Get your hands on the new BuckMaster 2.0 while they last! kcoti.com/4fCUnmz The original Buck Knives BuckMaster was a staple of the 1980’s combat/survival genre, and while this new version may look different, that’s because it’s been totally redesigned to execute the mission of the original even better. With direct input from retired SEAL Commander D.T. Coulter, this knife features a stronger spear point blade suited for prying and digging, and a detachable Emergency Anchor Wing for use for grappling and securing watercraft in an emergency. These are limited to 1,000 pieces so don’t wait around for this one.
I remember being a boy scout and watching one of my friends throw the original buck master on the shower house attached to paracord and tried to use as a grappling hook. He tore off the gutter and we all got chewed out
My friend pulled his out of sheath and got 10 stitches lol after he was stitched up we went camping, dam I wanted that knife but alas didn't have the money I carried a surplus air force bolt handle knife 😢
Because it can hook onto whatever it can hook onto. A branch, rock, fence, anything it can dig into. BUT I will agree that my need for such a thing is quite low
Yeah it's like what's the proper function vs for uhhh something.... I still don't see the full functionality with either knife other than for stabbing shit.
@@VynSnow For some context (very little actually); these are Special Operations, diving knives. I imagine the hooks can be used to attach bags/lines/crab pots/wtfe; I'm not a diver or a Seal, so as to what you'd actually hook onto I can only speculate.
"Guys, I can suspend my wife from the ceiling with this." Tucks it into his scuba themed full latex gimp suit that has level 4 plates and an integral sheath for it. Seriously, at a Rich swingers club where they do knife play, this is how you get the wives going.
Imagine using this to climb but whatever the blade was holding onto comes loose with some force and now you have a 10 inch blade flying at your face at Mach Jesus
@@DABinCHRIST it's not for a big boat,I think he said the weight limit was 250 pounds. it's for military special teams type shit although I seriously doubt they use this bullshit
Its just one of the most dumbest knife designs, and its insane they tried to push this for SEALS. What you hear from the actual seals they mostly absolutely just hated it. Its like those perfect examples military tries to do, and just over load solething that should be simple in to way too complex design thats way too heavy, and clumsy making the entire thing useless. Anchor is good name for this how you should look at it if you actually have to carry it around
@@lalli8152 I think they still make it for the Buck fanboy collectors. Can you imagine having to rely on this, trying to put it together in the middle of some rapids or under fire even...lol...I guess that's why it's available to civillians

@@knightsofthesucc1853it’s to anchor divers/used as a possible grappling hook if you absolutely needed it. I could see its use in water a lot more as water currents can be strong and push you around
I'm still trying to figure out how anyone thinks a knife grappling hook is a good idea. When the grapple slips or w/e its supported on breaks you now have a big knife flying back down into you.
Literally lastly week I had to emergency grapple under water 3 times just to get to work. I cannot wait to buy this. Honestly really cool though this things awesome
I almost cheered at seeing a new Buck combat dagger until i saw the 3 significant holes going thru the blade right before the handle, Are you kidding me? Snappity Snap Snapped blade.
because it is a combat knife, its the 'combat diver', the original was specifically made for seals - and it without the anchor is just the M9 they gave the army. Both of which were not only fantastic failures, they went down in history as the single worst combat knife ever issued. The new design, at least, is better than the original. The M9 didnt even have a tank, the whole thing screwed apart making them prone for breaking - and that was on top of being a bayonet with large enough serrations that you couldnt even get it out of a human target once it got caught on bone. The holes in the base are.... actually okay, provided its good modern steel. The design is definitely a massive improvement, but anything is an improvement over the original design. But even if it werent for combat, a good knife can be used to pry. especially an emergency dive knife. That does make the holes disturbing, but if it tests at 400 pounds its probably fine.
Original Buckmaster was something I drooled over many times as a boy at the ninja stand at the mall. This was right after Rambo: First Blood part 2 came out.
