Buck Knives

The company and its work

Hoyt Buck made his first knife in 1902 while searching for a better way to temper steel so that it would hold an edge longer. More than a century later, Buck remains one of the most recognizable names in American knives. The company eventually established its manufacturing operation in Post Falls, Idaho, and its 1964 introduction of the Model 110 Folding Hunter helped define the modern folding hunting knife.
