The Buck Knives Story - A RMEF Film
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- A young Kansas blacksmith apprentice named Hoyt Buck was looking for a better way to temper steel so it would hold an edge longer. His unique approach produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. The tradition of designing and manufacturing quality knives in the U.S. continues to this day.
The Buck Knives Factory produces 3-4 thousand knives per day in Post Falls, Idaho and employs approximately 300 workers.
"We have been helping people thrive with reliable and trustworthy edged products for over a century. Since our own name is on the knife, our quality, focus, and attention to detail is very personal," says CJ Buck, company CEO & chairman.
An ongoing commitment to developing innovative new products and improvement by third and fourth generation Buck family members, has made Buck the successful knife maker it is today, this is their story.

I was born in 79. Before I was in kindergarten at 5 yrs old, I was aloud to sit and wittle wood on the porch w my little buck pen knife only while my dad was wrenching on his 68 GTO in the driveway. He kept an eye on me. As I got older in the summer I was entering 4th grade and a cub Scout then I received the Buck Ranger. Prolly the most excited I had ever been. We'd go to the local walmart then and in the hunting section there was a tall glass case with red felt lining that held every Buck knife they sold at the time from smallest to largest. I'd look at em as long as they'd let me and my dad would always laugh saying "some day". Naturally I loved the Frontiersman! My Dad was gifted his kalinga when he was 14. The knife of my dreams then. Every few yrs or so on my birthday in August there it was.....a brand new larger Buck knife... Almost climbing the ladder to responsibility and manhood. Now ive owned my own kalinga a hand full of years. A few small differences comparing to the old mans but still awesome. I smile Every time I open the desk door and see it. Takes me back to when I held dads the first time and he laughed saying" some day".
Got my first Buck 119, for my birthday, just turned 63 its awsome. Thats whats wrong with America, not enough companies like this anymore. Stay true north Buck 👍
From St. Maries. Don't ever quit making your knives in Idaho and we won't stop buying them!
Sad actually seeing some of their knives made in China. Worry it’ll only become another Chinese made brand. Only leatherman stays a 💯 American brand. But buck is still a big American brand and hope it’ll stay this way.
Case is 100% American. Several more as well. Just not as big as Buck and Case.
The simple fact that there are 30+ year passionate employees at this company says a lot about where to place the details as a corporation;) Passionate employees truly drive the product to be it's best.
That's a fact
I have a Buck 110 and my daughter has one too. Great knives and a great little film. Thank you from the UK.
Killer video. I don't know what to say, but thank you, Buck family! I just started working at Tompkins Industries, and before working here, I didn't know much about Buck Knives, haha. We distribute Buck knives from the humble Canoe folder to the brauny Camp Knife. In less than 3 months, I now have four Buck knives! They are not just for show. In the hydraulics business dealing with all the chaos of being a technician, these knives remain rock solid(even the 50 year old 112 Ranger). I could not be more proud that I work at a place where I get to sell American made knives for the wonderful people in my city!
I am from New Zealand. I am almost 60 years of age. I have had buck knives for probably 40 plus years. Even living half a world away I had great experience with these knives.
My favorite is a little 2.5 inch blade knife opened. My use with this knife is very demanding.
I am on my 4th.
I have had to return 1 knife for repair. It was returned in almost new presentation.
Plus I was given another almost of similar style.
Buck your brilliant.
Would like to get in contact with you personally.

I just got my first Buck knife two days ago. It's a 110. I'm happy with it. Thank you!
I carry the 110 in my pocket everyday, and never go hunting without my grandfathers 112, and my first Buck knife the 110. I have loved these knives my whole life and am glad they moved to my home state of Idaho. Thanks for a great video on there history.
absolutely phenomenal
Wow what a company and what a dynasty the BUCK family created. I was born in 1961 The year they Inc. got my first buck Knife when I was 12 and I still have it. 👊👍😎
Same here! Tho I got my 119 engraved with my name in 1968...I still have it and will pass to my son someday. They were a great part of San Diego's history...I don't blame them one bit for moving out of Ca.
Buck Knife, truly a great company that makes quality products. I remember the first time I visited their CA plant while in abrasive marketing for 3M. A number of years later I toured their ID plant with my son. I currently carry a 842 as my EDC, it is a great knife. Having visited many cutlery plants in my career, Buck Knife is a one of the best. Made in America and family owned, you can’t beat that.
I live 30 mi. from the factory. It's a real joy to visit their company store and if you ever pass through Post Falls, ID, do stop and check out the museum. It's very cool.
I just bought my first Buck knife yesterday and I'm loving it, glad its from the USA 🇺🇸 🤙
I am from Holland and living now in Spain and Ecuador and I am using Buck knives now for 35 years, the 110, 140, and now the 112 and 110 slim select and I LOVE them. They never let you down. Thank you Buck
Truly the best there is.
Tam 45 yıl sonra benim sahip olduğum en guzel ve en kaliteli, en iyi tasarımı olan bir bıçak ve çakı..SÜPER, SÜPER, SÜPER.. TEBRİKLER. 👍👍👍🙋♂️
Thanks very much I have a 112 with me oll the time I own a 110 and 119 we do a lot of outdoors and hill work from west coast of Scotland 🏴
Just bought a Buck 110. Very beautifully crafted, perfect to take along on the snowmobile trails. My father loves his, never goes on the trails, out on the lake, or simply out at the cabin without it. Money well spent! 🇺🇲
I'm 56 and I've been buying Bucks my whole life. I've never been let down. The 110 is my favorite knife.
