OVERVIEW

The Hoodlum is built for ultimate survival. Based on Ron Hood's design and built to Buck's quality standards, the 

Hoodlum helps ensure survival in extreme conditions. It is light enough to carry in a sheath, but heavy duty 

enough for any task out in the wilderness. The handle is built with a Shock Mitigation System (SMS) to 

alleviate shock and wasted energy when chopping. It has a large finger choil for providing control while 

whittling or other detailed activities. A groove is cut into the blade spine for scoring bone, bending wire, 

removing pots from a camp fire, or other small tasks. Also, the Micarta handles can be removed to create 

a spear by lashing a branch to the tang of the blade. There is an integrated hammer and lanyard hole in the 

butt of the handle and it comes with a heavy duty nylon sheath. The Hoodlum will serve all your survival needs 

from protection to food prep while out in the wilderness. Made in the USA

AVAILABLE FEATURES AND OPTIONS

 

5160 ALLOY

Commonly known as spring steel, 5160 has excellent shock absorbing properties making it resilient to shattering and extremely durable as a knife steel. We harden to 57-58 Rc to maximize its performance.

 

CLIP

The crescent tip makes the blade thinner with a sharper point. This shape provides good control for detail work and cutting in tight places. It is also well suited for intentional punctures like new holes in your belt, etc. While the point of the blade is effective for detail work, it's not as strong as the thicker points on drop points and skinners.
