Nice Small One

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.

Nice Small One

Post by JK Knives »

My wife was off work yesterday, and we both needed a bit of time away from everything, so we took a little roadtrip. We stopped at an antique shop in Manteno, where Connie spotted this box in a case full of junk knives.

Inside was a nice, unused Buck 525 with a wild turkey on it. Price was $7, so I got it. All in all, a nice day out!

Nice JK! As a Buck knife fan and an avid turkey hunter I think you got a great piece there - congrats. OH

Thats a nice find! My grandpa found one very similar to that the other day. It had a black bear instead.

The problem with getting lucky like that is, you start to expect it. :lol:

Congratulations. Great find.
