Buck 658 Pursuit Pro Small Hunting Knife - Ultimate Field Performance

When the backcountry tests your gear, the Buck 658 Pursuit Pro Small rises to the challenge. Crafted for hunters who demand reliable performance in harsh conditions, this fixed-blade knife pairs Buck’s renowned heat-treated S35VN steel with a design that stays sharp in the field and resharpens with ease when you have a moment at camp.

Purpose-built edge for field hands and tight deadlines

The 3 3/4" drop point blade rides at a sturdy 0.110" thickness, delivering clean skinning, precise field dressing, and controlled slicing whether you’re processing a single animal or multiple game—without sacrificing control or safety. S35VN steel combines impressive edge retention with easier maintenance on the trail, so you stay ready without needing a full workshop.

Rugged, reliable construction

A full tang runs the full length of the handle, providing unmatched rigidity and durability during heavy-duty cutting tasks. The contoured, high-visibility handle is built from glass-filled nylon/Versaflex for a secure grip that won’t slip when your hands are wet, muddy, or cold. At 8" overall, the Pursuit Pro Small strikes a balance between nimble handling and steadfast strength, all while keeping weight to about 3.3 oz for extended use without fatigue.

Ready-to-go in the field

Included with the knife is a heavy-duty nylon sheath with a belt loop, ensuring quick access as you move through cover and terrain. Made in the USA with Buck’s Forever Warranty, this knife is built to perform season after season, trip after trip.

Ideal for who and when

This knife is an indispensable tool for backcountry hunters, guides, and serious outdoor enthusiasts who want reliable performance, a blade that can be sharpened on-site, and a tool that remains steadfast from skin to cap to quarter. While often grouped with kitchen tools and camping gear in broad listings, the Pursuit Pro Small is purpose-built for field dressing and skinning, delivering practical advantages you won’t find in lighter, less durable options.

Practical tips for use and care

Keep the blade clean and dry after use, wipe the edge with a dulling cloth or sheath oil if you’re in harsh conditions, and carry the included sheath for protection and quick access. In the field, a quick, controlled touch-up with a portable sharpener will refresh the edge without sacrificing performance. Trust in Buck’s design—and in the Pursuit Pro Small to handle the realities of backcountry hunting with precision and reliability.