That's 100% this affront to all things good and decent market. Even if they don't buy it, it's the look at me halo knife to win over customers for life.
@@TylerSnyder305 Because for $800 you should be getting ultra high quality materials? I love my Buck 110 in 420HC but those knives go for $80, not $800.
@@burchie1224 That doesn't mean they can't go for $800 and I think their 420hc is an " ultra high quality " material regardless of price. There is no price point where it stops cutting things and holding a respectable edge, so it's very arbitrary to say that knife of XYZ$ cannot be in 420HC. Your logic only works if you were going through the custom shop and said custom shop had a breakdown of every single material and what that steel cost from the supplier as well as the additional labor ...etc involved in working with that steel. We don't know exactly what it cost to manufacture this knife, and it may be that they're having to utilize methods which are less economical and don't even scale well enough to lower cost in volume either. I have no doubt they're making a real profit, but the price probably has more justification than we realize. Having the sheath / scabbard being made for them, the machining in the blade, the hook piece, it's mechanism...etc.
The grey one would stab you in the hand and the black one isn’t gonna deflect an attack and that’s not including having to fiddle around with it to put it together while in danger
@@swavey416_music7 Of the gray ones. There were 3 models produced. I have the second model which the guy is holding in his hand. I've owned this knife since 1985 or 86 and it's never attacked me. The anchors are detachable. I'm very familiar with that knife. That knife can be deployed from the scabbard in less than a second. However if your down to only a knife to insure your survival, then you're on the way out, and might as well kiss your ass goodbye. The only knife ( in my opinion ) that's equal to the original buck master is the Gerber BMF from the mid 1980's.
It's an emergency boat anchor for divers. Can be used as a normal knife, but if something goes wrong with the anchor you can deploy this as an alternate solution. When diving, a death sentence would be your boat drifting off. Good knife, good utility.
Holy crap... it's $800 or USA made 420HC SS and no MAGNACUT!? It's limited edition... but why!? This thing should be $90 max and compete against the Gerber Strongarm. People are smoking something strong these days.
I think it's more like 20 bucks worth of knife. It's all cheap. Chinese steel plastic handles. Even the fit and finish on buck knives isn't what it used to be. Might as well go get an SOG
The exact examples shown no, but the original 184 Buckmaster was designed for and used by USN S.E.A.L operators back in the 80's. From what I understand the most common use for those hooks on the 184 were gear retrieval...etc
@@herbderbler1585 You'd have to know what you're doing and be pretty careful, but I do agree that it's not a great idea. The SEALS back in the 80's thought it was a good idea though.
Blast from the past. I remember seeing the Buckmaster at sporting goods stores, walmart, knife shops all through the 80's and 90's as a kid and I always wanted one to replace my shoddy survival knife.
It reminds of the B-MOVIE where the M.C. wielded a crystal sword that consisted of three blades the only weapon that could defeat the evil wizard... I wish I could see that movie again
The triple bladed sword, in that movie, wasn’t made of crystal. Maybe he just remembered it wrong. It was pretty cool, with the blades shooting off, but I would rather have the other sword, in the movie, that was so much tougher.
I remember when the Buck master hit the market not long after Rambo fist blood hit the theater...all the guys I knew wanted one of those knives.. That seems like life times ago..
Not trying to be a knife fudd but the first Buckmaster not only looks 100% better than the new one, it also seems to be 100% more useful. I think Buck should just make the original model again.
I always thought that you should have been able to screw one of the anchor pins into the lanyard hole to make a knuckle guard from the two of them. Also, a bigger blade 12"+.
that would be wildly more useful than the failed navy knife that inspired the M9, which then went down in history as the single worst combat knife ever issued. The new design at least looks like it has a tang and wont snap off. They made the original literally screw apart for the armor for 'maintenance' - meaning it had no real tang.
Picked up the original with scabbard for $20.00 because it was missing the spikes. The guy wanted $45.00. Big heavy scratches all over and I have it in my collection. I never take it camping it's to cumbersome. But I have an original Buckmaster.
