Mr. Chuck Buck, Chairman of Buck Knives, has passed away.

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.

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

Man, another icon has passed, condolences to his family. ::pray:: I don't think anyone wouldn't recognize his popular and often copied 110 pattern folding hunter. I was fortunate to pick up this skinning knife with Chuck and CJ's signature on the blade. Their Buckmaster fixed blade is another useful piece of skilled design and art. He is leaving some really big shoes to be filled. ::nod::

The knife world is saddened by this news as Buck Knives has been an icon in the knife industry.

RIP Mr Buck. Your legacy will live on every time a father's son's eyes light up as he gives him his first Buck 110.

My Offical notification of Mr. Bucks passing.

Here is BCCI quote from Bladeforum.

Subject: Chuck Buck has passed away

Friends,
Many of you may already know this but Chuck Buck left this world late Friday night to spend eternity with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our loss is Heaven's gain and he will be missed greatly. Funeral arrangements are pending and I expect them to be made public sometime Monday. Please keep Lori, CJ, Heidi, Marilee, Joe and the rest of the Buck family in your prayers. Obviously, there are also many Buck Knives employees who are greatly saddened by Chuck's passing. He was loved by so many and a highly respected man. The entire cutlery world has lost an icon.

BCCI members, the March newsletter is at the printer. The June issue will primarily consist of tributes and remembrances of Chuck. I encourage you to email your thoughts, stories and remembrances to John (or me) for inclusion in that issue. We have lost a friend whose support was incalculable.

Best regards,
Larry

Will post other info when I receive it.

I just gave my 13 year old nephew his first 110 this last Christmas.
My uncle gave me my first 110 around the same age. 30+ years ago.

110's are a tradition around here.

Chuck will be missed! God Bless the Buck family ::pray::
