Did Buck Knives Stop Being American?
Published: 9 hours ago
Did Buck Knives stop being American? It's the question every US collector is asking — and the answer starts right here. Buck is a legendary American knife company, but this Buck 371 carries a different story: made in China.
This is the 371 Stockman — a three-blade folder with a sheepsfoot blade, spey blade, and clip-point blade, in jigged bone handles. It's compact, it's functional, and it's got that classic Buck DNA. But it also proves that Buck knives are now made offshore.
So what does that mean for you? For some, it's a dealbreaker. For others, it's a way to own the Buck name for less. Either way, it's a conversation every knife guy needs to have.
Does the country of origin matter to you — or is a good knife just a good knife? Drop it in the comments.
