Buck knife ID

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.

Buck knife ID

Post by BhodiZhiffa »

Hello, I’m trying to track down a buck knife. I was young last time I saw the knife, but I remember it being a big 2 blade folding knife, the handle seemed black or dark brown, and it had an oval “window” with a green felt background and a silver running buck. I’m guessing the knife was probably manufactured in the late 70s or 80s. My dad lost his years ago cleaning a deer and I’d like to replace it, but I’m having little luck finding it on the internet. A little help with a model may help.

Thanks
Bhodi

Maybe the 5 and 1/4 inch closed length Buck Folding Hunter 317?

Sure it wasn't a Camillus? The "Buck" label gets thrown around a lot when it comes to hunting knives. Hope this helps.

Glad I was able to help and I like the looks of that knife.

::hmm:: Might have to find one for myself with the blue shield . . .
