Built for Real-World Abuse. Proven in the Field.

The Buck DA85 Pocket Knife is one of the most durable folding knives I’ve carried through years of hard outdoor use—from freezing rain in Montana to dusty trails in Arizona—without any loss of performance.

Crafted from 3CR13MOV high-carbon stainless steel (HRC 56–58), the DA85 delivers an ideal balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It resists chipping, handles torque without bending, and shrugs off moisture—even after saltwater exposure.

Why it lasts:

• Blade: 3CR13MOV steel for superior wear and corrosion resistance
• Handle: Olive wood with reinforced glass-filled nylon liners
• Lock: Integrated spring-steel liner lock for long-term reliability
• Clip: Titanium-coated steel, securely riveted—not glued

After daily carry, kindling prep, cutting cord, and cleaning fish hooks, I’ve only sharpened it twice. It’s balanced, dependable, and works even in extreme cold.

If you want a folding knife that won’t fail when conditions get harsh, the Buck DA85 is built to deliver—season after season.
