9:06 Final Thoughts on Why Buck Knives Warranty Is One Of The Best!
We recently had the pleasure of going to Buck Knives in Post Falls Idaho to meet with and work with their warranty wizard Danny. Danny has been working at Buck for almost 50 years and has been the sole person doing warranty work for Buck for the last 30! With a masterful eye and a steady hand he has handled 1,000's of warranty knife repair and restoration claims. I had three heirloom knives that needed some service so we got to see how a 120 year old American Made company handles keeping your knives sharp an in your pocket!
Thanks for stopping by the factory! It was a real treat getting to watch you work and share some stories along the way. Great video!!
Thanks for having us! Such a great time and place!
I’m gonna have to send my great grandfathers old buck knives in for service. I’ve been wanting to carry them especially his old 110. He used that thing everyday. Unfortunately the back lock bar spring fell out and it doesn’t lock anymore. Hopefully buck can still fix it.
Hey Buck, Ive been trying to get a response from your warranty department for the past 3 weeks now re my Hoodlum breaking at the notch....not sure why they dont respond to emails I sent on the 20th and 30th May ?????
how about in other countries like new zealand?
@lancemillward2462 Nope, seems Buck only covers the warranty for people living in the US, Im in Auckland and Ive been trying for the past 3 weeks now to get a response from their warranties dept with no luck and 4 emails sent but still.....no reply......Im not buying another Buck knife again.
A company that actually cares for their customers and stands by their warranty is a rare beast these days.
Gotta give Buck props for their warranty, thats a huge cost to them on what might have been a $20 purchase 40 years ago.
Japp. It’s the same with Victorinox 👍
They really stand by it!
@Erebos You have to pay for victorinox service, though.
@@dieselgoinham absolutely! The last time i „payed“ it was 8 bucks for shipping. If you wreck you knife good, you pay the maximum. Which is 20 bucks. 👍
@Erebos Yeah its not bad, but $20 is close to the cost of a brand new victorinox. Better than nothing. Leatherman has the best warranty.
I got to say..i have so much respect to danny...he's loyal for staying at buck for almost 50 years...its insane,he can easily do his own custom knives with his skills but he choose to stay with buck..huge amount of respect to him..thanks zac and jamie for this awesome videos
It also shows Buck treats their employees right. I hate companies that treat their employees like disposable labor & avoid buying their products. More than anything, this video makes me wanna buy a buck knife.
Danny can't believe that he gets paid to do what he loves , Imagine enjoying getting up to go to work !
My father lost the knife that his dad gave to him. He looked and looked and couldn't find it (a hunting fixed blade). My brothers and I all chipped in together and bought him a buck. I loved this video. Thanks Zac.
So rad!
Excellent ❤
I understand that feeling.. a guy I worked with about 15 years ago he was like a father figure to me and he gave me a old buck 112 with the sheath before he passed away and somehow I lost it. I looked everywhere for that knife and still to this day it bugs me.
Buck Has A Hell Of An Employee With Danny On The Job, Such A Nice Guy!
I haven’t purchased a Buck knife for YEARS now, but after this piece, I am shopping right now. I hope more manufacturers open their doors for Zac to review. Kershaw, Gerber, Leatherman, Spyderco, Case, etc etc.
My wife gave me a folding Buck Hunter in 1975. On a trip to Victoria Island, BC, in the winter of 1976 I damaged it in an unavoidable situation where I had to split wood or freeze. I would happily pay for the repair but the knife is so dear to me that I worry about it getting lost in the mail.
I have a Buck 119 my Uncle gave me back in the late 70's. I was around 12 years old. I carried that thing everywhere. I still have it and its in pretty good shape.
Love a knife with a good story!
Pre Communist China made!
