*Un-Used/Boxed* c1973 Buck Model 124 Frontiersman Bowie Knife with Leather Sheath. 22495. - 22495
A young Kansas blacksmith apprentice named Hoyt Buck was looking for a better way to temper steel so it would hold an edge longer. His unique approach produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. 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. Hoyt and his wife Daisy moved in with Al and his young family in 1945 and 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. A position we hold proudly today. The Frontiersman from Buck were produced between 1973 & 1985. This example has been kept in its original box from new. It has a beautiful Black Micarta handle and comes with its original thick black leather sheath with Buck decal stud, care card and ‘word from the chairman’.

The partners were Edward Henry Stacey, the son of a pen knife grinder, and James Townsend Henry, the son of a packer. Frederick Horton joined them and in 1856 the new partnership (Stacey, Henry & Horton) registered a silver mark at the Assay Office from Norfolk Street.
