Description The Buck 698 Ferrox is a modern manual folding knife designed for everyday carry and practical cutting tasks. This silver-handle version combines a black oxide-coated D2 tool steel blade with a lightweight anodized aluminum handle, giving the knife a clean, contemporary appearance while keeping its closed profile suitable for pocket carry. The 3.375-inch blade uses a reverse tanto shape, a geometry well suited to controlled utility cuts, opening packages, trimming cord and handling the routine chores commonly encountered at work, around camp or during daily activities. Its blade measures 0.110 inch thick, providing a useful working profile without turning the Ferrox into a bulky carry knife. A crossbar locking mechanism secures the blade in the open position and can be operated from either side of the handle. Dual thumb studs also support convenient manual opening for right- or left-handed users. When the job is finished, the knife folds to a compact 4.50-inch closed length. The silver anodized aluminum handle has a shaped profile and textured gripping areas that help provide a controlled hold while preserving the streamlined character of the design. A deep-carry pocket clip keeps the Ferrox positioned discreetly in a pocket, and its removable, reversible configuration allows the carry arrangement to be adapted for either side. The integrated lanyard attachment point provides another carrying or retention option without requiring a separate accessory. At a published product weight of 3.20 ounces, the 698 Ferrox offers a practical combination of useful blade length, modern operation and manageable everyday portability. This exact variant is the silver anodized model supplied in Buck Knives boxed configuration.
