Added to my wish list, thx!
Love the deep cargo pants clip sheath and robust grip.
I've got one clipped to the sternum strap of one of my packs. They're not
as fancy but I've got a couple of the Classic No. 2s for utility knives.

I've no idea why the Classic is more expensive than the Companion now.
iirc when I bought them they were cheaper.

TY for your review, at this price one can't help but add another!
I think the thickness of the blade may be the metric .90 vs. .125.
It's not all that common for sheath knives to offer large field clips, most are belt loop configuration.
What baffles me is how a nation like Sweden can hit the marks on a product like this and keep the price so reasonable in this global economy without subbing it out to Jina.

Yes, metric all the way I think.

This is indeed a mystery of the universe! I also find it fascinating
that they are actually produced in sweden, and they remain competitive,
at that price!
They do have a factory, and if memory serves, it produces about 10000
blades per day. Perhaps another reason is that Sandvik steel. Since
Sandvik steel is also produced locally, I imagine they can get it
cheaply, quickly, and with a minimal cost of transportation.
Yet another factor is that they are located in the country side, so that enables them to keep salaries lower than in more populated areas.

That warms the heart!
I can tell you that many years ago, each buck knife came with an evangelical pamphlet extolling christian virtues. I don't know if they still do that.
I bought my first buck knife at an army PX back in 1972, and bought several after that. It was model 105 hunting knife.
They are good knives, but not exceptional. You can't hone them past a point, or you'll get a wire edge, but they do they hold up well and are certainly not shabby at all. I've skinned out and dressed many deer with it and it worked just fine. I'd give them a B for the hunting knives, but no more than a C for their pocket knives.
