I feel like if you're considering a Case Trapper or Stockman because the heritage and history, but also realize you don't need three blades, this is the perfect little gentlemen's folder. I love it.
Nice intro. Beautiful little lockback..With inflation going crazy $75 is the new $50,,, I have been looking at knife prices & some are up 50% compared to prices at the end of 2020 to what they are now 😲Great review on the 55 Thanks TK
I really hope to get this knife soon. I have the 110 and 112 but would really like this one because of ease of pocket carry. Thanks for doing this video.
If you want a realy good knife try a Hunter Pro Victronox Swiss Army Knife twice the price of your Buck 55 but you get three times the knife with the Alox handle finger grip shape lock back with stainless clip and laynard Model M !
Nice review. I got one last summer at the Buck store in Idaho while on vacation. It was a factory second for only $30.00. The only thing wrong with it was the 'B' of buck on the tang stamp was a little soft.
Will you look at Bökers Plus series slips like the Atlas or Celos ? If you get a good deal of course, there's also a SAK style MT called Tech-Tool City 4 that apparently is good
I love the 110 and 112, but some reason this one never appealed to me. Of their traditional pocket knives, I prefer the 301 or similar. Not putting down those that love these or their similar ones, just prefer others in their line.
@@ThriftyKaniffy I feel like the extra 10bucks for what you get should be celebrated….. certainly no “apology” needed for 50 dollar target 👍🏻 all the best Boss
That smaller Buck probably would probably meet almost anyone's requirements for a practical EDC. However, I don't see why they couldn't just add a thumbstud to make it easier to open one-handed. Thanks for the overview of a great, small pocket knife.
Oddly, this one is going for $5 more than the full size 110 at Cabela's...guess it just goes to show that most of the cost is the labor, not the materials. Thanks for the review!
Can you explain why the Buck 55 is $69.00 and the Buck 112 ranger is alone $69.00??? Just wondering if you know why... Thanks, and love your videos bro 👍

The model 55 is pricey for what it is, but it's no less a great knife. Thanks, Helpless

Inflation has been nuts lately. Grab whatever bargains you can while they last. Thanks JP.
@@ThriftyKaniffy original buck 110 is 30 dollars at my local Walmart, but it's one of the mabey 4 or five different knives they sell
@@ThriftyKaniffy hey I don't know if your handy when it comes to knife making or knife conversions if so could you try my idea?? A buck 55 auto
I really like the buck 55! Thanks for the video! Glad you were able to pick one up!
Me too. Thanks for watching J.O.
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos as of late. Your collection and content is great. Very enjoyable. I haven’t subscribed yet but plan to soon.
Thanks hag90, welcome to the channel. Glad you like it.
Got one of these a couple years back, and it’s a wonderful little pocket dropper. Great review, buddy!
Much appreciated David, happy to hear you enjoyed the review.
Thanks for the review. The 55 and larger 501 Squire are great knives!
I thought you'd appreciate a good Buck review KD. Take care.
Buck is highly underrepresented in my collection.
Sounds like you're meaning to rectify that. Thanks Rusty.
You gots to correct that 👍😁
Hi buddy! That is a sweet little knife I have never picked up. Thanks for checking it out !
Thanks KD. Four112s? and no 55? Hard to believe.
Nice review. I have a 112 but its kinda heavy to carry around in my pocket. Gonna get me this tiny one🎉
It's a quite a bit smaller, so definitely an easier carry so long as you can make it work for your needs.
I have a model 55, and I love it. I just with Buck had made it more of a miniature model 110. It is essentially a Prince with a clip point blade.
I think it has a great shape. Plenty of mini 110 style knives, just not from Buck. Thanks, 7come.
The 55 has always interested me. They have always been on the high end as to the price, which is why I never picked one up. Great review!
I don't splurge much, but an occasional Buck or Case is my way of supporting these American companies. Thanks RJ.
@@ThriftyKaniffy I hear you on that brother!
Those really are some sweet little knives. Very cool.👍👍
Right on, Steve. Thanks for watching.
I really hope to get this knife soon. I have the 110 and 112 but would really like this one because of ease of pocket carry. Thanks for doing this video.
Definitely an easy pocket dropper. Thanks for having a look at the review.
Good time to learn how to make your own sheath like I did.
Don't know why it doesn't come with it.
Hello. Very nice small lockback. I like the 110 but always found it a bit heavy for general edc. I will have to look out for one. All the best.
That's a common complaint of the 110. Buck make some great choices though. Thanks Rhino.
well done John. a classic.
Thanks very much, David.
An Ebony 55 is my favourite Buck for carry. I just wish mine didn't have blade-play. 😔 Buck should up their game a bit.
Thanks for the feedback TSE.
I got one recently for 50 bucks. Had to talk the guy down 5 bucks, and its from 2007, but it's in perfect shape.
That's a great piece. Thanks for having a look, Fidel.
Little pocket dropper lockbacks are my favorite. Thank you
Glad you liked it, SOBX. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel.
If you want a realy good knife try a Hunter Pro Victronox Swiss Army Knife twice the price of your Buck 55 but you get three times the knife with the Alox handle finger grip shape lock back with stainless clip and laynard Model M !
I've not gotten into the larger Victorinox. Maybe at some point. Thanks, Scott.
I love the 55. It’s as if the 110 squirted out a baby. Thanks for the look TK
Thanks for tuning in Mr. B. 110/2=55
The 110's little brother, cool knife! I love the way the bolsters curve downward, kinda pricey....but what isn't nowadays?
Thanks Tim. It's not your budget friendly type knife, but sometimes I like to splurge.
@@ThriftyKaniffy I can see why you did on this one, it"s a beauty!
I've been thinking about picking up a 55. I just did a video comparing the 110, 501 & 503. Buck makes a great knife. Nice review video!
Thanks for having a look CBR. Not the most inexpensive of knives, but the quality is there.
I love Buck knives, but man have their prices gone up. I purchased 2 Buck 110’s for $29.99 each just a few years back, now they are double.
Walmart had the 110 briefly for $35, so occasionally you might get a bargain price on them.
85 now where I live
55 is half of 110 mathematically so I guess half the size of a 110 was what they were going for. I've never handled one but it looks like a nice size.
Yep, the math works. Some smarty pants at Buck knew what they were doing. Thanks William.
Beautiful little knife👍 The perfect EDC?
Hmmm, could be for many folks. Thanks AKE.
Nice review. I got one last summer at the Buck store in Idaho while on vacation. It was a factory second for only $30.00.
The only thing wrong with it was the 'B' of buck on the tang stamp was a little soft.
That would be a great trip. I hope to do the same some day. Thanks Andrew.

