History
The first Buck Knife was made in 1902 by Hoyt Buck, a blacksmith working out of Kansas. He was trying to develop a more effective method of tempering steel so that when formed into a blade the edge would be maintained for a longer period. He used worn-out file blades as the raw material. The knives quickly became a big seller and were used by the American Military in World War II. After the war, Buck moved to San Diego with his wife and son, Al. Together he and his son continued their custom knives manufacturing business. Their store was called H.H. Buck and Son. Al kept the business going after his father passed away.
Eventually, Al Buck incorporated in 1961 in San Diego California but remained a family-owned business. Al introduced his son Chuck into the knife industry from a young age and began grooming him to take over the mantle of the family company. 1964 saw the Buck company’s first big product burst into the mainstream with the Buck Model 110 Folding Hunter.
Chuck remained in the company for decades, serving as the President and CEO until he passed the reins to his son CJ in 1999. The Buck legacy has stayed in the family for four generations.
