This "Best Of" honoree brings together two of the biggest names in outdoor knives: Buck and Mayo. With a tradition dating back to 1902, Buck Knives has been providing outdoorsmen, the police and even the military with top-notch knives. Tom Mayo has been making exceptional custom knives since 1981. He's so attuned to details and craftsmanship that there's a two-year backlog of orders. If you lack the patience of a saint, you do have an alternative. You can purchase a Buck's 172 Mayo TNT. This is one super-sharp knife, both in the sense of its blade and its looks. The knife is made of titanium, while the blade is made of tough S30V steel. The blade can be deployed with one hand if your other is occupied. And the Buck's 172 Mayo TNT also comes with a pocket clip, a good thing since the knife weighs only 2.7 ounces. In short, this knife is, in the words of Jimmy "JJ" Walker: dyno-mite!

From independent research, we selected the Buck's 172 Mayo TNT as a 3LUXE "Best Of". To see our other Outdoor Knife selections visit our Outdoor Knife Overview.
