BUCK KNIVES - THE COMPANY HISTORY
Buck knives are arguably the most famous American-made knives, known and respected worldwide for their high quality, for blades that hold an edge, and for the Lifetime Guarantee that backs them up.

Buck Knives is a strong corporate entity, with a manufacturing facility covering 4.5 acres under one roof in El Cajon, California, just east of San Diego. But when the first Buck knife was made in 1902, it was a young Kansas blacksmith apprentice named Hoyt Buck who used his imagination to find a new, better way to temper steel so it would hold an edge much longer.

Hoyt made each knife by hand, using worn-out file blades as his raw material. During World War II, he made as many as he could to help America's war effort. After the war, he moved to San Diego, where he and his oldest son, Al, formed H.H. Buck & Son in 1947. Al carried on when Hoyt died in 1949 and led the company through the next critical years in its history.

Buck was still making knives from discarded file blades until 1961, when the firm was incorporated. In 1963, Al Buck designed the Model 110 Folding Hunter, and when it was brought to the market in 1964; this lockblade literally revolutionized the knife industry. It propelled the Buck brand name to a position of prominence, establishing a leadership role it has never relinquished.

Today, the fast-growing company is headed by the third and fourth generations of this famous knife-making family: Chuck Buck, Chairman of the Board; and his son, CJ Buck, President and CEO. Under their guidance, the company's standard of excellence in quality and craftsmanship remains strong. They continue to emphasize product development as integral to the progress of the company and serving the needs of its customers.

Buck knives are designed for all types of users-whether they are hunters or fishermen, hikers or campers, military or law enforcement, knife collectors, workers on the job, or people doing everyday tasks. The company's mission focuses on product quality, product development and commitment to its dealers and customers.
