Buck 0180-D1 180 Crosslock Hunter

Buck 0180-D1 Cross-Lock Hunter Knife: A True American Classic

Discontinued. Desirable. Damn Near Perfect.

If you're chasing a hard-to-find Buck hunting knife, the Buck 0180-D1 Cross-Lock Hunter deserves your full attention. Built in 1994 and made in the USA, this is not some throwaway folder—it’s the real deal. Dual blades, one of which is a gut hook, make it an adaptable field companion. Whether you're dressing game or slicing cord, this knife handles it without fuss.

The 420HC stainless steel holds a razor edge with impressive corrosion resistance. The knife shows signs of sharpening with some of the factory grind remaining, and shows a couple of faint scuffs near the spine—likely from storage. No signs of pocket carry, and the liner lock is still tight with that early Pat. Pend marking and quirky backward slash. It's a small but satisfying detail for collectors who appreciate the early Buck engineering touches.

With production long discontinued, knives like this don’t sit around long—especially in this condition.

Purpose-Built Design That Just Works

Not every knife needs to reinvent the wheel. The Zytel handle with rubber inserts gives you reliable grip, wet or dry. Its lightweight feel pairs perfectly with the strong lockup and two versatile blades. The main blade’s 8.5 cm cutting edge is practical, balanced, and dead easy to maintain.
