BUCK 252 Trunk Black: Compact Cleaver-Style Folding Knife

The BUCK 252 Trunk Black is Buck Knives’ bold introduction to a cleaver‑style folding knife. Built to tackle big tasks with confidence, the Trunk blends rugged cutting power with discreet everyday carry, making it a dependable choice for work, camping, or bustling urban days.

Why this knife stands out

Design meets practicality in a blade that’s broad and capable, yet safe to use in close quarters thanks to its blunt tip. This isn’t a delicate slicer—it’s a tool built for heavy-duty cuts, precise control, and reliable performance when you need it most.

• Blade details: 2 7/8" (7.3 cm) overall blade length with a robust 0.110" thickness for steady power.
• Compact footprint: 4" closed length keeps the knife pocket-friendly without sacrificing grip or leverage.
• Light yet mighty: Weighs 3.1 oz (87.9 g) for daily carry that doesn’t slow you down.
• Durable handle: Black G10 scales provide a secure grip and excellent resistance to heat, cold, chemicals, and impact.

One-handed practicality and secure deployment

Open and deploy with ease using your preferred method—thumb stud, flipper, or a convenient hole. A reliable liner lock ensures the blade stays solidly in place during use, delivering trusted safety when you’re working on quick cuts or long tasks alike.

Carry and accessibility

The built‑in pocket clip keeps the Trunk within easy reach at work, on the trail, or during everyday errands. Its compact size and discreet profile make it a versatile companion for both urban environments and outdoor adventures.

Real-world use cases

Put the Trunk to work breaking down boxes, trimming rope, shaving tinder for a fire, or performing medium-duty kitchen tasks when you’re away from a full kitchen. The blunt tip reduces accidental punctures in tight spaces, while the wide blade provides controlled chops for reliable material removal and task precision.

Care, safety, and warranty

Keep the blade clean and dry after use to preserve the edge, and avoid prying or striking hard objects that could damage the edge. Buck backs the 252 Trunk Black with its Forever Warranty, offering repair or replacement for defects in materials or workmanship for the life of the knife.

Who this is for

Outdoor enthusiasts needing an all‑purpose, discreet folding blade; everyday carry fans seeking serious cutting power in a compact form; and anyone who values a robust, purpose-built knife that’s ready for tougher tasks without bulk.
