BUCK KNIVES. Inventiveness is a family legacy. ISD is the official importer of Buck Knives for Bulgaria. A young Kansas apprentice blacksmith named Hoyt Buck was looking for a better way to temper steel so that it would maintain a sharp edge for longer. His unique approach led to the creation of the first Buck knife in 1902. Hoyt crafted each knife by hand, using worn-out blades as raw material. His skilled craftsmanship was highly valued during World War II. Hoyt's eldest son, Al, moved from the Pacific Northwest to San Diego, California. Hoyt and his wife Daisy joined their son Al and his young family, and in 1945, they opened a shop called "H.N. Buck & Son." After his father's death, Al continued the handcrafting of knives and the business until the founding of the "BUCK Knives Inc." corporation in 1961. Over time, Al introduced his son Chuck to the knife business from a young age. When Chuck grew up, he and his wife Lori took part in the company’s establishment. In 1964, they introduced the revolutionary 110 Folding Hunter model, which made "Buck Knives" a leader in the field. Chuck led the company for many years before passing the reins to his son CJ in 1999. Chuck remained active as Chairman of the Board until his death in 2015. His legacy continues to this day.
Buck’s Folding Hunter was created in 1963 when Al Buck decided that a revolutionary folding lockblade knife was needed by outdoorsmen who wanted a sturdy knife but did not want to carry a long fixed-blade knife. He was right and the result proved to be the key to the company’s future.
One of America’s best-selling knives is now available as an automatic! The 110 Auto is easily deployed with the push of a button, readying the 420HC blade quickly and efficiently. Featuring the same classic Macassar Ebony Dymondwood handles and brass bolsters as the nonautomatic 110 you love, the 110 Auto will easily become a new collectible.
