- Buck has been making knives in the US for over 120 years and with a history like that you are bound to accumulate some amazing stories. We are going around asking Buck employees what's in their pockets and getting the juicy details on some of the most epic Buck Knife stories out there.
Check out a little something we have been working on: fortwild.com/
My Buck story: When I graduated Airborne School at Ft. Benning, GA in 1990, I decided to reward myself by going to the Airborne PX and buying myself two Buck knives. I got a 501 Squire (with sheath) and a 3 blade slipjoint. 33 years later, I still have them both. Both have cleaned and even filleted fish and both have field dressed deer. The only thing that makes me sad is that after I leave this earth they'll just end up in a garage sale.
Have them buried with u
That 3 bladed knife is called a buck stockman and I got one as an early Christmas present from my grandmother
Give it to your offspring

This is the best knife content on UA-cam. I love the reverence Zac shows for the knife community and culture.
Thanks!🙏
💯💯💯💥
@zacinthewild can you tell me what tool is in the thumbnail
Zac is always so serious, if he would just crack a smile from time to time. I agree, though, good content.
He was the only reason why I watched the Blade hq videos.
13:26 I love jay’s personality he’s got a good attitude we need more people like him :)
Haha, thanks so much!! I can already tell I like your personality too ;)
@@Jay_Fritts thank you man ur chill is hell hahaha
Zac, buddy! I swear, I say it almost every video, but your vids are such a breathe of fresh air into the community! Especially buck knives! I carry a newer buck 110 sport, it's my last knife I've bought because nothing can replace it!
Thanks so much! We got some fun stuff coming from up north🤘
I just received my great grandfathers Buck 110, beat up and very worn in. I also have a brand new one so it’s neat to see the difference. I have over 200 pocketknives from budget to very premium and I love my gramps ole 110
So cool. Keep that one safe.
I have 3 knives from my grand father he always carries a stelleto and so he gave three old timer they were the limited edition knives I charish them more than my than anything
Years ago I got robbed. The one thing I couldn't replace was the buck 110. 40 years later I still miss that knife. It's been replaced with numerous other knives but not the same.
Mine got stolen about 45 years ago. I should have bought another one back then.
I have my grandfathers daily carry buck 110 from the 70's. He passed it down to me 10 years ago when he passed. I had it totally restored and will pass it down to my kids.
I bought my first Buck a stockman 3 blade in 1970 and have used them ever since, must have 20 + Buck knives,axes , sharpeners, great video.
I bought my first 110 in the 70s as a teenager. I'm glad that so many people inherited theirs from their grandfather's. Thanks for you, the employees & commenters making me feel old.
28 years old, been carrying a 110 on my belt all day every day for 10 years.
Buck knives are awesome! I’ve carried a 503 for over 20 years everyday 😊
Some cool stories!
I bought my favourite knife from a local shop in the swiss mountains, bought a Swiss Army Knife at the same shop. Never go without it!
Got to love a good knife shop!
Proud owner of a buck alpha hunter. It was a gift for my dad for my 20th birthday. I am now 33 and the knive is in a good condition.
Loved hearing the guy who has a 110 as old as he is cause I do as well.
My Grandfather got me a Remington 1100 (we had a gunshop back then) and a Buck 110 when he found out my mother was pregnant. I was born in 83. When I turned 11 and decided to go deer hunting He presented me with the Shotgun. He told me about the 110 but I had a 180 Crosslock I had been carrying (which I got gotten from my mother around Easter right after my uncle, her brother, his son, had been killed in a car wreck a few months prior). I thanked him and asked him to put it in the gun safe for later.
I carried the Buck 180 Crosslock from the time I got it right after it had come out in 94 until just a few years ago when I purchased a 110 forgetting that I technically already had one since before I was born. Unfortunately my grandfather passed away in 2014 but I left everything in the safe at my grandmothers until she passed away in 2016. While cleaning out the safe to move it I found the 110 from 83 and have it here now along with all of my grandfather's knives that he had including several Buck and Case knives, one of which was the an early production 426 Bucklite with the Green handles and the rearward most pens being steel and not brass like later ones. Still have the green camo canvas belt sheath as well. Surprisingly it's in excellent condition considering he carried and used it on the farm and while hunting. I still carry it from time to time just in remembrance of him and all that he taught me.
