Here is the link to where I fine tune and slick up the action of this knife: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9and7mJqdXPaI0.htmlsi=fZIt3v40oIJiw-_e

The 722 has been my EDC for the past 7 years and still performs like the day I took it out of the box. An awesome knife! No blade wobble, the finish is still perfect and takes an edge like you'd expect from a Buck knife.

My favorite knife company, they’ve never disappointed me with their quality, price and sharpness of their knives. That is a cool one you got there

Still have a Buck 110 on my hip 40 years later. But that looks like it would be a good skinning knife.

They're just tuff great knife ive own mine for about a year now still very stiff not a problem for me cuts everything well thanks

722 Buck is 420hc which has a very high corrosion resistance and is a tough blade. Great knife for the money.

That is a sweet Buck. Thanks for showing it.👍🇺🇲

I bought a 722 Spitfire in 2015 when they first came out and were right under $30. I returned it because I despised the spring bar design that supports the lockback lever. It's a thin and flat piece of metal and you could really feel it flexing under pressure from the contact with the lockback lever. You can grab the blade and wiggle it up and down and make the lockback lever tap on the springbar so there's a definite gap.

I agree!! I bought one and then I Ordered a custom one. Love the 726 Mini also!

Nice looking Buck spitfire! I have the 112 slim select that is also made in the USA and goes for $30. Thanks for showing us the spitfire. ❤️🔪

I got that same exact knife off Amazon about a year ago I luv it.

Beautiful knife, thanks for sharing. I purchased one a few mothers ago in Nevada for about $50.00. Bought this knife by watching knife doctor videos. I was not disappointed. I am Learning a lot from your videos, thanks again. Can’t wait for your next video

I really like the 722 spitfire. I put a bench made deep Carry pocket clip on it and it fits and works well. Thank you for sharing.

Music to my ears. Buck makes fantastic knives.

Great looking knife. I'm not much on modern knives but that looks very usable. Have a wonderful day today

Yes I have an identical one. Can’t beat em!

722 the mark afterwards is the manufacture date mark you can date buck blades

No one does a better hollow grind blade better than Buck 😊

I got a custom one last July as a birthday gift to myself. I want to upgrade my Buck 112 Slim Select. Used the spitfire less than a week. It’s a nice knife and all but it’s just not for me. It’s a “collector” and not a user. Definitely not worth the cost unless you want your own color combination. But the pocket clip is useless as is, the knife sticks out of your pocket to far. Also the 112 is more comfortable in my pocket and hand. The thumb stud works better than the hole. My hands hurt all the time and the 112 is easier to use as well. The $30ish 112 is a better value IMHO. If someone wants the 722 get the regular one first to see if you like it. If you want to pick your own colors go for the “custom.”

Hey John, I really like my Spitfire and so I put a Lynch clip on mine because I wanted a deep carry clip on it. It worked out great. Take Care.

Do to the solid aluminum body, I thought it would be the perfect lower priced usa made beater knife until I snapped the blade doing something I shouldn't have. Just a heads up to others, Buck's 420hc heat treated blades represent great value if used for knife tasks. If used abusively to hammer through a nail like their emblem shows it'll break.

My favorite Bucks were the 112 and the 276 Alpha Hunter. This makes it 3. Subscriber from Malta - Europe.

Dunno so much about that, I think my Ka-Bar was around $50 in 82, when I bought it.

Looks like it would make a good EDC blade. Buck usually builds a pretty darn good knife, especially for being USA and the prices. Thanks for sharing.

Buck is one of the best quality knives on the market.

Sold me on it. good review.

I like it but the pathetic nanny state, authoritarian laws in the UK prohibit the general carrying of a locking blade in a public place.

I ordered a custom spitfire.I have not received it yet . It just looks like a good EDC knife

There’s a lot of knife videos. The reviewer shows a knife and goes on to describe the three paychecks it takes to acquire one, and you just can’t see “it.” There’s something about that Buck that just looks right. I do think I’d have to reacquire lock back muscle memory versus the liner lock I’ve become accustomed to.

Sweet knife !!!

I have this knife and it is a nice knife.

Nice edge profile

Beautiful knife what number is the smaller one I like it also buck used 420 HC steel good steel

Good stuff John

Not the biggest fan of recurves. Also, you should get buy yourself a 9V battery.

Time to change the battery on your smoke detector - it’s chirping in the background if you can’t hear it, we can.

Just ordered one this evening. It's only money, right?

Can we fund a new battery for the smoke alarm ??

What would make you choose 440 over S35vn?

Sweet

Here is a follow up video slicking up the action and putting a better pocket clip on it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9and7mJqdXPaI0.htmlsi=V9nvqQ43o3ui_kDZ

In thr first part of your video there are two knives with yellow scales. What are they?

I find it disappointing that someone singing the praises of a Buck knife doesn't know about Buck's year of manufacture coding. Buck uses an interesting coding to indicate what year your knife was manufactured. The knife you have was manufactured in 2023. Look it up. Other than your oversight, I largely agree with your assessment. "You can never go wrong with a Buck."

Looks like that pocket clip can be turned around to make it a deep carry.

I can buy upwards of (5) older CASE XX knives at a pawnshop for $50 and I’ll take them any day over a BUCK.I Love the Old CASE XX pocket knives so I can’t help myself.👍🇺🇸

If it only had a deep carry pocket clip.

The best $50 bucks is the Cold Steel 4MAX Scout ….

I want one in S35v

Great Knife 🗡 ! Too bad it's a backlock 😢

100% sure buck uses 420hc steel not 440. they're known for their heat treat on their 420hc.

The sharpening choil and plunge grind look horrible😢

for a knife review, you sure didnt do your homework. that line beside the model number indicates the year of production. the symbol on this knife indicates it was made in 2023. each year of production has a different symbol.

M is 2023 yearmark

I will take any Chinese Spyderco or Byrd over the Buck. Buck just have bad quality control with their lockback folders. They all wobble. Some are better than others but in general they're just not precisely manufactured. I try to support US-made companies and buy US-made product but not if the company doesn't give a crap and create mediocre knives with lousy fit/finish and hide behind "made in USA".

Naaaa.. its ugly

Not impressed at all. I guess I like the old style much better. Knives shaped like this do nothing for me......
