Since 2013 Knife Rights has worked to Rewrite Knife Law in Tennessee starting with our signature Knife Law Preemption. In 2014 we worked with our legislative friends and Tennessee Sheriffs to repeal the state’s ban on switchblade (automatic) knives and carry of knives with blades over 4 inches.

Governor Bill Lee has now signed Knife Rights supported SB 172 that repeals the ban on carry of pocket knives by adults voting on school grounds on an election day. At this point, Tennessee is one of the most “knife friendly” states in country. Read more

POST FALLS, ID— While many American families continue various honored traditions, Post Falls, Idaho-based Buck Knives continues many traditions as well, including the manufacturing of various traditional—or classic—pocket knives. In yesteryear, these knives were carried by nearly everyone and were used to cut hay bale twine, punch holes in bridal leather—and possibly for whittling–and other routine chores.

Most of those classic knives were two- or three-blade models that could be easily slipped into a pants pocket and pulled out when chores or items needed cutting or trimming. With names like Stockman, Cadet, Deuce Trapper, Toothpick and Canoe, you know these knives were also carried far and wide by outdoorsmen.

To get a better look of these time-tested classics, visit www.buckknives.com and look at the provided details of the three-blade Model 301 Stockman or the Model 303 Cadet. The Cadet has three blades, including: a 2 ½-inch clip blade; a 1 ¾-inch sheepsfoot; and a nearly 2-inch long spey-style blade. These traditional pocket knives are around three inches long when closed and are available with a black Valox or rosewood handle. Some of these traditional pocket knives have single blades, like the Model 379 Solo and the Model 385 Toothpick knives. If you slip one of these traditional knives into your pocket, you will be joining a growing number of knife carriers and users who find that size meets function in these gentlemen’s pocket knives.

The knives are arranged in categories by interests, such as legacy, hunting, every day carry and outdoor uses.

POST FALLS, ID— There are many reasons to own a knife, and if you select a quality knife, it should last a lifetime. Buck Knives offers more than 150 knives which are built by craftsmen in the company’s state-of-the-art facility in Post Falls, Idaho. The company employees who travel to trade and consumer shows frequently hear from collectors, fans and customers that their first knife was a Buck knife—and often times the iconic Buck Knives’ Model 110 Folding Hunter was that first knife. Reports are common that the customer has owned and used that knife for decades. Quality and craftsmanship in a knife ensures years of quality service.

The average Buck knife often begins with a laser-cut or die-cut blade that then passes through many processes, including the famous Bos heat treatment. Knife blades and components can also be tumbled, cerakoted, ground and pass through numerous other steps on the way to final assembly and hand sharpening. Parts can also pass through CNC machines and other heat chambers to ensure handles are a perfect fit for the blade and knife design. Numerous knives are also pulled and checked in the company’s test facility—another quality assurance step.

The knives can travel more than a mile through the 180,000 square-foot-manufacturing-facility and pass through the hands of many craftsmen. Several employees at Buck have more than four decades of knife building experience and their craftsmanship skills ensure a quality product for each and every customer.

After each knife is hand sharpened and tested, the knife undergoes a precision inspection and final cleaning before it is inspected once again and packaged for shipping. Much of these final steps are a white-glove process and all details are given close attention. These many beginning-to-end steps result in the top-quality knives the Buck Knives factory is well known for designing and manufacturing.