There were actually two versions of the original buck master both basically the same they had hollow handles to store a small survival kit and the anchor spikes would screw in and out but having hollow handles made them less durable than I’d like, I’m lucky enough to own all three all great knives with the newest being the best of course
I carried the original Buckmaster when i was in the Army, i broke the tip off in combat. When I got back home i sent it back to the manufacturer to see if they could do a regrind of the point of the knife, to my surprise they sent me a brand new knife, i still have that knife best company ever 👍 by the way I'm 63 so that makes the knife about 35 years old.
not to be rude sir, i absolutely respect anyome who joined back when it meant something, but are you sure you dont mean the M9 bayonet? Same blade, just without the anchor. The buckmaster was used almost entirely by the us navy, only a few small groups of army SOF units issued the buckmaster for testing. ...And the M9 is quite famously known in history as the worst combat knife ever invented, far too heavy, too wide and serrated to thrust, too thick to cut well, prone to breaking... like yours did, and to top it off it didnt even have an actual tang so the entire blade could and did snap off. Then as a cherry on the cake they didnt even ship them sharpened, which spawned a whole myth that bayonets are meant to be blunt, because armorers at unit level were unwilling to take time to give each one an edge. I sure didnt do it when i finally became the armorer, i just told everyone to buy an actual knife. I'm glad you had a positive experience, but i really wouldnt recommend the knife to a friend. the kabar, army M1, and even the russian 74 bayonet are all wildly considered to be better on every front.
@@HonorableAssassins Hi there firstly nice to hear from you secondly Australia army not US, we used FN SLR rifles 762 we did not have the M9 bayonet, as paratroopers we had a little more leeway as to what we could carry so I purchased the Buckmaster it was not an issued item. Hope this clears things up for you by the way the numbers in my name are my service number. All the best Rob.
"This was the bushmaster back then and this is it now... How did we come up with this?" *cuts to designer with wrist covered in stab wounds looking pissed off*
Straight up, no hate, but this is an absolutely dumb concept. No real diver, military, rock climber, camper, hunter, or survivalist would use something like this.🤦🏽 Just think about it, if this "hook" were to slip from above, you'd have a sharp ass blade falling down towards you and or towards your shin or feet. How about this, create a co2 propelled grappling hook or something useful like that, that'd be cool 😎
Arborists use spring and air powered launchers to shoot a little weighted line over a tree limb, then they use the little line to hoist an actual rope.
The original 184 Buckmaster from the 80's was designed for and used by USN SEALS. The most common use for the hooks was gear retrieval, they weren't climbing with it. They were retrieving gear and anchoring down their inflatable zodiac boats...etc. Btw the scabbard stays on so you're not throwing an exposed sharp edge around. I'm not saying the concept was ever the best most practical thing ever but it had some function that was utilized for practical purposes. Back in the 80's most people bought the original because it was like a Rambo knife but with more features and wasn't some cheap Taiwanese piece of garbage from the flea market.
This is why i love my buck 110 and 119. Modern made ones too, i was born in 02 i dont think i carried either through 'Nam lol. Theyre just simple quality made knives that dont try and be something theyre not. The best elegance in life truly is the simplicites of it. I dont care how fancy a knife does one thing i will never need, i care about how simple a knife can accomplish many tasks.
The legendary BuckMaster Model 184 took the knife world by storm in the 1980s. Built as a mission-critical tool for military use, the original BuckMaster found a following among those in and out of uniform. Buck Knives delivered 2,500 BuckMasters to the world-renowned U.S. Navy SEALs in 1985. Consequently, the original BuckMaster Model 184, having undergone rigorous field testing by U.S. Navy SEALs, U.S. Army Special Forces, and various other special operations personnel, emerged as a pivotal design that led to the development of the venerable M9 Multi-Purpose Bayonet System, a tool that earned official adoption by the U.S. Army in 1987.

@@Randald ha!
"Dammit, Carl!!"
