Is anybody from the Buck factory, a member here on AAPK?

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.

Is anybody from the Buck factory, a member here on AAPK?

Post by orvet »

Just a thought guys, has anyone invited Chuck Buck or Joe Hauser to join us here in the Buck forum on AAPK?
I know they're both on the Buck forum at BF. In fact, I noticed that Chuck often answers questions there personally.
I had a nice visit with Chuck and Joe at the OKCA show this last April. Both are nice guys and certified knife nuts. I think they belong here with us. :mrgreen:

Just a thought.
Anybody else have any thoughts on this?
I have Joe's e-mail somewhere and would be happy to send him an e-mail invite he and Chuck to join us here.

What do you think?

I like that idea Dale. They could add a lot should they decide to participate. And maybe they could show some old 110 boxes for Mossdancer.:lol:

Hey Dale,
I personally think that it is a great idea to invite them to join us knife nuts here. I have never talked to either one of them personally.

UPDATE:
I called Joe Houser yesterday and left a voice mail inviting him to join us.
I haven't heard back from him yet, but Thanksgiving is almost here so he is likely busy.