I have a 110 from 1975 and it’s still going strong. At one time it was my only knife. It was used as a hammer many times back in my skateboarding days during the 80’s. The sheath survived a couple of good crashes and is pretty scuffed up. I put an 18 degree mirror edge on it and it’s still standing. The knife is too heavy for today’s EDC, but I will never sell it. There is true character there. It was the first knife I purchased with my own money. Thanks 🔪🎸
That is because that particular knife was made before Buck went to the dark side, and was made in America, NOT China!!!
I have the same knife. I paid $20 for it at the PX. They are $100 today.
@ Bucks have always been made in America. The factory is in Post Falls, ID if you want to come see it.
Something awesome about seeing old, well used knives,
Totally agree, they tell more of a story than a pristine knife.
Thats for sure. I love the history. I found a buck 313 muskrat knife that's discontinued at a garage sale recently for $5. It needs a cleaning thow. Cool find
Buck is the best with warranty and customer service. When my dad passed years ago, while sorting his things I found an old buck folding knife on his dresser. I remember him showing it to me when I was a kid.The tip had been broken off at some time. I wanted to carry it with me as a reminder so I sent it to Buck to have the blade repaired. They replaced the blade and cleaned up the knife beautifully keeping some character on the scales. When I got the knife back, I was surprised to find that they did not charge me for the repair since it was a family heirloom. Unfortunately the original blade had to be discarded, but that’s ok. I will hand the knife down to my nephew when the time is right, since I have no children. Buck Knife is a class act.
I bought my first Buck knife about 2 months ago because of you speaking so highly about them
Hope it serves you well! 🙌
@@BuckKnives Over the past couple of months of daily use. Aside from the handle being a bit small for my extra large hands. My Buck Matrix 3.0 has been very good to me
He did a fabulous job fixing broken tips on one of my 619's and a 119. Recut the top swedge and reground the tips and even recut the hollow grind into them. They're both just 5.5" blades now and if you didn't measure or realize it you'd never know they'd been broken
I bought one of Buck's 100 yr Anniversary 110's in 2002, and not even a week in I broke the tip off. I took a file and reshaped the tip and used it up until about 5 years ago, and it was an excellent knife.
Then I was reminded of their Forever warranty, so I sent it in with a note explaining the situation, and that I wanted a blade replacement.
They took and cleaned it up and actually reshaped and reground the tip of the blade like it "should" have been done, and sent it back with another 110. They are very proud of their heritage, and to change the blade in that knife would give it different markings. Since it was an Anniversary model they did not want t destroy it's history or any value it might have, so they sent a replacement and suggested I retire it instead.
I fully expect the new one to be with me for life. And I am a proud and loyal Buck knife customer for life.
Coincidentally, I was looking for a motorcycle / camping knife recently. After watching this video, I'm going to get a Buck. Will pick up a folder, too. A company that cares about its customers this much will get my business. Thanks for sharing your visit, Zac!
Make sure you check for country of origin!
I have been carrying a Buck for over 50 years, I will vouch for them.
Three iconic Buck knives, that would be great for both camping and hunting are :
Buck 119 (fixed), the Buck 110 (folder), and the Buck 112 (folder)
I loved this episode: the respect that this man Danny has earned and his commitment to Buck should be a lesson to us all about the importance of older people and their wisdom.
I sent two folding pocket knifes to them for repair. Pre paid shipping! they repaired both of them and sent them back with a Thank you for being a loyal customer promo card with 25% off my next purchase on line! what a great company! i could not be happier with there products! ThankYou buck knifes!
Not going to lie...makes me want to buy and carry a Buck...well done!
My man!👊
I carry 1 as a 3rd carry … always great blades 🔪 😊
I carry a Buck 110 folding hunter finger grooved , it's an awesome knife .
All the blades and shit you have but you still don't have a buck? What's the world coming to man😂
Bought my first Buck because of this video!
Great video. Being British I never understood the American obsession over Buck knives - I do now…
When my dad passed away, I found his buck pocket knife with a broken blade, contacted buck knives, sent it in for repair and instead they sent me a brand new one, yes they do stand behind the product!
