Buck Knives 379 Solo Single-Blade Folding Pocket Knife with Wood Handle

Buck Knives is a 4th generation family-owned business located in Post Falls, Idaho. Our founder, Hoyt Buck, was searching for a better way to temper steel so it would hold an edge longer. His unique approach produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. In 1964, Buck became an industry leader with the revolutionary Model 110 Folding Hunter. This drive for ingenuity and excellence is what has made Buck the successful knife maker it is today.

As the CEO and Chairman, CJ Buck, says, "When your family name is on a product, you care a bit more about how well it works." This commitment to quality is reflected in the performance of Buck knives.

So, why are Buck knives famous for holding their edge? It all comes down to the materials and manufacturing process. We carefully select the right steel for the job, then heat-treat or temper each blade using our patented process to meet the demands of the intended use of the knife. This results in a knife that is sharper out-of-the-box, holds an edge longer, and is easier to re-sharpen.

But what if your Buck knife needs a little TLC? No problem – we offer a Spa Service for all Buck-branded knives. For a fee of $6.95 per knife, we'll restore the factory edge and give it a basic polish, ensuring your trusty blade is ready for your next adventure.

The secret to Buck's edge retention is their steel selection and heat-treat process, pioneered by industry legend, Paul Bos. This attention to detail and commitment to quality has made Buck a market leader in this critical performance aspect.

Beyond just holding an edge, Buck knives are designed to be durable and versatile. They are built to withstand even the toughest conditions and stay sharp for long periods of use. These knives are the perfect companions for hunting, camping, bushcrafting, fishing, hiking, and overlanding.

The 379 Solo model, for example, features a 2-1/4" clip point blade made from 420J2 stainless steel. This material provides excellent strength, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The closed length of the knife is 3", and it weighs just 0.9 oz., making it a lightweight and practical choice for a wide range of tasks.

Perhaps most importantly, every Buck knife is backed by the company's Forever Warranty. Since 1902, Buck Knives has offered a lifetime warranty on their products, because they believe in the integrity and durability of their designs. This commitment to standing behind their work is a testament to the confidence they have in the quality of their knives.

Whether you're a seasoned outdoorsman or just looking for a reliable everyday carry, a Buck knife is a wise investment. With their focus on edge retention, durability, and versatility, it's easy to see why Buck has become a trusted name in the knife industry.
