Buck 526 C scout knife

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 526 C scout knife

Post by 268bull »

Picked up a Buck Scout knife for good price last weekend. It's a single blade lockback, with the " Be Prepared and Scout logo " engraved on the brushed nickel finish handle. I have 3 books which I refer to for tracing background on my knives. Two of them mention that Buck made a Cub Scout knife but has a different pattern # assigned to it. This knife I purchased has Buck, over 526 C, over U.S.A.. The closest I've found is a Buck 503 which they advertise as a " Gents Knife ". Just to mention, the C after 526 indicates Bucks dating pattern, which in this case C= 1995. Does anyone else here have the same Scout knife or familiar with this pattern. Thanks, Bull

My apologies to the site. I meant to post this under the all scout knife thread and I pushed the wrong key. If the moderator chooses, please re-locate, I guess to the Buck forum. Again, my bad, my apologies ::dang:: Bull

Pinnah, sorry for the slow response. No can do with the pics. Something is amiss with my camera. When I get to uploading, it just runs and runs and runs, but no pics. Not sure what the problem is exactly. If you can access a pic of Buck's 503, I believe it is, they call it their Country Gent, this scout knife is identical to it. Only difference that I can tell is that the knife I have has the Boy Scout emblem engraved on the mark side of the knife's brushed handle. Believe me, I realize the importance of having a pic, and I will provide it when I get my uploading problem solved. Closed, the knife measures 2 7/8's inches, the blade being 2 inches. I'm not a big Buck follower, however, it's a nice little lockback. ::tu:: Bull
