Blue Bantams!

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.

Blue Bantams!

Post by cody6268 »

Previously, the only solid color Blue Bantam was an anniversary special run for Colt Firearms. Expensive and limited run. Also, the base was (my personal favorite) 284 mid-size Bantam.

Looks like ag equipment manufacturer Kuhn has one (even though company colors are red...), based on the full-size 285 Bantam. A

I assume it may be a color Buck offers to promo products companies, as the Knights of Columbus have one as well. But, oddly it's not something I can buy from Buck.



$54 though. Way too rich for my blood. I'll stick with my orange one--an older Cabela's SFO. Would be neat if these had more widespread availability. I'm not spending $50+ on a $25-30 knife.

I’ve got a couple of Buck Bantam models, both wearing camo. I like them and think they are a good bargain.
