Buck Knives was started by a young Kansas blacksmith’s apprentice named Hoyt Buck who was looking for a better way to temper steel so it would hold an edge longer and his unique approach produced the first Knife in 1902.
Making each knife by hand using worn-out file blades as raw material, his handy work was greatly appreciated during World War II. Therefore, after the war, Hoyt and his son Al moved to San Diego and set up shop as H.H. Buck & Son in 1947.
In 1964, Al revolutionized the knife industry by introducing the Model 110 Folding Hunter and his folding ”lockblade” knife made him a leader in the cutlery industry. However, although Hoyt and Al’s ingenuity may have put the company on the map, it is their ongoing commitment to developing innovative new products and improving what they already have by third and fourth generation family members that have made it the successful knife maker it is today.