It is fantastic that Buck will even Warranty their knives for inherited knives. Many knife companies will ONLY honor the Warranty for the original purchaser....no transfer of the Warranty. "Old Timer" is like that...I have my Dad's "Old Timer" stockman pocket knife...one blade is broken, but I cannot get it fixed on Warranty.
bought my first Buck back in 1979.....it was a 105. And just a few months ago, I gave my grandson the 110 I bought new in 1987. I have a small collection of Bucks....and I've used their warranty services a few times. Very courteous and professional people working there!!
Thanks Danny. You are an example of what makes American made knives so good.
Key phrase "American made"! Not made in China!!!🐼
Hi Zac. Thanks for the Vid. on Buck Knives. Back in 2020 a 90 YO gave me a 501 that was functional, but had seen better days. I got to surfing around and contacted Buck Knives. I sent it to them plus $10 and they replaced the old blade and polished it like new. What a great U.S.A. company. Long live Buck Knives.
In the 70s thru the 90s, I bought only Buck knives from an uncle who owned a small feed store. Best knives ever! Once saw a man cut a 80 wire traveling cable for an elevator with a Buck knife with three strokes. The cable had a 3/16” steel rope in the center.
I don’t own a Buck knife personally but it would be impossible not to admire and respect both the company for honouring their outstanding service policies as well as the folks directly responsible for doing so. A lot of love, respect and loyalty on both ends of these relationships. Speaks volumes. I think that’s pretty damn cool. Respect to the Buck Knives Family ❤
I have several Buck knives and I love all of them. When I send them in for sharpening and get them back the edge is factory sharp and gorgeous.
Zac, you are riding my old CX-500 in this video. I don't think I have ever seen another one with the same paint scheme. Love the Buck video, and now I am going to send one of my Folding Hunters in for repair. I have a few Bucks, and two commemorative Folding Hunters, which were both gifts.
Wow ! I’m impressed with Buck Knives now more than ever ! And I have collected many over the years. Danny is a wonderful asset to Buck Knives…..47 years ! Thank You for an enjoyable,terrific video ! Deo Vindice
I have many Buck knives. I bought a 110 at an estate sale for $1 because the tip was broken off. I sent it in and they honored the warranty and replaced the blade. They are a great company.
I inherited my Dad's Buck 301 Stockman pocket knife...you made a great choice. I carry that pocket knife most every day. Really like my Buck Knives :
Buck 102 Woodsman - Buck 119 - Buck 124 Frontiersman - Buck 301 Stockman
They warranted my dad's buck knife. Had zero issues. Took a bit but came back with the blade he wanted on it and better steel. Bucks warranty is good.
Really interesting video.
I have these same considerations when I do warranty repairs on watches.
My philosophy is everything will leave my workshop the same or better than when it arrived. I'll always try to upgrade and go the extra mile.
I have some really moving stories of repairs I've done and the reasons why people want to keep "damage" on their watches.
Thanks for sharing, as always.
Sounds like you do some excellent work!
@@zacinthewild I put up a video for you showing watchmaker knives if you're interested. After our comments together in the boot maker video.
Awesome bro 😊
i'm 75 years old and started buying but Knives when I was 16 I have a lot of old buck knives and I've never had to send one in for repair that's a testament of the quality of buck knives love you all thank you so much for delivering a high-quality product
Just sent my grandfathers 110 in for a refurbishing! Was not aware they had a lifetime warranty until seeing this.
Can't wait for the result. 🤞
I unknowingly bought a fake Buck 124 from amazon and right off the bat I knew something was off. Sent pics of the blade to Buck and right away they informed me it was a fake and I took that info right to amazon and got a refund. After that... Buck is on my happy list along with Esee and TOPS. Make more 124's!!! Cheers!
Buck's return policy is amazing. I once broke the tip off my small pocket knife, using it how it wasn't meant to be. Stuck it in an envelope with the original receipt and sent it in. Ten days later, new one in the mail. At this point, my buddy and I spent a summer ruining new knives intentionally and sending them in, just to see where they'd draw the line. When they replaced the one I purposefully ground down to just the spine, I accepted defeat. That replacement knife is still in my tacklebox, ten years later.
