I talked with CJ Buck, CEO/Chairman of Buck Knives about the history of the company. There is a statement that says behind every buck knife there is over 110 years of experience and craftsmanship, take me back and give me the history. My great grandfather HH Buck started making knives in 1902 as an apprentice blacksmith in Leavenworth, Kansas. Eventually moved his family out to the Pacific Northwest, races family just north of Seattle, my grandfather moved down to San Diego. My great grandfather eventually moved in with his son, taught his son how to make knives. The two of them were HH Buck and son, lifetime knives. Their premise was these were knives that will last a lifetime and if you ever have an issue, bring it back and we will fix it, take care of it, give you your money back, whatever. We have now taken that beyond lifetime warranty and made it for ever warranty. We relocated our company from San Diego to pPost Falls, Idaho in 2005 and been here ever since. Reason for the move? We wanted to manufacture in the USA and San Diego was too burdensome.
