The Browning Buckmark Slim EDC folding knife delivers precision cutting performance in a compact profile built for everyday carry. This drop point blade combines D2 tool steel construction with a textured polymer handle for reliable performance across demanding applications.
What Makes This Different
The D2 steel blade composition provides superior edge retention compared to standard stainless steel options, maintaining sharpness through extended use cycles. Black oxide coating reduces glare while adding corrosion resistance beyond bare steel finishes. The 3.13-inch blade length maximizes cutting capability while remaining compliant with most local carry regulations.
Key Features
- D2 tool steel blade with 58-60 HRC hardness for exceptional edge retention
- Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces reflective surfaces
- Drop point blade geometry optimizes cutting performance for general utility tasks
- Textured sage polymer handle scales ensure secure grip in wet conditions
- Compact 3.13-inch blade length balances cutting capacity with portability
- Folding design with locking mechanism secures blade during use
- Pocket clip enables convenient everyday carry positioning
Field performance testing demonstrates consistent cutting through rope, cardboard, and synthetic materials without significant edge degradation. The drop point configuration excels in precision work while maintaining strength for heavier cutting tasks. Weather exposure shows minimal impact on handle texture grip properties and blade coating integrity.
