Buck Knives 662 Alpha Scout Pro Fixed Blade Hunting Knife

A young Kansas blacksmith apprentice named Hoyt Buck was looking for a better way to temper steel so it would hold an edge longer. In 1902, his unique approach produced the first Buck Knife. Hoyt made each knife by hand, using worn-out file blades as raw material. His handiwork was greatly appreciated during World War II.

Hoyt's eldest son Al had relocated from the Pacific Northwest to San Diego, California after finishing a stint in the navy a decade earlier. In 1945, Hoyt and his wife Daisy moved in with Al and his young family, and they set up shop as H.H. Buck and Son. Following the death of his father, Al kept the fledgling custom knife business going until incorporating Buck Knives, Inc. in 1961. Al introduced his son, Chuck, to the knife business at an early age, and Chuck and his wife, Lori, were both involved when the company was incorporated.

In 1964, the knife industry was revolutionized with the introduction of the Model 110 Folding Hunter, making Buck Knives a leader in the field. Chuck worked his way up through the company, serving as President and CEO for many years before handing over the reins to his son, CJ, in 1999. Chuck remained active as Chairman of the Board until his passing in 2015. Lori now serves on the Board of Directors and is actively involved with Buck promotional events throughout the U.S., continuing Chuck's legacy.

The Buck Knife features a razor-sharp blade, made of S35VN steel that is 0.139" (0.356 cm) thick, providing excellent strength and durability. The knife's full tang design runs the length of the handle, resulting in a strong and reliable tool that can handle heavy-duty tasks with ease. The textured richlite handle offers a superior grip, even in wet conditions, and is designed for maximum comfort, reducing hand fatigue and increasing productivity during use.

All Buck Knives are made in the USA using the highest quality materials and workmanship, ensuring that they are free of defects and backed by the company's Forever Warranty. The genuine leather sheath, also made in the USA, includes a belt loop and provides easy and secure carrying, allowing users to keep the knife at their side whenever they need it.
