I have the Buck Tempest which is the same style but with a 3.125" combo blade and I've not been happy with it. The liner lock is extremely hard for me to use. It difficult to get good pressure on the jimping and it is really stiff to disengage. It might just be mine though. Also with the larger blade, I would not feel comfortable taking off the safety, as I have also cut my self from the top false edge. Maybe the Edge is a better size for the design.
Love ur vids, i Have the buck rush as well, same as you. Also, have Kershaw Chive, Kershaw Leek, and Smith and wesson, Swat, hidden release. But one question, what would you reccomend for sharpening these knives? money isnt an issue so im looking to get a sharpening kit that will put a nice razor edge on it every time.
@goMerXxV2 I use a combination of things. First, for edges that need real work, I use the diamond file from my Leatherman on them. After that, I use Croc Stick honing rods. If the edge just needs a little touching up, I'll go straight to the rods. I find it's mostly a matter of good technique, and stropping at the right angle. If you get that down, you can get a razor edge on almost any knife.
ah this knife....mines seen hell and back. clip broke, tip of the blade snapped off..yet its still my personal favorite knife! other than cleaning it, ive NEVER had a single issue with it, no sharpening, hell ive never even had to tighten a screw! i got this thing with me everywhere i go
I've used a blue Rush 290 as my EDC for a couple of years now and it's been great. No complaints really, and I do actually like the locking mechanism you removed. Works great for me though I understand why you removed it. With oversized pants being a little passe pocket space has become more valuable so I just bought a Gerber Mini Fast Draw but I'll probably also pick up a SOG Blink. Those two are much smaller knives.
This is actually the older design of the 290, which I personally prefer to the new design which integrates the Buck design rolling cam lock. Good review though, keep it up
I bought one about 7 years ago. Best knife I've ever owned! Good video.

@TheLateBoyScout How much does this knife cost?

Hey man, it would honestly mean the world if you do a review on the Buck Lite. It's very cheap, $20 or so. Thanks!
