The Buck Alpha Scout Elite features MagnaCut steel and a black machine-textured G10 handle. A knife built for the rigors of hunting, the Alpha Scout is the perfect knife for use on both big and small game. The high-panel flat grind adds toughness and increases cutting performance of the blade, while the jimping on the blade spine and handle improves grip. Pinch points on the handle increase control when using different grips on the knife for detailed work. The textured handle gives you a trusted grip, even in wet conditions. Each handle scale is removable, allowing for easy cleanup after processing your prey. Includes a built-in lanyard hole and an imported Kydex sheath with belt attachment. Full tang construction ensures durability, strength, and overall balance. A lanyard can be attached to the lanyard hole to enhance knife retention, aid in retrieval from its sheath, or add a bit of personalization. Knife made in the USA. Imported Kydex sheath includes: Black sheath with rivets, locking, multi-position belt attachment, adapter plate, and hardware. Kydex sheaths are form-fitted to your knife and will initially have a very tight fit. The sheath will break in and loosen up a bit, but will still securely hold your knife. It is normal to see plastic shavings after the first few uses. Sheath is compatible with Tek-Lok belt attachments (not included).
