Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- The buck. The other is just a fun toy to play with.
- The Buck. You can field dress a deer with a Buck.
- Buck has a bunch of cool fixed blades that might fit his vibe too.
- Also love the buck, big monster.
- Schickes Buck!
Cons
- You bought a Gerber or a Buck and called it a day.
- Buck’s QC and overall quality is laughable in 2025. Pinned knives that have enormous blade play, horrible grinds, uneven bevels? Gtfoh with that crap
- Eh, Buck has a long-standing reputation for making "good" knives, but in modern times, they're not particularly known for making "great" knives.
- I like the design of the Buck, but don't like the orange

Then buy from a reputable brand so he can brag about it. CRKT, Benchmade, Condor Knife and Tool, Spyder Co or Buck to name some of my personal favorites.
Buck is great but more traditional/old fashioned.
Buck is the exception, their service is stellar.
It was a decent collection for the time, some Case, Buck, and Kershaw knives.