That is just plain mean.
I been a Happy Buck Knife owner for Many years ,what I do is every time I see a Buck knife ,on sale somewhere be a Yard sale or marketplace ,I buy them and give them away to my friends ,and tell them how Happy there going to be with the Knife ,and the other thing I like to do is when someone as a buck knife I ask to see it and try to tell them how old there knifes are ,,,,,thanks great Video
Nice video. I emailed Buck warranty dept a week ago about my 1973 Buck 112. Haven't heard anything back from them. They must have been busy helping you make this video.
I emailed buck about a buck 313 muskrat knife I found recently at a garage sale that needs a good cleaning and they messaged me back the next day. They definitely are a good company.
What is the best way to get in contact with Buck and/or Danny? My father passed a year and a half ago. He bought me my first knife when I was 10. A classic Swiss Army that I had all through Boy Scouts until I unfortunately lost it. He taught me how to use it and care for it, and started my love for the knife world. I now have a collection of knives and am passing that love and knowledge on to my 3 boys. My father always had only 3 knives growing up. A Swiss Army, a Buck 119 and a Buck 110. They were with him on every adventure from my youth to adulthood. When he passed I received those knives and I gave the 119 to my oldest son (8 years old) who was really close to his Papa, and has a love for knives, too. The 119 and the 110 need some love. I am diligent about knife care, but I really hesitate especially with the 110 to do it myself. I left messages and emailed the contact info for Buck multiple times attempting to get in contact about sending these knives in for some TLC, but have not received any response. I'm happy to pay to have this done. These knives are part of the best memories I had with my father, and I love the thought of having someone like Danny who may have even made one of these knives care for them. Does anyone have any suggestions? Sorry for the long post. My wife says I'm king of the short story made long. 😀
I gave buck folder my father gave me to my son. He used it as a screw driver and broke the tip. I sent it back thinking they would replace the blade, or grind it out . Instead they sent me a new knife and my old old broke blade knife. Some might think great, but I just wanted my old one fixed.
There is something about buck knives that pick up so much character, regardless of materials. They are just iconic
Buck knives has always been great quality without breaking the bank. I still have and use a mid seventies 110 without a hitch.
I'm glad I watched this. I knew about the lifetime warranty on the knives but had no idea it covered the sheath as well.
Yes, I can at attest to the quality of their service. Had a 1993 Buck 192 Vanguard from shortly after they were introduce that had a bubble or some kind of imperfection in the metal of the handle and it caused it to break. Sent it in and got a 1995 back as the other couldn't be repaired. It was a birthday gift from my father that year. He told me to pick out a knife and that is what I chose. It's been a good knife!
This video got me going on a Buck buying spree. Buck 110 S30v nickel, and a 112 trx s30v on its way because of watching this video alone. As a kid I showed up to my Boy Scout summer trip, with Swiss Army Knife and Buck 112 Ranger. Got my TotemChip sharpening my Buck. 30 years later after thousands spent on a Knife collection. Finally coming back to Buck ,Thanks Zac for reminding me of those memories.
As a knife maker...I'll tell you, this guy has some skills!
I really like Buck knives. Buck delivers incredible value and performance for my bucks!
So nice to see the same love and devotion put into customers knives today as my personal experience 40 years ago with buck in El cajon CA. in 1983. A few years back I purchased my son his first buck knife (110). Just wish I could have given him my first buck 120. Sadly, it disappeared in a motorcycle accident requiring a LifeFlight out of a canyon on old hwy 94 in Sandiego. I lived but the knife is in the bottom of a canyon somewhere on that hwy.
Campo road. Great place to ride. Was the bike totaled?
@@tuberNunya it was bad but I had it repaired and back racing the canyon in about a year
Buck knives have always been a higher end piece of cutlery since I was a kid. I hope they are training a person or two to do the work of that "young" feller so Buck continues to be a quality product and company.