As far as a knife story goes; I was pulled over for speeding outside of Cleveland Ohio in a rental vehicle in 2007. They asked me to get out of the vehicle to do a search with the drug K9s and asked me if I had anything on my person. I informed them that I always carried a knife and that it was clipped inside my righthand front pocket. One of the Officers retrieved it from my pocket and opened it twohanded as thumbstuds weren't a common thing at that time. He fiddled with it for several minutes trying to close it but didn't know how to unlock it because liner locks weren't all that common either. Finally he handed it back to me and I showed him where the lock was and explained how too close it. I then handed it back to him handle first still open and asked him to please close it. When he asked me why, I just told him it is traditional that you never close a knife that you didn't open and you never hand someone an open pocket knife and likewise when you are handing someone a knife that you hold it firmly until the person you are handing it to has it firmly in their grasp and says thank you before you release your grip when they are the ones that asked to barrow it. I then told him that even if I closed it I'd still have to give it back to him again and since I wasn't the one whom had opened it that I would appreciate it if he would close it since I explained how to do so. His partner got a chuckle out of it and once he closed the knife he said he'd just set it on the dash of the vehicle till they were done. I watched as the K9s had a good sniff around the SUV and then they gave me the speeding ticket and sent me on my way. That was a long day as my trip was 8 hours to Ontario Canada to pick someone up and 8 hours back home within the same day.
@user-ff4qz7iz6w I would if I planned to have a child. I'll probably give it to the daughter of my best friend. I actually gave them my fist .22 rifle that I taught my friend/her father on.
Dude, Lee is a boss
Well now you're just making me blush!
@@leealthen25 lol it's true! Btw I'm a fountain pen guy too. My current edc is a pilot custom 823 in fine. Love that thing. I use FPs almost exclusively since I seriously got into the hobby about 5 years ago
I’m Real Glad That Jamie is part of the crew! The two of you make things flow. Team work it shows.
damn bucks just got a bunch of cool people running around making knives. That camera dude was hilarious. I think i need a buck now :)
Ayyye! You’re pretty hilarious yourself ;) what Buck knife are you considering!?
Pen carry is a Lamy 2000 extra wide nib, with blue-green bottle ink carried in my daypack to and from work in the Fallkniven CC4 slip (stone in pack too, of course). Hadn't expected to be asked that today! :) Great vid as ever Zac. 💪
Loving the tour video Zac! You should do a tour/pocket checks at Leatherman next!
Zac - your videos are just always so fun. You don't take yourself so seriously, which is great to see. Thanks for always bringing laughter into it.
Love these company pocket check videos!
My favorite knife in high school (late 70's) was, of course, a Buck 110. Now that I actually live just down the road from the Buck factory I have purchased another 110 just for old times sake.
For lovers of Buck knives I highly recommend coming here for the Fathers Day sale, you WILL leave with far more knives that you intended to, ha, ha.
You bring the knife community to the next level and share it with the whole world.
Favorite Buck is 112 slim pro 🔥🔥🔥 light, great steel, reliable, good work knife ❤
I loved this video - love Buck knives, the heritage, and OMG the Buck 110. Great job Zac and Jamie!
Great video !! Carrying a Spyderco PM2, Gerber Dime, Lux pro LP130, and an ole trust BIC ballpoint pen
a piece of my right hand's ring finger tip was sliced and a small piece was stuck on the other side of the Espada XL's blade when I closed it with 1 hand and boy I bled nicely 😁, I was vacuuming our house and felt my left thumb was bleeding, profusely, realized I was cut by my tanto voyagerXL''s tip 😁... last night my edc was 2x fox knives D.A.R.T. on each pocket, CEO flipper on the left and PM2 camo on the right with CRKT Skeggox and CS Magnum Tanto 12' san mai on my backpack, at home today, I have a VoyagerXL on my left pocket and 6" ti-lite on my right... YOU ROCK ZAC!!! 🤟🤘👍
Epic carry! Glad you still have most of all your fingers😁🤘
@@zacinthewild just approx 1mg was removed, I felt lighter 😁
Love these videos Zac.
I dropped my 110 in a lake while fishing a few years ago. My uncle, who I happen to be named after, had also dropped his 110 in the same lake 20 years earlier. Unfortunately neither were recovered but both have been replaced and we both continue to use them regularly. Now if I could just get a 110 auto in Canada!!!!
