Buck 0327 Nobleman Folding Knife

Buck Knives, a 4th generation family-owned business located in Post Falls, Idaho, has a long and storied history. The company's founder, Hoyt Buck, was on a quest to find a better way to temper steel, so that his knives could hold an edge for longer. His unique approach led to the creation of the first Buck Knife in 1902. In 1964, the company solidified its position as an industry leader with the revolutionary Model 110 Folding Hunter.

This relentless drive for ingenuity and excellence is what has made Buck the successful knife maker it is today. As CJ Buck, the CEO and Chairman, explains, "When your family name is on a product, you care a bit more about how well it works."

Buck's knives are renowned for their exceptional edge-holding capabilities, a result of the company's meticulous attention to detail. They carefully select the right steel for each application, then use their patented heat-treating and tempering process to ensure the blade meets the demands of the intended use. This means that a Buck knife is sharper out-of-the-box, holds its edge longer, and is easier to resharpen.

To further support the longevity of their products, Buck offers a Spa Service for their branded knives. This service restores the factory edge and provides a basic polish for a fee of $6.95 per knife.

The company's expertise in edge retention has made Buck a market leader, thanks to their steel selections and heat-treat process pioneered by the industry-renowned Paul Bos.

Customers can choose from a wide range of Buck knives, each offering unique features and capabilities. The 327 Nobleman, for instance, boasts a 2-5/8" drop-point blade made of 7Cr17 stainless steel, with a titanium-coated, textured handle for a secure grip. The 726 Mini Spitfire features a 2-3/4" blade of 420HC stainless steel and an anodized aluminum handle. The 112 Slim Pro, on the other hand, is equipped with a 3" S30V stainless steel blade and an olive drab micarta handle.

Regardless of the model, Buck's commitment to quality and innovation shines through, ensuring that each knife they produce is a testament to their legacy of excellence.
