Hoyt Buck's first knife， made from a worn-out file blade in 1902， was a fixed blade and for many years all Buck knives were fixed blades. Now， over 100 years later， Buck Knives continues to offer a comprehensive line of fixed-blade knives， ideal for field and work. For the outdoorsmen who prefer the absolute solid feel of a fixed blade， Buck's best-selling Model 119 Special ® sets the standard by which the others are measured.
