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.
Chris this looks like it's going to be a good forum, I"ll look forward to seeing some of the Buck knives people have. Only have one right now and it's an auto.
on the cutting edge is sometimes not the place to be.

I have only one Buck Pocket Knife. It is a 301 stockman. Dont know how old it is, but I have had it for a long time. Has stainless steel blades that are razor sharp, had it sharpened by a professional knife sharpener who later taught me how to sharpen knives before he quit sharpening knives. This knife holds an edge too. Just use a leather strop to keep it super sharp. I whittle with it a good bit.

It does not cost any more to carry a sharp knife than it does to carry a dull knife