Nice presentation, Rich! I see Mike’s print in the background too; very cool!
Not trying to be a knife fudd but the first Buckmaster not only looks 100% better than the new one, it also seems to be 100% more useful. I think Buck should just make the original model again.
I always thought that you should have been able to screw one of the anchor pins into the lanyard hole to make a knuckle guard from the two of them. Also, a bigger blade 12"+.
It was a piece of garbage. The blade was separate from the handle and could snap off.
@@waltlock8805 true
Agreed!!!!!
So interesting to and loved how happy the guy was while telling about it
With tactical hole right in the middle to attach the guard and reduce weight. Definitely no structural flaw here.
Holy crap.. a knife worthy to enter my collection again.
400 pounds? thats almost as much as the ppl who consider this a cool knife, nice.
Fantastic! 😂
That’s the idea 🤣
how rude!!!
@@nopenope7088 the 400lb club memeber has spoken!
Like you
Buck backs up their knives,great company.
Give me the old model, but with better steel...
Old one is the same steel
@@erico2079yea that’s why he said “but with better steel”…tf you on about bud?
I like it, but I want a bowie style blade. that grappling attachment is perfect to protect the fingers and wrists and detachable. perfection
Thought it was like a parrying dagger
that would be wildly more useful than the failed navy knife that inspired the M9, which then went down in history as the single worst combat knife ever issued.
The new design at least looks like it has a tang and wont snap off. They made the original literally screw apart for the armor for 'maintenance' - meaning it had no real tang.
That’s pretty cool. First time I’ve ever seen one of these.
Both gimmicks
I don't know anybody who wants one
The older model or the new one
But people will buy them.
I bought a knock off of the older model when I was like....16, because it looked cool.
Picked up the original with scabbard for $20.00 because it was missing the spikes. The guy wanted $45.00.
Big heavy scratches all over and I have it in my collection. I never take it camping it's to cumbersome. But I have an original Buckmaster.
It's never been a good idea to replicate a bad idea and this is a good example.
THE ORIGINAL LOOKS WAY MORE BADASS THEN THE NEW ONE
Pretty cool, not often you see a good thing get better
I like Buck but this is really stupid
There were actually two versions of the original buck master both basically the same they had hollow handles to store a small survival kit and the anchor spikes would screw in and out but having hollow handles made them less durable than I’d like, I’m lucky enough to own all three all great knives with the newest being the best of course
I carried the original Buckmaster when i was in the Army, i broke the tip off in combat. When I got back home i sent it back to the manufacturer to see if they could do a regrind of the point of the knife, to my surprise they sent me a brand new knife, i still have that knife best company ever 👍 by the way I'm 63 so that makes the knife about 35 years old.
not to be rude sir, i absolutely respect anyome who joined back when it meant something, but are you sure you dont mean the M9 bayonet? Same blade, just without the anchor. The buckmaster was used almost entirely by the us navy, only a few small groups of army SOF units issued the buckmaster for testing.
...And the M9 is quite famously known in history as the worst combat knife ever invented, far too heavy, too wide and serrated to thrust, too thick to cut well, prone to breaking... like yours did, and to top it off it didnt even have an actual tang so the entire blade could and did snap off. Then as a cherry on the cake they didnt even ship them sharpened, which spawned a whole myth that bayonets are meant to be blunt, because armorers at unit level were unwilling to take time to give each one an edge. I sure didnt do it when i finally became the armorer, i just told everyone to buy an actual knife.
I'm glad you had a positive experience, but i really wouldnt recommend the knife to a friend. the kabar, army M1, and even the russian 74 bayonet are all wildly considered to be better on every front.
@@HonorableAssassins Hi there firstly nice to hear from you secondly Australia army not US, we used FN SLR rifles 762 we did not have the M9 bayonet, as paratroopers we had a little more leeway as to what we could carry so I purchased the Buckmaster it was not an issued item. Hope this clears things up for you by the way the numbers in my name are my service number. All the best Rob.
