Oldies But Goodies

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.

Oldies But Goodies

Post by Spectrum »

Here's a couple of the Bucks in my collection: a Nemo diving knife and a Model 121. I bought the Nemo in 1970 in a Navy Exchange store in Virginia while I was learning to SCUBA dive. I encountered an occasional shark while diving but never had to defend myself with it, but I think it would be up to the task.

Great looking knives. I'd be interested to know what you paid for the 124 waaaay back in '70.

Thanks for the comments. I don't remember what I paid for the Nemo but I doubt it was much more than $30.00.
