Buck Knives for Hunters

If you are heading out into the wilderness in search of some big game, the biggest fish in the lake or just for some wilderness fun, then you should be sure to take along some good equipment that will help make your venture easier and safer for everyone in the group. The brand of Buck Knives is one of the most popular types of quality hunting knives, as well as kitchen knives and cutlery on the market today.

One of the things that set the Buck line of knives apart from other types of fixed blade hunting knives and kitchen knives is their distinctive shapes. The shape and edging on each model of knives made by Buck are carefully researched for optimal performance for their specific use and then designed to meet those needs and the exacting standards of the company.

Another thing that Buck Knives are known for are the high quality of the materials used in the manufacturing process. The blades are made of fine quality metals, which maintain a very sharp cutting edge for a longer period of time, thus requiring less maintenance and honing.

The Buck Company is acknowledged to be one of the premier hunting knives manufacturers and they have been in business since the early 1940's. The founder of the company, Hoyt Buck, was a blacksmith in Kansas and developed a new technique for heat-treating steel so that the metal would stay sharp much longer than typical tools of the day. At first, Buck used these techniques to help keep the tools of local farmers sharp and to keep them from breaking, which had been a frequent problem in the area he served.

Later, Mr. Buck took this technology and adapted it to making fixed blade knives for hunting and other outdoor endeavors, as well as for kitchen cutlery. During the Second World War, he even donated fixed blade knives to the government, setting up a special manufacturing operation in the basement of a church in order to produce knives for the troops.

In 1947, Hoyt Buck and his son Al, moved to San Diego, California, and set themselves up as quality manufacturers of hunting knives under the name of H. H. Buck & Son. The Buck line of knives were all handmade and so they were more expensive than mass-produced hunting knives and cutlery of the day. However, the quality shone through and people have been willing to pay the extra price for the quality since that humble beginning.

One of the most popular models of Buck Knives was first introduced in the 1960's and it is still a knife that is widely sold today. It is the Buck Folding Hunter Model #110 and is especially favored by hunters who want a high quality folding hunting knife in their pocket. The blade of this folding Buck hunting knife is 4 inches long. In addition, it features a high-tension lock as well as a low pressure release trigger for easy opening. Buck also has many models of knives with fixed blades, which are available for those who prefer not to deal with the cleaning required of folding style knives.