My wife would be delighted to have and own one of THESE
Someone gonna live out their Klingon fantasy
lol!
just got done a trade show, had a youtuber stop by.... at least i can say i trust my product with my life
"This was the bushmaster back then and this is it now... How did we come up with this?"
*cuts to designer with wrist covered in stab wounds looking pissed off*
We used the 1984 version in my light infantry unit to clear tripwires. Used it like a grappling hook.
You forget your anchor and can then use this, cool. But, now you dont have your knife.
MADE IN THE U.S.A. WE NEED MORE OF THAT!
I wasn't that into the design but that anchor design is kinda cool. It's mall ninja to the max but still cool.
I would definitely buy this it also has a sick design I’m sold👍🏽😮💨😮💨
How about you just make more Buckmasters
Beautiful demonstration
Holy shit people will buy anything why am I not creating literally anything
So you made knife with huge weak point in crucial area. Well done Dasess
Both models are absolutely ridiculous. Not in a good way either.
I do like certain things about it for sure
bring back original design , just upgrade it.
Bucks are dropping their antlers at the sight of that thing.
Jimmy is swinging his knife on the treestand again!
This is how a Legend became a stupid kids ninja toy.
And the price... absolutely ridiculous
Sharp pointy tips in the direction of my hand PERFECT!
Straight up, no hate, but this is an absolutely dumb concept. No real diver, military, rock climber, camper, hunter, or survivalist would use something like this.🤦🏽
Just think about it, if this "hook" were to slip from above, you'd have a sharp ass blade falling down towards you and or towards your shin or feet.
How about this, create a co2 propelled grappling hook or something useful like that, that'd be cool 😎
Arborists use spring and air powered launchers to shoot a little weighted line over a tree limb, then they use the little line to hoist an actual rope.
@@soopersooper3291 You're telling me they don't throw a running chainsaw over the limb with a line attached to it?
@@TheWinstonDouble I do but I’m not an arborist, I’m a serial killer
@@soopersooper3291 hahaha
The original 184 Buckmaster from the 80's was designed for and used by USN SEALS.
The most common use for the hooks was gear retrieval, they weren't climbing with it.
They were retrieving gear and anchoring down their inflatable zodiac boats...etc.
Btw the scabbard stays on so you're not throwing an exposed sharp edge around.
I'm not saying the concept was ever the best most practical thing ever but it had some function that was utilized for practical purposes.
Back in the 80's most people bought the original because it was like a Rambo knife but with more features and wasn't some cheap Taiwanese piece of garbage from the flea market.
This is why i love my buck 110 and 119. Modern made ones too, i was born in 02 i dont think i carried either through 'Nam lol. Theyre just simple quality made knives that dont try and be something theyre not. The best elegance in life truly is the simplicites of it. I dont care how fancy a knife does one thing i will never need, i care about how simple a knife can accomplish many tasks.
Only $800
I was waiting for that grappling hook bit
So we making klingon daggers now...I love it
I'd never pay the price but would love to have one for the forest.
Mad props for keeping everything "in house" with your products! God bless!
Love the 1984 Buckmaster ❤
Nice 👍 good job keep up the good work
The legendary BuckMaster Model 184 took the knife world by storm in the 1980s. Built as a mission-critical tool for military use, the original BuckMaster found a following among those in and out of uniform. Buck Knives delivered 2,500 BuckMasters to the world-renowned U.S. Navy SEALs in 1985. Consequently, the original BuckMaster Model 184, having undergone rigorous field testing by U.S. Navy SEALs, U.S. Army Special Forces, and various other special operations personnel, emerged as a pivotal design that led to the development of the venerable M9 Multi-Purpose Bayonet System, a tool that earned official adoption by the U.S. Army in 1987.
except troops hated both and the m9 went down in history as the single worst combat knife ever issued, to *any* military.
For skinnin those under water 8 pointers
Niiiice, looks like it would protect you hands in a knife fight too
Funny thing I've never needed more than my Cub scout knife.
