Buck 691 Zipper Guthook Fixed Blade Black Rubber 4.25in Satin Blade BU1221

The hunt doesn’t end when the animal is taken—it continues in the careful work of field dressing, where precision, respect, and responsibility matter most. In that moment, the right tool makes all the difference. Back in 1993, CJ Buck, a fourth-generation leader in the legendary Buck family, set out to solve a problem that plagued countless hunters: gut hooks that snagged, tore, and slowed down the process. His answer was a knife so smooth, so efficient, that it earned the simple yet fitting name, the Zipper. Purpose-built to open game with ease, the Buck 691 Zipper Guthook Fixed Blade Knife embodies generations of craftsmanship and innovation. With every use, you’re not just holding a tool—you’re carrying on a legacy of American ingenuity and trust in the field.

The Buck 691 Zipper was designed for hunters who demand both reliability and versatility. Its 4.25-inch 420HC stainless steel blade delivers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for repeated use season after season. The precision-engineered guthook is crafted to glide through hide without tearing, opening game as smoothly as a jacket zipper. Paired with a classic drop-point profile, the blade excels at everything from the first incision to detailed skinning work, giving hunters a single tool capable of handling the job from start to finish.

Comfort and control are equally important when working in challenging conditions. The textured rubber handle provides a secure, non-slip grip, whether it’s cold, wet, or muddy, ensuring the knife stays steady in your hand. The brass guard and pommel not only give the knife balance and strength but also add a traditional touch that speaks to the heritage of the Buck name. At just 6.6 ounces with an overall length of 8.5”, the knife strikes the perfect balance between heft and maneuverability, giving you the confidence to work efficiently without fatigue.

The Buck 691 Zipper comes with a heavy-duty black nylon sheath, built for durability and equipped with a belt loop so your knife is always close at hand. Whether you’re in the backcountry or working from camp, quick access and secure carry are guaranteed. Best of all, this knife is proudly made in the USA, upholding the Buck family’s dedication to American craftsmanship and quality.