I broke the tip off the knife opening paint cans. Then lost it in my yard for a couple of years. I mailed it in and they replaced the blade, polished the pitted brass, refinished the semin destroyed wood. It is the world’s coolest knife now. Buck is great.
I am British, bought my first Buck knife, a 110, from a PX at Greenham Common in 1970, wile stopping of during a tank delivery. My future wife came from El Cajon and we visited the old factory. I have owned many Bucks over the years, my current carry is a Buck Bantam 286 BKS, I love it, almost indestructible, razor edge and really light weight at a great price.
Good job Danny and Buck.
And Zac and Jamie you’re doing great work here.
👊
Awesome video! I too have my Dad’s buck knife, as well as a few of my own! Always been a little nervous to carry and ruin the stories on some of them but it’s great to know someone like Danny is on the other side of warranty treating our blades with the same care that we do. Thanks Danny!!
I sent three knives back about 20 years ago. One broken tip; one weak spring, one scale loosened. Got one repaired back, and two new.
I've got several Buck Knives, and love them all! I have one that is signed by three generations of the Buck family starting with Chuck Buck, and treasure all of them. Their warranty is OUTSTANDING! BTW, all of my Buck knives are signed by at least Chuck Buck!
My dad sent idk how many knives back to buck,he was hard on them but they served him well,they always fixed them!
My first knife was a Buck 303. Birthday gift from the parents at 10yo in 1973. It’s pretty beat up from many years of use, and neglect - but still have it.
Good experience with Buck on a knife that I owned. Was broken, and I sent it in. They said that they had discontinued that particular style, but sent me another that was just like it, except for the handle. I'm happy. And a customer.
My First was a Buck 110 as a sailer lived on my belt. It was so well trained that you could flip it open with a wrist flick got her in 1986 +or- one year. I even got to keep it with me when I Xfered to my last ship in 1999 and got lost in the Gulf when I got hurt in the Gulf. Got me a NEW 110 in 2007, and the sheath died in 2008, and till March of 2023, my wife got me a new Buck Sheath. So she is back on my belt.
Back in the early 1970’s I worked at Buck Knives at their new El Cajon, California plant on Magnolia Ave. I worked the night shift while attending college. My job was to assemble the Folding Hunter, I would glue and rivet the wood to the brass, when dry I would assemble the brass sides, blade spacers, and latch. The last thing I did was a light belt sanding to clean-up the glue and even everything out. I only lasted a few months before I got a position as a architectural draftsmen. Enjoyed my time there.
Thanks Zac , this just adds to the admiration that I have for Buck as company . I have enjoyed owning many of their knives for many years but I have never taken advantage of this warranty before . I honestly thought I would probably just get a run around . You have opened my eyes . Great video !
that was heartwarming to watch, danny really is a craftsman with heart and soul❤️🔥
I wrecked the blade on my buck folder. I sent it back and requested an estimate for repair since it was my fault. Buck said nonsense and replaced it citing their lifetime warranty. They would not let me pay for return postage. Buck for life
I got to meet Chuck Buck at Smokey Mountain Knife works in Tn a years ago. He was there for a promotional weekend. Even though I had purchased my Buck 110X several years before he offered to autograph my blade for me. This is one of my most prized outdoor tools.
I found a brand new Buck 110 on the road outside of Yosemite in 1985. I finally gave it to a grandson a couple years ago. I bought my new Buck 321 Bird knife in 1977, it is right next to me. I used to hunt Upland birds 3 days a week and Waterfowl 3 days a week so it has had real hunting season work for years. I can no longer walk so had to give up hunting but I still have my 321 with me. The 110 is a heavy knife but it was usually with me. It got more work than just hunting and fishing. I got my 321 bird knife in the little Buck shop that was operating out of Knotts Berry farm. They used to put on displays back in the day.
What an absolute legend. Danny…and Buck. Thanks Zac.
