hey buddie, can you spare a buck?

Hoyt Buck produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt and his son Al moved to San Diego and set up shop as H.H. Buck & Son in 1947. Al Buck revolutionized the knife industry in 1964 with the infamous Model 110 Folding Hunter. The company's innovative history and attention to quality have made for many great collectible knives.

Yes, I like those also. Many folks wanting to keep the knife used that scroll in the center for engraving their initials or an event and so on. I think there were at least 3 in that series.

Be a great place for a guy to put his wedding date. :mrgreen: My wife's birthday is the 24th of Sept. and married on the 23rd of March - uhh :oops: or was that 23 and 24 the other way around? ::dang:: ::dang::

::hmm:: Well, it's in the computer with a 2 week reminder. :lol: :lol: I need to EDC something like that. :mrgreen:

I also would like to see those come back. Nice knives! ::tu:: ::tu::

Hey Chris, I'm with you - bring back that jigged redbone ::nod::

Here's one a little bit different. Got this as a gift a few years back - hangs out in the tacklebox. Not a bad knife from a utility standpoint.

Great looking Bucks! ::tu::

My first Buck was from the 300-series with black composition handles. Maybe not the prettiest of pocket knives, but I remember that it impressed me a lot as a reliable user!

My last Buck was manufactured in China… It looked OK. I'm curious about it and plan to test it as a user soon. What's going on? Will more and more models be imported in the future..? ::hmm::

Many Buck knives are made in China, the 110 is still in the US and those of the custom shop. However I've stopped buying any 420 HC SS and Buck uses this a lot. They have a heat treat guy that does wonders with it (Boss or something like that). I have a few with that steel that i will customize and sell. I like the CPM S30V, but they charge far to much for it. The metal is difficult to get a good mirror finish so they just use a black coating - likely cheaper than finishing.

So far I have not bought any Chinese Bucks - I just walk away.

I have a couple Buck black composite knives from the 80's, the latest is a Buck 313, a Muskrat. I heard some of those were contracted out to Camilus during this time. I guess China replaced them - I ain't buying a Chinese Buck. ::disgust::
