The curves of the handles act like the palm-swell of a knife handle, filling my large hands beautifully, and combined with the wonderfully rounded-off edges, there are no hotspots whatsoever, no matter how hard I squeeze. Instead of a plain edge blade and a fully serrated blade, to accommodate different needs, it seems like an irritating redundancy to have serrations on both.Īlso, no nail-nicks were cut on the first production run of these.Įrgonomics are excellent. A peculiar pair of blades, considering the norm.

Opening the handles, we can find the blades, one combo edge, and one fully serrated. Its handles do pivot away from each other in a butterfly multi-tool fashion, although along the other axis, much like a side-winder butterfly knife.Īlong the handles, we can see pictograms of the implements, to allow the user to locate which handle stores the implement they are after.Īlso, the pliers have indentations in the arrangement of dice faces, from no dots, up to six, which are related to production runs. Also its handles would each pivot 180°, thus 360°, to go from closed to open. New ones (aka unused) can be a little expensive, and used ones can vary greatly in price and condition.Īn innovative design for its time, the BuckTool 360 was named as such because it was a tool, made by Buck. No stores stock these anymore, although they can still be found occasionally. Patent No 5,267,366 have been licensed to Buck Knives by SOG Specialty Knives and Tools.