I've had the same Buck 110 since 1978. It's not my usual EDC but it's definitely in the rotation. I finally broke down last year and replaced the sheath.
I carry a buck 110 slim pro, a fisher a7 space pen and a Milwaukee permanent marker. I didn't realize how much stuff I actually carry with me every day until I started changing my clothes at work everyday and had to move all my EDC stuff at the beginning and end of every shift
It starts to add up for sure. The worst part is trying to go without something you’re used to having😁
I just love this channel. Zac has some of the best most entertaining friendly knife content out there. It's like being there with him and getting excited because you're making a new friend who's into the same stuff you are!
Always carry a Parker pen.
Have a large collection of old/vintage parker pens.
The click from a parker brings back memories to my granddad. He got me in to knife and pen's
I worked at Parker Pen. It has a very similar feel as the Buck factory. Everyone carried a unique ink pen and don’t ask to borrow it. They are possessive of their baby.
I inherited my dad’s 110 with a Martin Marietta embossed sheath from the 80s. He worked at the Michaud facility building the external tank for the space shuttle and the knife was a service gift.
I have two favorites; one fixed blade, one lock blade.
Fixed blade: I'm a bladesmith. My mentor made one specially for me. It's an absolutely amazing knife. Absolutely gorgeous. Handle feels like it was molded for my hand. Sheath is a stunner. Absolutely love the thing.
Lock blade: Spyderco Police 4 in K390 steel. Holds an edge forever. Have to use my machines to sharpen it once every 4 months.
coming in after these is one I made. I call it Brutus. 1/4" thick 1084 steel, bead blast finish, could chop through steel beams with it.
This is great! I love seeing you talk to folks around the plant and what they do. My very first Buck was a 112 back in 2014. And I've collected several since then.
They make some of the greats. Love my 112!
722 is definitely underrated. I'm good with the standard black aluminum handle one. Though do have a partially serrated Boy Scout version with their logo and blue aluminum handle.
I've had Buck's for years, solid and dependable. Cool video!!
They never let you down!
Very cool and fun!! I carry a Buck 110. The 110 was like a rite of passage when I was growing up in Montana. I couldn’t afford one, so I bought a Schrade Old Timer 6OT…basically the same thing. I carried it daily for about 30 years. It recently disappeared when I was in the hospital for emergency surgery. So I bought my first actual 110!!! It’s dear to me!! And another UA-camr built a beautiful belt slide sheath for me!!
Buck 113 had it for years in my hunting bag. Sons first hunting season is this year and i ordered him a custom 113 s30v brass cherry. Lifetime knife i hope for him.
This was awesome I've been waiting for a buck knife video. Best knife brand in my opinion. Please keep the videos coming yall are awesome.
Bro! I love how genuine you are in your videos. Especially when you approached the head honcho of Buck. Cool as a cucumber. But as for my knife story, I've carried a knife since i was 8 and have a ton of them and I love all knives...
But there was one time I was on call one night for wildlife control and got a call at about 3am for noises in an attic. Well I get there and removed a nursing female raccoon from their attic with my catch pole. So because she was obviously still nursing, I went looking for her babies... well after about two hours of searching I finally located them at the bottom of a room addition wall and couldn't reach them because I was looking down the wall void from the attic. So because it was late and I didn't have a drywall saw and needed to get the baby raccoons out. I pulled out my Esee avispa and cut a hole about arms length above the babies and pulled out four of them. Then turned them and their mother in to the local wildlife rehab center.
Seems like a great, team of people at Buck. Thanks for the content!
That was fun! I have a 30-40 year old folding Buck. Don’t even know the model numbe, but I suspect it’s a 110. I grew up in Colorado so I had to be a “Western” owner. I have several Western fixed blades, including very small and somewhat large, deer / elk hunting sizes. All have high carbon blades that can be sharpened surgical sharp! LOVE the family owned culture visible at Buck! I’ve carried a Fisher Space Pen for roughly 5 decades!
This was a very entertaining video! Some people really do love their job!
I carry a leather man skeletool in my back pocket and a leather man wingman in a holster on the side of my belt. I have a J5 knife in my pocket, chapstick, wounded warrior coin, BIC lighter, plastic wallet, and my iPhone in my back pocket.