Man, I get it now. I always overlooked Buck as my grandpa's knife. We always had a 110 and 112 in the old ammo can full of knives, or a tackle box of some sort. My grandfather had them all over his little bass boat. As I got into knives I got every other knife under the sun! I finally got a buck 110 of my own, on a whim with gift cards to Ace hardware I didn't know what to do with...and WOAH! How they get 420 HC to be this nice is beyond me. It's slowly become my outdoor daily user as we live on a small homestead. It's to the point, where, my wife is in love with it and steals it. Now I'm going to get her the 112 in s35vn for our anniversary! I can't imagine what they did with that steel! Maybe I'm just getting old as a dad with 4 kids of my own, I did get a pair of New Balances... but WOW, Buck knives really are incredible.
Love Buck !! My first proper knife was the 110 then the 119 then up to the 124 ....absolutely amazing company that look after their customers 😊😊
I have an old buck vantage from my Papa (grandfather) around 15 years ago. That thing is indestructible. I’ve *tried* to break the blade and it just doesn’t lol. Stronger blade than 500$ big brand knives today. I’ve thrown it full force into trees, use the blade to pry, dropped it flat on the tip many times and it didn’t break like any knife today would. I’ve never sharpened it never did anything but use it, and it’s still a razor. Buck knives is a great company with some of the most iconic designs in history
Living history at Buck knife company!!! Love the brand and awesome warranty!!! Great video Zac!!!
Man your videos just don’t miss! Really loving these kinds of videos as it shows the story and depth of these companies and the people working there. Much more than a spec sheet listed on a website for each knife.
This is the second time I've watched this video. I feel like I got a tour. I currently have a 1978 110 in for a SPA treatment. It also means a lot to me, so I can't wait to get it back. This particular vid is a keeper. Thanks, Zac!
This is why I love Buck knives. Danny thank you so much for the blade replacement on my grandfather's 110. That knife means more to me than my entire collection combined.
INow you've done it. I've been carrying an Old Timer knife for over 50 years and it has both handles broken. I superglued them back on and, to far so good. But I'm 72 now and thinking I'd like to leave this knife to my grandson. Guess I"ll be contacting Old Timer and see if they can fix it, but leave the character on it.
I am a retired electrician and it has served me well.
And that knife on the wall with the chucnk burnt out of it reminds me of several times I had knives go that route. Usually when I loaned my skinning knife to a certain Co Worker called "Flash"!
Seeing your videos has made me want to get my Buck back out. I have 2 560s, (110s with titanium handles). One I used to carry daily, one hand signed by the Buck family at closing ceremonies of the San Diego facilities (best gift from my dad ever I think haha).
These videos have made me a huge Buck fan, it’s great to see an American company with great employees who love their products!
I have carried a Buck knife my entire adult life. Truly an American icon company.
I recently won on an eBay auction a Buck 110 single line. I sent pics into the Buck historian and he confirmed it is a 3rd version, variation 1. Made in 1967. I'd really like to send it in for a "spa treatment" but I just don't trust safe delivery from USPS or UPS/FedEx. Even if I get special insurance for it's value, it won't replace the historic value of this knife. I wish I could schedule an appointment to have Danny clean, polish and sharpen this really valuable knife for me, so I can display it.
I have sent in a few knives to them and I was amazed at what came back including some very sentimental knives. This truly is a great company
I have a Buck knife, a folder about 40 years old that I received as a gift. I was never able to get a decent edge on it, so I finally sent it back to Buck for sharpening. It came back with a surprising amount of metal removed- but still not all that sharp. I gave it another go without any result, and it’s sat in the back of a drawer ever since.
Had to sell my General years ago with most of my knives (divorce). That General and my Old Timer were my favorites.
That black 3 blade knife you picked has been my everyday carry for at least 15 years. I didn't even know it was a buck til I saw it on screen then pulled it out of my pocket to double check. My dad gave it to me way back when. I just asked him if I should send it in to have it refubed, and he said I should since his dad gave it to him. I've been carrying around a 3 generation knife in my pocket for so long and didn't even realize it until your vid sparked a convo. Thanks for that.
