Really good EMS tool... Now move it to America... Buck belongs here.
I really like this knife/tool... and I call it as such because it isn't just a knife. I have a slew of knives with "window breakers" and a "belt cutter" for the Rambo/Rampart wanna-be's, and this just ain't that! I'm not too tickled about the whole "Made in China" thing, but as a First Responder... it works. My main knife/tool is a Spyderco Assist I Orange Handle Rescue Knife and I have a CRKT 5195C Combo Edge Spay Point Folding Knife, Black and ZAK Tool ZT-57P Pocket Window Punch, Red as backup.... but this has become my "go to" for one reason, I'm a "lefty". I can open this one handed, left or right... it locks into place and it HAS a functional belt/strap cutter and a Tungsten Carbide window breaker on the base... Nuff said! I have a number of 'spine locks' and others that work for lefty's... but this one works the best, Seriously! I like the 'grippy' surface and it fits in the hand well as does the blade pivot feature...easy to use.I have not yet had to do an extraction from a vehicle, but when and if I do, I feel confident in my choice of tools.... this inclusive.

Not Quite 5 Stars due to Glass Breaker Position, but that can be removed.
If this knife had a glass breaker that was in a position that didn't gouge the palm of your hand when opening it, then it would be a 5 star blade. Thankfully the glass breaker can be unscrewed by grasping it with a pair of pliers and twisting it out. This did remove one of the key features of the knife, but I'm less likely to need the glass breaker than the palm of my hand.The locking mechanism works great. Do not expect to open this blade at the same speed as a 'flipper' but it opens with ease, usually taking two swipes of your finger to completely open.The blade is stupid sharp, as you would expect a Buck out of the box to be. Expect a nick or two if you are using the lock and open as a fidget spinner and not paying attention.Given what I know now I'd probably save a few bucks and get the Buck Knives 0750YWX REDPOINT Yellow Serrated Folding Knife which is the same knife without the breaker and belt cutter, but with the neutered glass breaker this is perhaps the best of both.

Love this knife, spin lock is not a gimmick.
I bought this to try out for my new everyday carry. I'm never going back to a standard lock blade.First off, this knife is extremely sharp. It has not lost it's edge after several months of occasional box opening and light duty use. I don't use the belt cutter at all because I want it to be sharp if I should ever need it, but I did test it on some nylon cord and it went through it like butter.The spin lock is just amazing once you get the hang of it. You can deploy the blade with one hand and nearly as quickly as a spring action knife. Some may be turned off by the fact that it is locked closed, but I have small children and it gives some peace of mind. The lock button does not affect my ability to deploy or close the blade quickly at all.The rubber grip feels very good in my hand, and gives a lot of confidence, even when wet. The only knock on this feature is that it can make it "stick" in your pocket a bit. For me it's not an issue, and not a serious compromise.The belt/pocket clip is the best I have ever had on a knife. I carry with the knife in my pocket with the clip on the outside. If you want to carry on a very thick belt, you may have an issue. If the clip ever loosens up too much, you can remove it with two screws and bend it back into shape. I haven't needed to do this yet.I live in Florida and have a family member who is a police officer. He inspected this knife and told me he couldn't cite me for carrying it concealed, because it's considered a "folding pocket knife" with a short blade.Give this knife a try, you won't be disappointed!

Unenthused expected much more from a buck
Honestly I expected a lot more from a buck knife I've had many in the past and really like them but lately I've been buying crkt. Finally took a shot in the dark and came back to a buck but I'm completely unenthused. The knife is awkward in your hand it's hard to get in and out of your pocket with the rubber grip and it's difficult to use fully one handed. Slow to open. Also the seatbelt cutter got caught on my pants which is never happened to me before with a rescue knife and cut my pocket. So I'm down a pair of pants and not happy with a almost $50 knife.

Great Buy
I was surprised upon unboxing this knife, the black version actually looks very nice. Something about it makes it appealing, and it feels nice in hand. If you’re looking for a decent rescue knife that you wouldn’t mind beating up, this is the knife. You won’t be breaking the bank. All Buck knives come with a lifetime warranty anyways.Although the lock does feel very sturdy, there’s just a tiny bit of movement in the blade when it’s open.

Great value but the seatbelt cutter is a minor weak spot.
One of the best value rescue knives on the market. The safespin is unique, locks the blade shut, and, let's be honest, fun to fidget with. You can dial in the pivot screw such that you can fling the knife open and shut while pulling back the safety. The seat belt cutter works but nearly as well as others I've used. As with most knives of this style, the seat belt cutter would be next to impossible to resharpen. Not USA made.

and for 30+ dollars I am happy with my purchase
Started to use this today at work, and for 30+ dollars I am happy with my purchase. But, and for me this is a big but. I am 60 years old with a little arthritis in my hands, and I cannot push the lock and unlock button easily. It's actually very hard for me. I have worked the button up and down with the eraser on a pencil several hundred times hoping it will become smoother. Not there yet. I am going to spray a dry lubricant inside and see if that makes it better, I hope. Other than that - Great knife for the money.

No weight, lotta tool for the size, nice grip, good steel and edge retention
love it, smaller than my other rescue knifes and the yellow rubber is grippy with a nice pocket clip to keep ready. Rubber seems to fade a bit but that's probably because of my pocket lint? Just cleaned with tooth brush and dish soap and color mostly comes back. Lock button was pain at first but this is not unfolding accidentally - you must positively pull button down first and then you can assist opening with the top of the blade on the round part. Was a pain at first but now I don't mind.

Muy buen producto.
De muy buena calidad. Muy buen filo. Cabe aclarar que las "cachas" son de plástico/goma pero resistente.
