Description

The Buck 477 Caping Knife (B477-CM-O) was designed as a specialized hunting knife for caping and field dressing game animals. Its compact fixed-blade design allows hunters to perform delicate cuts while maintaining control during skinning or processing tasks.

The knife features a modified caping blade with an integrated gut hook, which allows hunters to open the hide without puncturing internal organs. The blade was produced from 420HC stainless steel, a material widely used by Buck Knives for its balance of corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of sharpening.

The camouflage handle provides a secure grip while helping the knife blend into hunting environments. Its ergonomic design allows users to choke up on the blade for fine control during detailed work such as removing hides or trimming around antlers.

This lightweight hunting knife typically includes a durable nylon sheath for belt carry, making it easy to access while processing game in the field. Although the 477 caping knife was once a popular option among hunters, Buck Knives has discontinued this model and replaced it with newer hunting knife designs.
