Buck 791 Range Elite Crossbar Lock Folding Knife, Black

The Buck 791 Range Elite is a folding knife built for camping, hunting, and bushcraft use, featuring a MagnaCut drop point blade measuring 3 3/8 inches and an ambidextrous crossbar lock that works equally well for right- and left-handed users. The black anodized aluminum handle pairs with tumble-polished stainless steel liners, and a reversible deep-carry pocket clip rounds out the carry system. This model ships in black and is made in the USA.

Edge Retention That Reduces Time at the Sharpening Stone

MagnaCut is a powder metallurgy stainless steel known for holding a working edge through demanding cutting tasks. For a knife used repeatedly in camp (breaking down game, processing wood, preparing food), that edge retention means fewer interruptions to resharpen and more time on the task at hand. The 3 3/8-inch drop point blade is satin finished and ground to a profile that handles both fine detail work and heavier camp chores without requiring a blade swap.

An Ambidextrous Lock Built for Confident One-Hand Use

The crossbar lock on the 791 Range Elite engages and releases from either side of the handle, so left-handed users get the same secure, intuitive lockup as right-handed users, with no adapter or workaround required. The reversible deep-carry pocket clip reinforces that ambidextrous design: clip it tip-up on whichever side suits your carry preference. Black anodized aluminum keeps the handle light without sacrificing the rigidity needed for a locked-open folding knife under load.

Made in the USA With a Lifetime Warranty

Each 791 Range Elite blade goes through Buck's heat treat process and a quality performance test before leaving the facility. Buck backs every knife with a lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the knife. For a folding knife that may see years of hard use in the field, that coverage provides a meaningful long-term assurance without an expiration date.
