BUCK KNIFE TECHNOLOGY

Buck ASAP Technology - Buck's Assisted Opening Knife

This is the ultimate in one-hand openers. A ‘liner lock’ locks the blade open. To open, release the safety, then push the blade release ridge. After the blade starts opening, the assisted opening mechanism (ASAP)* completes the blade opening, which releases the liner to lock the blade open. To close, push left on the front of the liner lock releasing the lock. Close the blade and engage the safety on top of the handle.

Offers a higher level of safety than automatic knives (switchblade type). Our two-stage action of releasing the safety, then opening the blade is far safer. Automatic knives on the other hand, typically use gravity alone or a button/lever in the handle to release the spring mechanism opening the blade from a fully closed position.

*Due to the complex and changing nature of knife laws, it is your responsibility as a knife user to investigate whether the purchase, possession and use of an Assisted Opening Knife complies with federal, state and local knife laws.

Buck SHIFT MECHANISM

Our latest breakthrough is the patent-pending Shift Mechanism. This feature, incorporated into the new Paradigm series, serves as an advanced locking mechanism that not only keeps the blade from collapsing while extended, but also prevents accidental opening when the blade is folded. With a slight glide of the bolster and a flick of the finger, this knife is easily opened. Combined with Buck’s patented ASAP opening technology, the Shift Mechanism™ creates a knife that’s ready the instant it’s needed.
