Buck Repair Cost

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 Repair Cost

Post by Aimus Moses »

Has anyone had any dealings with Buck repair before that they wouldn't mind telling? My business with them won't be warranty related and I was wondering if their prices are good on repairs for out of pocket payment? Do they have a set price for blades and handle material and such like Case does? Do they charge labor by the knife or by the hour? Thanks.

Aimus I collected Bucks for a lot of years, and while I no longer do so I do keep an ear out. I've never heard of them charging for repairs. I'm not saying they wouldn't--particularly if the repairs were due to blatant outright abuse--but I'd be surprised.
Quality should not be an accident. So what is the explanation for some of the knives we've seen in the past few years? (from A Knifebuyer's Manifesto)

Thanks coffee. I got in contact with them and found that they are about the same as Case, maybe just a littler lower as far as non-warranty work prices go. Not bad at all.

I have had BUCK re-place broken blades before. The current cost is $10. They only offer the standard 420 steel. Turnaround time is about 2-3 weeks but can be as long as 4-6. But their customer service is the best in the business and you often get more than you pay for from them. ::tu::
