Highlights

The Smidgen™ from Buck Knives is a novel approach for a cutting instrument; we never have seen anything quite like it, wondering aloud if it could cut anything. It is a mere 1 7/8” inches long, holding the blade is an injection-molded sheath, which clips to your belt with a carabineer, or if preferred you can drop in your pocket. The carabineer is complete with an integrated bottle opener for your favorite beverage. The Smidgen™ is 420HC Stainless Steel, 420 is standard martensitic steel, the HC are initials for High Carbon, rust and stain resistant, and the favored metal for knifes. The High Carbon allows the steel to sharpen and keep an edge, better than just stainless steel. I have sharpened with a wet stone and it keeps a good edge, well enough for what we use a knife of its size. I like the Smidgen™ it is off beat, excluesive, and dandy looking most importantly, it performs.
