The Buck 501 stands as one of America's most iconic folding knives, combining timeless design with proven functionality. This slim lock-back folder features a sharp 3-inch drop point blade—ideal for slicing, detail work, and general cutting tasks.

Crafted entirely in the USA, the 501 showcases Buck's commitment to quality. Brass bolsters frame the handle, adding both durability and classic aesthetic appeal.

Whether you're a hunter, outdoors enthusiast, tradesperson, or collector, the Buck 501 delivers dependable performance and lasting value. A true American classic that has earned its place in countless collections and field kits for over 50 years.
