Buck 813 Work-Man

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 813 Work-Man

Post by wazu013 »

I picked up a Buck 813 Work-Man today. It is a very stout 3 blade electrican's mate. I am wondering if it was a contract knife and how long it was produced? Actually I just would like to know more about it. I put in an old 112 sheath and slid it on my belt.
Thanks,
Mike

WAZ,

I don't collect these but have interest in the 300Series Workmans...someone in another forum site talked about them recently I will try to find that for you. I believe they came in three or four different versions. Were displayed in stores in clam-packs and boxes. They are a Buck product will try to find when they got started or bring the other forum info over here........300bucks

300BUCKS,
That would be great. The one I own is tang stamped BUCK over 813 / over USA making it a 1993. It is a serious worker for sure. Now I'm looking for a mint one to collect.
