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.
I just received my new Buck 301 Stockman with Paperstone green scales. It's a real eyecatcher and might end up as a safe queen. I might need to get another 301, to add to my EDC collection.

sharpen your knife !!!
I have to agree, nice knife - the B&C emblem is well done and dresses the knife nicely. OH
Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark
Thanks to the generosity of Mr. Rick, this knife is now mine and it is a beauty; came to me today via the July 2013 AAPK give-away. Since Mr. Rick's photo's are much nicer than mine I will let his do the talking. Thanks Rick!