Great carry🤘
Around here (overseas in Europe) Buck feels quite oldie … Buck 110, 112, the big a** Fixed Blade and some imported crap that ruined the reputation. So quite interesting to see plenty of appealing models and the vivid Made in US spirit. That‘s my really fresh personal Buck story … thanks for the tour and insights guys 😊
Ive got a custom 110 in the works for my dad, its cool to see the people putting it together.
I have that same smith and Wesson boot knife 😂. I keep it in my car door.
Dang that was excellent! Interesting how many carry fixed blades. Nice to see all the 112s. And a fountain pen, COOL!
The 112 seems to be the most popular model, right up to the head man himself!!!
Love the stories! Today since I’m not working I’m carrying my BladeHQ Spyderco Native 5 LW mint M4 in the front pocket and my Knafs Lander wearing it’s Chroma Scales and Glow Rhino studs in the back pocket.
Zac, your love of the people and products shine in every video. It’s great to share.
Pen carry - Tactile Turn, mini or short.
Case Cheetah is my favorite, but the stockman (medium) is my always there in the pocket user.
Another highly enjoyable video. Thanks, Zac.
Dude!! The Buck factory and employees...? SO cool!!! Loving your content.
My EDC is a Buck 112 sport. I love it and wouldn't leave home without it.
Awesome video guys. Great people at Buck and great stories 👌
Watched your video.. Had to order a custom engraved Buck 110 Auto Elite, commemorating my complition of recieving Unlimited Oceans Masters Captians license ...
Captain Ron, Naples FL
These make great gifts for graduating seniors
bought my 110 in 73 [playing with it now] spent 40+ in construction and beat it up..skinned wire, reamed pipe and cut apples at lunch..by far the best investment for me..ty for the look inside
Love it. Glad we live here in Idaho with all of these knife companies - Chris Reeve, Tops, ESEE and many others. I rock a 3 dot 1980-81 in 440C, the masculine version of the 110. And no I'm not old. Old school steels and revolvers. Thinking about getting some orange 722 Spitfire's for my kids' first folders. On camp and backpack trips like this weekend in the Idaho Sawtooth's, I'll pair the 110 with the discontinued 650 Nighthawk and one of my Ontario RD's.
My pen carry changes often but it's always a fountain pen!
My first knife I ever used was a Buck. Couldn’t tell you the model number or anything. I just remember my dad getting in touch with one of their warranty or customer service reps around 2006 for or 2007 when I was just starting cub scouts and he got my troop factory second knives with a signed letter from Mr. CJ Buck himself wishing us all luck. I still keep that knife in my sock drawer and keep it as pristine as possible. It’ll be my kids first knife and I’ll always keep it around.
Parker Jotter Zach!! Need to always carry a pen!😊
His reaction at 6:01 lmao. I felt that.
That fountain pen is rad!
I hope one of the upcoming Buck videos is you getting to do your own Build-a-Buck. Pretty cool idea, I'd have a field day with that tool box of parts.
It was super cool! We did something special with Danny the warranty guy💪
@@zacinthewild Danny vid should be gold!
Makes you want to go out and buy another Buck knife!
I love Buck. But I think I’m done buying directly from Buck themselves until they revamp their order and warranty system. I have several knives in process and after having about a 85% failure rate as far as them getting something wrong one way or another forcing me to send knives back to be corrected or redone, I am just exhausted. They have wonderful customer service. But when it already takes 12 weeks to get an order only for it to be messed up and have to be sent back for another 12 weeks to correct, it’s just so frustrating. Place an order for a knife and u don’t have it for 6 months. Just not worth the frustration. I dont care how good the knives are, when u have to wait that long or longer to get what u paid for, it makes u want to venture to another knife company.
Edit:
In about 3 or 4 of my recent Buck custom orders that were wrong, I sent them back only to discover weeks later that they had lost my order and have to redo the entire knife. Really poor logistics and record keeping. Not to mention that they only answer about 1 out of every 10 emails you ever send them.
The customer service and warranty department people are very polite and try to fix whatever issue there is, so I must give them credit where it is due. But it doesn’t change the fact that the experience of making purchases at Buck can be one of the most time consuming and frustrating experiences u can go through as a consumer.
If u plan ahead about 6 months, go ahead and place a buck order. But don’t be shocked when u actually use up the entire 6 months waiting for your order to arrive correct. You have been warned.
