Buck Alpha Hunter 2006 Folding Knife – Built to Endure, Designed to Perform

Collectable Buck Alpha Hunter Folding Knife – 2006 Model

Proven in the Wild, Respected Everywhere

This 2006 Buck Alpha Hunter Folding Knife with Black Rubberised Handle isn't just a knife—it's a reliable companion built for serious fieldwork. Buck nailed the balance between compact utility and brute strength. This now-discontinued model (279BK) has become a top pick for collectors and outdoorsmen alike—and with good reason.

The 420HC stainless steel blade is razor sharp right out of the box. At 3.5 inches, it’s ideal for everything from skinning to slicing cordage. The liner lock keeps the blade firmly in place, so there’s no second-guessing under pressure. Unlike newer imports, this one's Made in the USA, and it shows in the craftsmanship.

Designed to Stay Put, Even in the Worst Conditions

A rubberised nylon handle means you won't lose grip, even in the wet. It's contoured to sit comfortably in the hand with no hot spots during long use. Whether you're field dressing game or just cracking open a box, the textured handle gives you the control you need.

The ambidextrous thumb stud makes one-handed opening smooth and fast. A lanyard hole adds even more utility. When not in use, the blade folds down to a compact 4¾ inches and slips neatly into its rugged black nylon sheath.

Rare, Functional, and Ready to Work

This isn’t just a collectable—it’s still a serious working blade. And in mint, unused condition, it’s a rare chance to own one of Buck’s most trusted discontinued designs.

Why the 2006 Buck Alpha Hunter Folding Knife stands out:

• Collectable 2006 model—discontinued and increasingly hard to find

• Grippy, ergonomic black rubberised handle with no-slip control

• Sharp, strong 420HC stainless blade with ambidextrous one-handed open

• Locking liner and lanyard hole for safety and convenience

• Includes original black nylon sheath and box—Made in the USA

If you want a knife that’s built for hunters and trusted by collectors, the 2006 Buck Alpha Hunter Folding Knife with Black Rubberised Handle is it. This is the kind of blade that doesn’t just hold an edge—it holds its place in knife history.
