The Buck Knives 662 Alpha Scout Pro Knife
The Buck Knives 662 Alpha Scout Pro Knife was originally designed as a hunting knife, but it soon became popular as a general camping and scout knife. It has a full tang blade with a Walnut DymaLux® handle that is designed to offer good grip even when wet.
The blade is 2 7/8″ long and 0.139″ thick, and made from heat-treated S35VN stainless steel. This is a martensitic type of stainless steel that contains niobium carbides as well as vanadium and chromium carbides – this makes it approximately 20% tougher than CPM S30V stainless steel without losing any of the wear resistance.
Each of these knives is made in the USA, and each comes with a reinforced leather sheath to keep it on your belt or safely in your pack.
