Buck Knives

Buck Knives is an American manufacturer of knives. The company is located in Post Falls, Idaho. The company traces its roots to over a century ago. Though the first incarnation of this business didn't come about until 1947, its founder was a blacksmith apprentice in 1902. His early experiences were a great influence on what he would create later in life.

On April 18, 1963, Buck Knives introduced the first folding lock-blade knife. It became world famous, known as the Buck Folding Hunter Model 110. It had a four inch blade and a high-tension lock.

This knife became strongly linked with public association. For this reason, many people call all forms of folding lock-blades, "buck knives." This is in spite of the fact that the term is a trademark. It is also done in spite of the fact that the company creates many other forms of blades.
