I have carried a Buck 501 Squire for EDC for 32 years. It has been an excellent knife, holds an edge well, is a nice size to carry in my pocket. No issues with rust or corrosion. Micarta scales have held up well, though the Nickel bolsters are a bit pitted from sharing a pocket with my keys all those years. An excellent knife, I'm planning on getting a second for a spare.

I've been carrying the Buck 501 Squire nearly daily for over 20 years, I'm on my 2nd one and have two others with different scales. I like slimline size, it doesn't feel bulky in my pocket. With a 2-3/4" blade its not to small for most task. It has a drop point which is less prone to breaking the tip in my experience. It holds an edge pretty good and isn't too hard to sharpen. The nickel bolsters don't seem to tarnish and the wood has stayed in nice condition. I've seen no flaws in these knives, and have no real complaints. Needless to say this is my favorite knife.
