Description
Stand out from the crowd with the Buck Knives 252 Trunk—Buck’s very first folding cleaver-style knife. Designed to tackle demanding everyday carry (EDC) tasks with ease, the Trunk is a heavy-duty performer packed into a remarkably compact footprint. The blunt-profile cleaver blade excels at slicing, chopping, and heavy pressure cuts, making it the ultimate tool for breaking down cardboard boxes, cutting tough cord, and handling rugged utility chores where a traditional pointed blade might struggle.
The Trunk features a robust 2.875-inch blade forged from 7Cr17MoV stainless steel, delivering reliable edge retention and excellent corrosion resistance. Deployment is swift and highly customizable, thanks to the inclusion of both a flipper tab and dual thumb studs, all pivoting smoothly for rapid one-handed opening. The handle is constructed from highly durable, textured G10, ensuring a secure grip under heavy use. Secured by a sturdy liner lock and equipped with a reversible pocket clip for tip-up carry, the 252 Trunk is a unique, utilitarian powerhouse that brings bold style and unmatched practicality to your EDC loadout.
How To Use
-
Opening: To use the flipper, press your index finger firmly on the tab protruding from the back of the handle and pull down swiftly to flick the blade open. Alternatively, use your thumb on the thumb studs to push the blade open in a smooth arc until it clicks.
-
Cutting: Utilize the flat edge of the cleaver blade for chopping or drawing cuts. The blunt tip allows for safe downward pressure and prevents accidental puncturing of materials beneath your cutting surface.
-
Closing: Turn the knife to access the inside of the handle. Use your thumb to push the metal liner lock bar to the side, clearing the blade's path. Gently fold the blade closed with your index finger, then fully close it.
-
Maintenance: Keep the pivot mechanism clean and free of pocket lint. Apply a drop of knife oil occasionally for smooth deployment. Wipe the blade clean and dry after each use.
