My look at the illustrious Buck 501 Squire lockback knife 

I got a barlow from "SZCO Supplies" on Amazon. It's a cheap knife. But it has a wood handle and good springs. And the one I got is a very nice, comfortable, inexpensive knife.

Bucks are classic. The 500 series make for great EDCs I think. Thanks for the review!

Well, it’s been ten years...do you still have the knife? Condition? Enquiring minds want to know.

I just received my 501 squire along with 4 other. bucks. They were 2X110, 112 Ranger , 726 mini spitfire and out of the five i received the only one worth keeping was the 112 Ranger all the others were very poorly built and finished and are all going right back to the factory.

Have three 501,two old and a later one with wooden scales. My go to knives every day. Buck rebuilt one of my early ones ,fantastic service and turn around. Great lifetime warrenty.

My first pocket knife that I bought in 1973; almost lost it once. Had to buy a back-up one just in case😂

I carry all my daily stuff in a Pentagon shoulder bag. I won't lose anything this way and it's amazing the amount of stuff you could fit in.

hi sir totally agree with you ,im not a knife "connaiseur" by all mean i bought the same knife i have for the last 4 month my first knife purchase my dream knive was either a spyderco chaparal or boker pisqueak gorgeous knife here in canada its forbidden to have one hand opening knive so i went with this one i simply love this knive for food prep either at work or on bicycle tour in many ways its the best knife dont 1000$ sharpening equipment to sharpen diamond hard steel plus the knowledge along with it ,love it so much i intend to purchase the 500 series they design for eveready light work its perfect

So, 11 years in, what are your thoughts 🤔

fun vid. I always liked the 501 alot. Its sort of unappreciated I think until you get one. Good all around everyday knife that can actually step up to some serious tasks if you need it too. I carry a Buck pocket clip 484 lockblade at work. It is kinda their cheap plastic pocket version of the 501. Its USA made, but ain't no 501! I need to find a scuffed up user Squire to carry to work, lol.

Every pocket knife I have lost I have lost because it was in my back pocket. Why did you opt against a knife with a pocket clip?

Heck, I don't wear jeans and I'm not fond of the feel of the clip when I hold the handle.

would of been a great video if it hadnt been for the out of focus. Know its been a while, but...