Just got passed my dads buck 110 knife from 1968 when he was just 12 years of age! It’s my first buck knife and certainly not my last. Will honor this knife for a long time. Thank you for making a wonderful knife to last forever.
This is fantastic!
I injoyed watching the vido on utube i am a Buck knife 110 fan bought mind in the early 70s (73 -72)i bought anew 110 December 2022 . I recently sent my old Buck 110 to your factory to be refurbished/ 50 years old/.
May 2023i watched a utbe video of a Buck knife that you had refurbished for a utuber it was fantastic and beautifully refurbished it looked great. Sent my 110 in to Post Falls. ID for a refurbish , anxiously waiting for it return. 😊
I bought a Buck 840 Sprint Select Liner Lock Knife Black GFN (3.2" Satin) 0840BKS1-B today, I love the knife and one of the big factors in buying this knife is that it is made in the USA. Thank you for not manufacturing these overseas and keeping the jobs in the USA
What a lucky son of a Buck you are! You get to play with knives all day and have a great head of hair.😊
My 110 was given to me the day I was born from my dad's hunting buddy. Still my hunting knife today... it's in better shape than I am.
I’m 80 yo and got my first Buck in 1968ish, a little 505. Traveling world wide for 40 years has made me go through a few that have been lost or stolen. Have a 501 that went to ‘nam with me and has been back to Buck for repair twice! (Think it’s been used hard?). Have numerous Bucks in my small collection (including a RMEF 480 counterfeit). Finally bought an iconic 110 about 2 years ago. I basically knew the Buck family story but am glad you retold it from CJ’s prospective. Loved visiting the factory in Post Falls a few years ago. Look forward to the next visit.
I have one from 2 generations ago. I carry a modern buck but still a damn good knife.
110 and 119. What else could you need? I treasure my anniversary issues of each.
I love Buck knives. I have had the pleasure of having a few conversations with CJ himself. This video is so well done.
Great video.
Nice place!!
What a great film! Thanks for putting this together... every time I see a new Buck video about their history I pick up some new info... it's great!
My buddy lives in same town. He always telling me he can get any of their knives anytime. I put my order in for a couple 110's for Xmas gifts. 👏
Best warranty in the buisness. Really stand by their products.. forever warranty and they mean it.. and there are some great knife makers with great warranty service.. so to say buck is the best of a good pool like that really says something
Excellent story of a quality knife .Long may you keep making a superb knife.
It's an amazing history. Thanks for sharing.
My first knife was a buck, and I still use it
Love the story,America right here
...
Only bad thing is whenever I go to the website the ones I want are out of stock. Guess that’s good for Buck, but bad for me☹️
I have many and the 119 was my first. I spent my paper route money to buy it when I was 11. Great video tribute.
Got my 119 and 110 and I'll never let them go
Parabéns para vocês maravilhoso produto tem a minha idade 20 de 9 de 1950 👍aqui do Brasil Manaus Amazonas 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷feliz 2022 ! Família BUCK 👍👍
Love Buck Knives It’s a shame they offshore so much of their line now I would gladly pay the extra money for the traditional folders if they made them here
I remember probably 20+ years ago there was a custom knife guy who would take Buck Dukes and Buck Prince's, take them apart, and turn them into custom switchblades!
I wish I could remember that custom knife guy's name! I would Totally LOVE to get a Buck Duke custom switchblade!!!
😎
192 vanguard still going strong!
Man paklite kit is out of stock looking good though
America dream want the new coyote fixed blade when I can get one also would love to try their new skinning knifes but just bought the gerber randy newburg I’ll see how it holds up it’s made in China 🤔
Has anyone got a picture of the 1st Buck knife ever made? Ive been trying to find one for awhile
I am a custom knife maker but whenever I go fishing, hinting or hiking, the Buck 110 always ends up being the knife I bring in my pocket😅
I carry my buck 780 every day with pride
It concerns me a little bit that the employees are grinding on chromium steel with no respiratory protection. Other than some silly bandana. Don't get me wrong I love Buck I just bought a 117 today but that does catch my eye.
I am going to be buying my very first buck knives ICEMAN 864 pocket knife this coming Thursday afternoon at Tractor supply store.
Awesome!
@@rmef yeap it is very Awesome. It will be my favorite knife in my collection of knives.
So if the shield is the word Buck is that Chinese and the hammer Knife and bolt the American product?
Best thing this company did was leave California. Smart move!!
Im willing to bet the property taxes were getting too high as the property values skyrocketed in California.
Would like so much visit Idaho with my 110 on my belt...
Please bring back model 307.asap.old style,please.
I have a 119 that's 10 yrs old, and a folding hunter that is 40plus yrs old both still rzr sharp.
Love Buck knives, hate some of them are now made in china.
I bought a 305 lancer and it said "made in china" on the blade. I had a few buck knives from my teens and always loved them. I remember sending back a cadet that was kind of loose. And a months later it came back, blade tightened up. Anyway, i emailed buck complaining about the Chinese knife. They sent me a nice folding knife for free and explained that they really, really try to make all knives here. But a few are made elsewhere.
