Hoyt Buck Knife

Hoyt Buck, a blacksmith Kansas, designed his first knife in 1902. His innovation was the development of a new steel quenching process that improved the durability of the edge. Hoyt used thrown file slides to produce his quality product. With his son Al, Hoyt Buck formed HH Buck & Son in 1947. Seventeen years later, it was Al Buck's turn to innovate. Its folding and blocking blade has become world famous wide and the term "Buck knife" has since become an eponym owner for many brands of folding knives.
 A service
The Buck Company produced thousands of tactical blades fixed blades for the US Army during World War II. Airborne Rangers troops, and glider troops were issued these Buck knives as part of their equipment charge when they participated in the invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944.
 Breakthrough
The Buck family had been selling quality knives for decades, but in 1963 Al Buck introduced a new design. The "110 Folding Hunter Model" is, as its name suggests, a knife with a blade that folds into the handle. When the blade is in the open position, it is locked so that it folds into the user's hand.
 Hunt
Some Buck knives, both folding and fixed, are designed specifically used by hunters. After lowering an animal, the hunter makes an incision to open the abdomen to begin dressing. Many knives used for this purpose have a blade with a protruding point called a gut hook. The gut hook function is a matter of preference, and not all hunters use. A Buck knife for hunting usually has a blade between 4 and 5 inches long. Some have a blade with a raw edge, while others have a serrated edge.
