is this a good beginer knife

Yes it is, I've never thrown knives before, and after a few tries with this I started to get the point in 2/3 times

This knife is good for beginners, I suggest some research on knife boards to keep your blade sticking
1392303
For throwing I prefer you not use this one. This is because its single side blade which requires proper throwing technique so that you don't damage the blade I suggest you get dual edged throwers Because they really teach beginners the technique

Its not balanced very well you will really have to work to stick these knives I wouldn't recommend these for noobs

I own the knife and I'm really pleased with it. I'm not an expert but from what I've read those two styles of Steel are virtually the same.if it were me I would trust the buck website over other information. If you buy the knife I'm sure you'll be happy with it I am with mine.

I don't have an answer for this because I bought it as a Christmas gift. We don't have expensive knives either but the one we have has a smooth side and a rough side and my husband likes it real well. I don't know what this one has, it was just on my son-n-law's Christmas list.

A very good knife for the price. Good looking and sharp. I have not used it on a rabbit or deer.You can't go wrong for the price. MDH

Yes, it is. It is a nice knife. I like it, only thing the screws were a little bit loose. I lost one but was able to get it back on. Maybe you could screw them on tighter as soon as you get yours.

Yes it is good so far. I initially went for the look of it, since I wanted a tanto style blade. The last Tech I had, the locking mechanism began to fail much earlier than I would have liked. I have not experienced a similar problem yet.

Actually I would recommend then for beginners however the end split on one after the second throw. They feel great and have a nice weight but I had one faulty knife out of the three

The knife seems to be high quality, and is stainless steel. I haven't tried to sharpen it yet, but it should be as easy as any knife. A honing steel can also be used if you take care to follow the curved edge.

This is a serious knife, as a parent this your choice. It would be a great knife for a scout or if your kid is a camper. It has a strong blade and will take the abuse. It is high carbon steel so it can rust if not cared for. It's also a way to teach him or her how to sharpen or care for a knife. I hope this helps.

This is a good knife for the price. It slices very thinly, if you work at it. It is your effort that makes this a good knife. Nothing sticks to the blade that would stick to some of my much more expensive knives. I recommend this knife.

Yes it is. Excellent quality and extremely sharp straight out of the box. I truly can't complain - an excellent knife.

6" hands down, KA-BAR-22 is a great beginner knife, but I also would check out the shcrade line as Jim suggested.

it's a great starter for knife sharpening, but if you have some high end knives with good steel, i would buy the apex edge wet stones. That's what alot of people are doing. They buy the unit , but upgrade to Apex edge wet stones. I'm going to do that in the near future. The stones that it comes with are fairly decent and will get your lower grade steels pretty razor sharp (AUS8, 8CR13MOV, etc)

I have had this knife for 3 months and nothing bad with any of them, in fact was thinking to buy the same as a gift

This knife is good for everything. It's fast opening, the lock is very good, and the edge seems to keep very well. Also, the price point of this knife is very good, its cheap enough to keep them in a backpack, on a boat, with your horses, or anywhere else and never really worry because it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. This knife will do you just fine for cutting ropes or any daily activity. I recommend this knife over a Kershaw Blur, or a Gerber Applegate FAST knife. I like it better than those two. Get one, hell, get 12!
