Buck Knives is a 4th generation family run company based in Post Falls, Idaho. They’ve maintained a loyal following over the years, thanks to consistent workmanship and high quality materials. They were founded in 1902 in San Diego, California, and were primarily making all their knives by hand until the 1950s, when they started to expand their production. In 1964 Buck Knives introduced the Buck Model 110 Folding Hunter, which features a strong and reliable lock-back mechanism, and has become one of the most popular knives ever made. Buck Knives continue to produce their classic designs, as well as pioneering new affordable and pragmatic knives for hunting, fishing, and everyday use. Buck Knives primarily use 420HC steel in their blades with a top notch heat treatment process developed by Paul Bos, which produces a versatile edge with great corrosion resistance that is able to get razor sharp with minimal effort, a great combination of qualities for a knife intended for use in the field, skinning and butchering big game.
