Buck 366 Rival III Folding Knife with Bantam Handle BU14235

The Buck 366 Rival III is built for those who need a dependable folder that can take on serious tasks without weighing them down. With a 3.625-inch drop point blade crafted from Buck’s proven 420HC stainless steel, this knife strikes a strong balance between corrosion resistance, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. The satin finish keeps glare to a minimum and holds up well under regular wear, making it a solid choice for the field, shop, or everyday use.

This blade deploys easily thanks to dual thumb studs, and once open, the lockback mechanism secures it with confidence. The handle is made from black injection-molded nylon, offering a strong, lightweight platform that fits the hand comfortably. Its textured grip and ergonomic shaping give you solid control whether you're slicing rope, breaking down boxes, or working through tougher material. Built off the same frame as the popular Bantam series, the Rival III takes the familiar feel of that platform and pairs it with a more robust blade.

Weighing just 3 ounces, this folder rides light in the pocket without sacrificing capability. A stainless steel tip-up pocket clip keeps it accessible and secure during daily carry. At 4.75 inches closed, it’s compact enough for EDC but offers plenty of blade when opened. Backed by Buck’s Forever Warranty and proudly made in the USA, the Rival III is a no-nonsense tool for those who rely on their gear every day.
