Review: Buck 480 Fixed Blade Drop Point Knife

I have got 2 of these so far and ordered 2 more, they are awesome!!

I wish we could buy that leather sheath, that’s nice!!

I am very new to knife, they are my second knifes.
None of people I have asked around me can guess the price to be so low even I told them upfront they are very very cheap.
And after I told them the low price, they ask me which local shop I got them. I told them they were from HongKong by air.
Then everyone is guessing what is the cost to fabricate these knives?
I suspect they are rejected batches due to minor cosmetic defects, and FASTTECH somehow got hold on a big batch and want to clear them fast.
I gave one to my mum and she used it to cut chicken yesterday, sharper than her other knifes, maybe it is still new.

yah .they got tons of these stuff in china. its the worlds manufacturing base now! il order a few more as gifts! I suspect there's a limited quantity and its going to run out of stock soon...

I discovered that knife probably 4yrs ago. I bought mine off ebay for like $17 shipped. Mine is perfect.

perhaps fasttech can get this version ??? il order a few :)

Sorry for all that like that knife but… It’s a fake knife that you can find in all places.
And the steel is unknow, in some sites it says 8cr13mov, others 440c (haha) and other 420j, well, who knows.

Party pooper ! get him boyzz!!

Even if it is a fake it’s still a hell of a knife for $8.95 and you can’t find it for that price at all places

yah sure the Knife is fake and so is Megan foxes b**bs ! Yes they are fake but we still want her they are still Awsome :)

You made me laugh!

I think Megan fox is more useful than that knife!.
And… I really don’t think that atributes of the photo are fake!. S)

But, you can like it the knife, alright, but always knowing that it is fake and not a real buck knife and that you have found a treasure.

yah but sometimes the fake is actually better then the genuine :) !!!

Genuine

Oh my eyes! :weary:

Some things, once seen, cannot be unseen.

However hard you try.

By the way, mine DIDN’T come with bottle of machine oil. I don’t need the oil though.

you use soap? hehehehehe

I use oil on my face.

"This may or may not be legitimate. We did have these produced for the RMEF a while ago, and they were manufactured in China. However, these have also been a favorite of the counterfeit sellers. We have seen these pop up on numerous sites (many in China). The problem is, since the originals were made in China and they do such a good job copying, the counterfeit ones look exactly like the legitimate ones and both are made in China. Best thing to do is to ask how the person selling it acquired it. If it was from a web site, I would be leary. If it was from a "brick and mortor" store in the US, then probably ok, or if from the RMEF itself, then ok.
