Buck Knives is an American knife brand and manufacturer founded in San Diego, California, in 1947 as H.H. Buck and Son, and now located in Post Falls, Idaho. Company founder and family patriarch Hoyt Buck made his first knife in 1902 but did not begin making them commercially until 1947. Since then the family-owned company has built a five-generation history of manufacturing knives and related products such as sheaths and sharpeners. Buck Knives primarily manufactures sport and field knives and is credited with inventing the folding hunting knife and popularizing it to such a degree that the term buck knife has become associated with folding lockback knives, including those made by other manufacturers.
