The Trace Ops introduces a bold, tactical aesthetic into Buck’s lineup, built for function without excess. Its 7Cr17 steel balances hardness and corrosion resistance in a blade shape suited for both precision tasks and controlled puncturing. The skeletonized handle uses aluminum to cut down weight while preserving structural integrity; grip-enhancing jimping aids control under use.
I carry this on urban walks and field chores alike when I need fast access, the flipper action pops the blade with consistent reliability. The liner lock holds firm under load, and the reversible clip lets me switch carry hands. For cutting rope, opening boxes, or light utility work, it delivers solid performance. I advise regular cleaning of the pivot and occasional lubrication to maintain smooth action.
