Buck Hunting Knives - name by itself conjures up images for most hunters. Cold fall mornings, shivering in the dark to generate heat, strapping on your equipment. Dad saying “Don’t forget your buck knife”. Discovering that you forgot it anyway when you needed it.

Buck Knives are a right of passage. Even though I had several Hunting Knives by the time I was old enough to hunt, I wasn’t really a hunter until I received my first Buck. Growing up, a Buck Knife was the standard single-edged fixed bladed tool of the hunter.

Buck Hunting Knives are made with a full metal tang and a handle finished with a solid leather binding. I’ve never seen a fixed blade buck knife with a loose handle. And that says it all.

Other blades fade away with missing parts. Buck Knives get handed down or lost in the cold current of a mountain stream.

These knives are still made by the Buck family. Since the turn of the last century, the Buck family products have been fulfilling the needs of millions of outdoorsmen. In this era, the same quality inherent in the original designs can be found today, but the variety has increased exponentially.

Today you can purchase Folding Hunting Knives and all purpose knives, commemorative editions and multi-purpose fishing knives. Some of the pieces that have been specifically made for collecting are indeed works of art. There is exquisite detail with some editions sporting turquoise and silver or opal and mother-of-pearl.

There is an avid fan base for the Buck brand today (the Buck collector’s Club has over 1500 members). Their knives can be found in private collections ranging in scope from my teenage son to very serious collectors.

Folding Pocket Knives can sell for $100 and my old knife (being gently washed by the glacial melt) can be had for $350 or more. There are Folding Hunting Knives conventions held throughout the country with some that exclusively feature Buck Hunting Knives.

The quality and care placed by old Hoyt and Al Buck into their first pieces can be had today. Whether you are looking for a rare Yellowhorse edition or a sturdy blade to pass on to the next generation, Buck speaks of quality and time and honor. My Buck gets used out on the farm and I worry about it when it’s misplaced. My son’s blade sets above his computer – a mark of his transition toward manhood.
