Named after the rugged Selkirk Mountain range beginning in the Northern Panhandle of Idaho, the Selkirk is a midsized knife with added features to help maximize survival in rugged and tough conditions. In addition to the 420HC steel blade, the Selkirk features a Micarta handle with steel bolsters (rear bolster can be used as an improvised hammer), and a heavy duty belt sheath that can be configured for horizontal or vertical carry.

Five Stars Great knife, comfortable to hold. Beautiful handle.
Good Knife, not so good sheath. I have not spent much time using the knife, I can say it came very sharp. It fits nicely in my hand, I like how it feels balanced. The knife seems well made, I am not crazy about the molded sheath: it is rather cheap and does not ride well on a belt hence the reason for only 3 stars.
A very fine EDC for an outdoorsman… I have both the large and small Selkirk fixed-blade Bucks. Both are excellent blades for what they are intended to do. I bought the small one because the large version is a bit too big for an EDC belt knife IMO. I’ve never been fond of Buck’s fixation on 420HC as a blade steel, but there is no gainsaying that it “does the job.” I just wish that Buck had designed the two knives with a really useful finger choil. It would have improved the usefulness of both by a very large degree. Both knives…
