The Buck Knives Custom Knife Shop: Craftsmanship Since 1902

By Buck Knives

For over a century, Buck Knives has stood at the forefront of American knife craftsmanship. Renowned for our quality and durability, Buck Knives have become a staple for outdoor enthusiasts, collectors, and everyday users alike. One of the most exciting aspects of the Buck Knives experience is our Custom Knife Shop, where you can create a one-of-a-kind tool tailored to your needs.

“My great grandfather was a custom knifemaker, and the knives he would design were very utilitarian, driven by the customer’s requests. The handwritten correspondence, it was a connection with your customer. It was an understanding of what they valued and what they didn’t, so that connection is what we really wanted to regain by opening CKS, the Custom Knife Shop.” – CJ Buck

History of the Northwest – Edward Pulaski and the Great Fire of 1910

“We reached the mine just in time, for we were hardly in when the fire swept over our trail. I ordered the men to lie face down upon the ground of the tunnel and not dare to sit up unless they wanted to suffocate, for the tunnel was filling with fire gas and smoke. One man tried to make a rush outside, which would have meant certain death. I drew my revolver and said, ‘The next man who tries to leave the tunnel I will shoot.’ ”- Edward Pulaski
