Gear 101 - Buck Knives Custom Knife Shop

Buck Knives has been innovating and making great knives since 1902, and 120 years later, they’re still making some of the highest quality knives out there. A custom Buck knife is an heirloom-quality knife you can be proud to pass on to your kids and their kids. And it doesn’t hurt that every knife is covered by Buck’s famous Forever Warranty.

Custom Buck knives make the perfect gifts for special occasions. Is your niece or nephew graduating from high school? Is it your 20th wedding anniversary and you want your husband or wife to have something lasting to remember it by? Maybe it’s a grandson’s first hunt, or your father’s trip of a lifetime? And maybe you don’t even need an occasion, it’s just time to treat yourself to something that’s made to your exacting standards. The Custom Knife Shop is simple, easy to use, the results are beautiful, and they last. Here’s how to get started:

• Open your browser and go to www.buckknives.com/custom-knife-shop

o 3 fixed blade knives
o 6 folding knives

• Customize the handle of the knife, with materials from ironwood to black palm, cherry wood to elk antler.
