There’s nothing more American than a Buck knife. The company started as a one-man operation in 1902 selling hand-made, high-quality knives made out of old metal rasp files. One by one, Hoyt Buck made and sold his knives to friends, family, and anyone who wanted one of his fine, long-lasting blades. One of the first designs Hoyt Buck made was the Buck survival knife.

Why a Survival Knife Over Other Knife Styles?
A survival knife is designed, engineered, and constructed to be durable and multi-tasking. Most survival knives have a fixed, non-folding blade for strength and durability; however, Buck has introduced the folding survival knife which is just as tough and durable as the fixed blade model. The pommel at the end of the handle is made to smash and crush and can even be used as a hammer. The Buck survival knife comes in two models, the Selkirk and the Folding Selkirk.

Well Engineered and Well Made
Buck makes its Selkirk knives using time-tested engineering and construction. Each Selkirk is built to the following specifications:

• Blade Shape - Drop Point
• Blade Thickness - 0.135 inch
• Blade Length - 4 ⅝ inch (11.7mm)
• Blade Material - 420HC Steel
• Weight - 7.6 oz. (212.6 gm.)
• Handle Construction - CNC Contoured Micarta®
• Carry System - Sheath - Horizontal or Vertical
• Accessory Items - Fire Starter / Whistle

What is 460HC Steel?
There are different types of steel that can be used for constructing a knife blade. Depending upon the intended use of the knife, the steel blade is manufactured to meet its intended use profile. Manufacturers who use 460HC steel know it has the right characteristics for heavy duty use. The “HC” designation refers to the high carbon content in the steel itself. Blades keep their edge longer and better with 460HC steel and that is why Buck uses that particular type of steel in its survival knives.

Built for Survival Conditions
The heavier-duty Buck survival knife is designed and engineered for what hunters and outdoor enthusiasts encounter while they are afield. This knife can be used to skin animals, slice food, and even chop wood. It’s made to conquer the outdoors and come back for more. A classic design, this knife is built to handle everything the outdoors can throw at you. Stainless steel prevents rusting and makes for easy and complete cleanup after use.

A Major Commitment to Customer Service
It’s funny, but even over a hundred years ago, Hoyt Buck understood the importance of having quality customer service. Back then, if anything went wrong with one of his knives, Hoyt Buck would drop everything to take care of the problem. His philosophy was based upon having his name on the knife. He felt that when your name was on the product, your reputation was on the line. That philosophy is still true today with the 4th generation of the Buck family running the company with Hoyt’s commitment to customers.

The Buck Knife Forever Warranty
In many ways, Hoyt Buck started what is now known as a Lifetime Warranty, but it’s not the lifetime of the product that is covered by the warranty, it is the lifetime of the owner of the knife. For as long as the owner of the knife is alive, Buck will happily repair it and service it for the life of its owner. For those who accidentally damage their Buck knife, the company has the ability to repair or replace any parts on a knife for a small service charge.
