Buck 664 Alpha Hunter Select Gray – Field-Ready Fixed Blade for Big-Game Hunting

The Buck 664 Alpha Hunter Select Gray is built for the demanding realities of large-game processing, delivering dependable performance from first light to long days in the field. Crafted with a heat-treated 420HC stainless steel blade, this knife blends edge retention with corrosion resistance to handle damp, rugged environments without sacrificing control. The result is a tool you can trust when clean, precise cuts matter most.

From the moment you grip it, you’ll notice the thoughtful balance between leverage and maneuverability.

Measuring 8.375" overall and weighing 4.85 oz, this knife strikes a practical balance between durability and agility for extended field use. These dimensions make it a capable companion for backcountry hunts and client-guided processing alike.
