Buck Knives has been manufacturing folders and fixed blades in Idaho since 1964. Four generations in, CJ Buck runs the same family-owned operation his great-grandfather Hoyt started in 1902. Flagship models like the 110, 112, 119, and 102 are still made domestically—not outsourced to a conglomerate.
Buck runs 420HC with their proprietary cryogenic heat treatment on traditional models, with MagnaCut, 154CM, S30V, and D2 available across their modern lines. Forever Warranty covers defects for life.