Zac you’re just a great natural host. Thanks for the content.
Perfect video guys, congrats and keep it going!
My fav of all time is an old boy scout pocket knife with white scales my late Father gave me.
My fav edc knife is the Spyderco Amalgam, great ergonomics, great flat ground blade, an one of the best tips in the business!
Zack love you bro, I truly believe your a good man!
Lots of cool peeps and stories. Great video. My pen carry is a tactile turn and open mini. Also carrying a Manix 2 and Mkm isonzo
Great content as always. Thx . Reminds me , I need a new Buck .
I love your vids Zac. Lots of fun to watch!
This video makes me love buck knives even more!
Cool video! Crazy young lady had all those blades way to go
Love these. Great video.
These videos are so much fun. Keep it up, guys!
Thanks so much👊
Growing up in the 1960’s in the sticks in north east Oklahoma I thought the only knife in the world was a Buck 119. I remember being amazed on how tough a Buck knife was. The black handle I didn’t care for very much , but recognized it was as hard as nails. I think I remember a Buck knife ad of hammering a Buck knife thru a bolt which totally impressed me. My dad was a auto mechanic and one of his favorite expressions when drilling or cutting a piece of metal was “ it was hard as a Bucks knife blade” . Us boys new then it was really hard metal.
Love the pocket checking of employees. Pen - Pilot G2 Limited $10.
I ordered the iconic Buck 110. New stories to be made! Dad, farmer for 40 years, used his teeth and fingers for untying string instead of carrying a pocket knife. No point cutting if you can avoid it and reuse. 😅
always bringing the good energy, love it
you need to visit the Tactile Turn factory in Dallas Texas
What a great chapter Zac, keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Love videos like this. Awesome video zac as always 👍
Glad you like them!
Kaweco Sport in Brass, EF tip w/blue ink is my go to pen carry. It's compact and I made a leather slip for it. Talked a family friend into getting her husband one for Christmas, and he carries that in a belt mounted holster I made.
Glory glory Man United! Love the Legos and the Man United sign, haha
😂
I use to carry a Bic click years ago, then I upgraded to a Benchmade and it ruined my pocket and then I discovered the WE Knife Obex and have been carrying that for 2 years now and love it.
benchmade is always a downgrade.
My favorite thus far: Vorn Draugr. Even more than any of my HFB stuff. It’s W2 steel, it has a beautiful hamon on the sides of the blade, it has this gorgeous rustic decarb look, plus it comes with a mirror polish edge from the man’s shop. The main reason I love it so much is because it’s my first custom knife I own. I know everyone goes crazy over magnacut these days, but you can’t do some of these things with magnacut.
My dad had a 55 (got lost mid 90s) and I have a 110. Awesome knife. I really wish I had that Stockman with rosewood handles though. Around here, you get "the look" carrying a knife on your belt.
My edc pen is a brass Hinderer Investigator. Great video, I love seeing inside other peoples pockets…a little glimpse into their lives and personalities.
Zac, you should go to a fire house and pocket check firefighters! You'd see some really interesting and intuitive kit as well as hear some epic stories!
Dude does a better edge burnish than me 😂 super nice slip he made
Hi Zac - I just saw a video in which an older man was walking along a beach and saw a sea turtle tangled in a net. He happened to have a knife on him and cut the turtle free. Maybe you could do a video on stories in which a knife "saved the day" so to speak (show social media posts, talk to the helpers, show the knives...). Keep up the great work! 😎
I carry my 1964 Buck 110 on my side in the original sheath. I have taken great care of this knife and use it when needed. I am 77 years old and bought this knife from Turner Hardware Store in Dallas Texas on my 19th birthday which is December the second 1945. In 1964 I was 19 the day I bought the knife.
That was great! I'd love to see more of this kind of content.
That Buck in the thumbnail is beautiful definitely something I’d carry if I was in the states my favourite knives have to be the Victorinox compact and nail clip 580
I live in post falls, glad I get to live right by buck
Great video. Loved the various knives. The build a Buck was great. Can’t function without a knife in my pocket
The miss with all the knives...😉🤘💯
Great video Zac!
Oh wow! I love Buck 110 Classic!))
I was given a Montblanc gift set with a pen and stationary roughly 25 years ago, and it's usually always at arms length, depending on what I'm doing of course.
