The Buck 503 Prince is a small-format lockback folding knife — a 2-1/2 inch 420HC stainless steel drop-point blade, a lockback mechanism that holds the blade open until you release it, and rosewood handle scales framed by polished nickel-silver bolsters. The compact dimensions put it in pocket-watch territory, weighing little and disappearing into a dress-pant pocket.
Use it as a gentleman’s daily carry, a desk drawer letter opener, a travel knife small enough for everyday tasks without bulk, or a give-as-gift heirloom blade with the polished rosewood and brass-toned bolsters. The drop-point geometry slices and pierces with equal capability, and the 420HC steel takes a fine edge that resharpens easily.
Buck Knives has been making American folding knives since 1902 and manufactures the 503 Prince at its Post Falls, Idaho factory. Every Buck blade carries the Forever Warranty against material and workmanship defects.
