Buck 750 Redpoint Folding Knife - Good Camping Buddy, A Review

This is my first Buck knife. The 750 Redpoint is a folding knife with a locking mechanism that needs to be engaged to be able to extend or fold the blade. It is 10.5 cm folded and 18.0 cm extended. The blade is 7 cm long.



The knife comes with an integral pocket clip as well as a bottle opener under a ring at the end of the knife. This knife has a serrated section about 40% of the blade. The yellow hard plastic handle facilitate visibility.



The locking mechanism is the button with the red triangle at the edge of the hilt. Using your thumb to engage the button, you concurrently use your pointy finger to the gear-like serration at the hilt to move the knife from the folded position.

Buck gives a lifetime warranty on this product. Retail price in Malaysia is RM319.00. I was able to get for RM271.15.

Overall, a good folding knife to have when going camping.

Daiso Ceramic Fruit Knife - Cheap and Sharp, A Review

I found a small ceramic knife from Daiso Japan costing only RM5.90. Comes in a variety of colors. I took the blue as it looks the nicest of the bunch. Really sharp but brittle.



This knife is approximately 17 cm long with a blade of 8 cm. The handle is hard plastic and it comes with a plastic sheath that fits the blade snugly. There are cut-outs on the sheath that spells out "ERAMIC" (I believe you supposed to read it with the missing "C" made out of the curve at the end of the sheath).

I will use this knife as a letter opener. Hopefully the sharpness will stay on longer than a typical box cutter blade.