I'll look into therm KJ. Thanks.

We all have our tastes, nothing wrong with that. Thanks for watching, Justin.
The bolsters on the 55 are like the Buck 111.
Right you are, Stephen. Thanks for the info.
My idea of a good working knife, shame we can't carry locking knives in UK, always felt safer using them, not to bulky and heavy for pocket carry.
Ergghhh those laws. Thanks Lewis.
Excellent 👍🏻
Thank you 👍

@@94twentytwo76 Thanks 9422, I try to remain true to the channel. There will be exceptions.
You sound like reverend Lovejoy in the Simpsons 😁
I'm not looking to gamble from the collection plate, but OK.
😉 The Buck 55 is so aptly named because when the interstate speed limit was set to 55, they also secretly limited the size of knife you could carry. 😉
55 stay alive. Man O' man I can't drive that slow, thank goodness they raised the limits.
Alpine1600s I just read the other day that it’s called the 55 because it’s half the size of the 110.
That smaller Buck probably would probably meet almost anyone's requirements for a practical EDC. However, I don't see why they couldn't just add a thumbstud to make it easier to open one-handed. Thanks for the overview of a great, small pocket knife.
Thanks for having a look Sergio. Perhaps a small aftermarket one could be attached, not sure.
Not a fan of the 112.
Love the 55.
Right on, glad you like it Zen.
I have a 55 and it is a beauty but it is WAY overpriced No way it should cost as much as my 110 but it did!
Yep, not the greatest of values. Hard to argue the quality though.
The handle should be walnut at that time
Ok, thanks for that Jamie.
I just watched Williams video on comments I hope I did not offend you it was not my intention at all just wanted to share
@@jamiesowden2424 No worries at all Jamie.
Thanks I have a 55 from around that time mine has walnut I believe the 113 has walnut too around that time
Oddly, this one is going for $5 more than the full size 110 at Cabela's...guess it just goes to show that most of the cost is the labor, not the materials. Thanks for the review!
They must not make as many and it becomes a product of scale. Thanks, Darkwater.
@@ThriftyKaniffy Good point, thanks!
Just got mine today. Perfection. Buy American hire American. Trump 2024.
Glad you're enjoying the knife. One of my favorite Buck folders.
Can you explain why the Buck 55 is $69.00 and the Buck 112 ranger is alone $69.00??? Just wondering if you know why... Thanks, and love your videos bro 👍
I can only guess its because of production quantities it drives the 119 price down a bit. I agree the 55 is quite spendy for what you get.
