The new black G10 Buck Alpha Guide Elite is a multi-purpose field knife built for hunting and rigorous outdoor use. Upgraded to include MagnaCut steel, this knife features a long blade edge with an upswept drop point blade. The high-panel flat grind strengthens the blade and jimping on the top of the blade gives you the ultimate control when using different grips on the knife for detailed work. The machine-textured G10 handle gives you a trusted grip, even in wet conditions. Includes an imported black Kydex sheath with belt attachment. Knives made in the USA. Imported Kydex sheath includes: Black sheath with silver rivets, locking belt loop, adapter plate, and hardware. Kydex sheaths are form-fitted to your knife and will have a very tight fit initially. The sheath will break in and loosen up a bit, but should still securely hold your knife. It is normal to see plastic shavings after the first few uses. Sheath is compatible with Teklok. What is MagnaCut? MagnaCut is an exotic, powder metallurgy stainless steel. It has excellent toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, striking a balance between all of the properties that make a high-performance steel. MagnaCut does not have any performance tradeoffs like other exotic steels. It was developed specifically as a knife steel.
