulled yet after a week of sporadic use, but I got a ceramic sharpener for when it does. Overall I couldn't be happier and I expect it to serve me well for years to come. Note: I saw some people saying the lockbar is raised slightly on the back end while in the closed position, this is normal. They grind the lockbar flush in the open position so you have a smooth surface while using it. If they ground it flush closed then the opposite would be true. I heard their custom knives don't do this, though.
Review: Buck Quality Through and Through - You can't go wrong with a Buck Knife, and the Model 55 is no exception. The Model 55 is about one-half the size of the legendary Buck Model 110 folding hunter. The advantage of the Model 55 is that it easily carries in a pocket as opposed to needing a sheath like with the Model 110. The steel in the Model 55 has been optimized by Buck and provides a great balance of wear, edge retention, and ability to sharpen the knife. In summary, the Buck Model 55 is a winner and a great daily carry for those days when a Model 110 is just too much to carry.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best pocket knife!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Venerable Buck 55 (Little Brother of the Buck 110) - Great EDC Knife
*by P***Y on January 31, 2015*

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.