Reminds me of Craftsmen tools lifetime warranty,bought a ratchet back years ago for replacement that would not ratchet,they tried to give me a repair kit,stood my ground,finally got a new one.
Let me tell you about my experience with the Buck Warranty. I purchased my Buck model 303 in 1967 and used it as my everyday carry knife ever since. Some time ago the tip of the clip blade got broken off and over the years the hammer and knife silver emblem came off and was lost. When I inquired about a repair, I was told that because of its age, they could not repair it, but offered to replace it at a minimal cost. Very disappointing.
I almost lost my early '70s 110 when the belt loop failed after 40 years of field use. Luckily, I heard it hit the ground behind and turned to look for what caused the noise. I contacted Buck, and have a new sheath. I miss the old one. It was nicely broken in and soft.
I've had that 3 blade since high-school! We "couldnt" carry knives in school. But you can't not carry a knives. So I went with an in pocket. It is great! You'll love it
I am sold on Buck Knives now! Great video!
I bought a Model 110 Folding Hunter in '72 for film work. In '76 I was overseas, and about to deploy to Korea. My Buck knife was back home, so I bought another one at the Air Force PX, and carried that in-country. I was on mess duty, and only used it to slice tomatoes, not Nork throats, but it was reassuring to keep on my belt. Still have both. Neither needs repair, but the sheathes are a little aged. One is kinda floppy [the user] and the other is stiff and brittle because it was a box queen. Saddle soap and mink oil might help.
Great video! Buck is Outstanding! My parents gave me a folding hunter 53 years ago, I was 13. I still have it. The wood is almost worn off the handle, but if that knife could talk.
I bought a Buck three blade model 703 in about 1980 and carried it daily for over 35 years . I broke the smallest blade prying open a frozen fuel door on my pickup. Sent it back to Buck. Since it was long discontinued they couldn’t fix it so they sent me a model 303 free as a replacement. Pretty good customer service!
I bought mine at an AG show here in Australia, it turns out that it was seventeen years ago according to Danny's chart. Still holds a great edge, still looks great.
I did not know this. I broke a buck knife a few years ago. I should go and look for it and get it fixed.
In 1985, the good ole Texas boy taught me how to sharpen a knife. He explained about shorter and longer edge, about how a shorter edge dulls quicker and a longer edge hold it better and longer, so the 15 degree edge made perfect sense.
Great video! I wore out 3 Buck 110 knives in 40 years of industrial maintenance. I got my money's worth.
Just watched this video in the Buck factory parking lot. Bought a knife and honing stone and saw Danny working his magic on the belt grinder. Super cool video!
I bought my first buck, (110 folder) in the eight grade (1971). It was common and cool at that time to flip open the blade with a quick snap of the wrist. Needless to say..sometimes this caused minor injuries and ceiling damages.. lol. One time as my buck slipped out of my hand it ricochet off the ceiling and into my left knee. Oops. Another time, it just banged on a rock...breaking about a 1/4 inch of the point off.😢 ...I reground that knife, but it was never the same. I've owned, carried, and collected many knives in my life but always missed that "first " one. I'm now 65 years of age and last year I sent that folder back to Buck along with the confession of abuse when I was teen. I was not looking for a break on purchase..or another to replace. To my great joy, they restored that knife. Same ol love, new blade but same ol scales and brass. It is my everyday carry I even field dressed and skinned my elk last year! The warranty is...priceless.
I will always have a Buck on my person until death . I’ve never been let down by my Buck Autos
You were there and didn't tell me?! Aaaaa
I will tell you buck is just like that. They take good care of you no matter what. Had one my dad stuck in a live light socket and they still fixed it for him! Worth every penny.
I bought my first Buck knife (112 Ranger) over 35 years ago and I have loved Buck ever since.
