THE LIFE of a Legend Te Buck family, the Buck Knives company and millions of outdoors lovers lost a very special man with the passing of Charles T. (Chuck) Buck, 78, February 6, 2015, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Born May 13, 1936, in San Diego California, to the late Alfred and Ida (Shapter) Buck, Chuck was a man of deep faith. Chairman of Buck Knives, Inc., Chuck personifed the warm family tradition of the American knifemaking company he headed. He was the third generation, following his grandfather, Hoyt Buck, who made his frst knife in 1902, and his father Al Buck. Afer his discharge from the U.S. Navy in 1961, Chuck learned the ins and outs of the knife business and was there when Buck Knives, Inc. emerged. Within a few years, Chuck was named corporate vice president for manufacturing. In June of 1979, Chuck became president of Buck Knives at age 43. He was later inducted into the Blade Cutlery Hall of Fame in 1996. Chuck handed over the business to son, CJ in 1999 but remained active as Chairman of the Board until his passing. Chuck's determination, faith and passion touched the hearts of many and his legacy is one that will continue to guide the company through many generations. table of contents 04 NEW PRODUCT PREVIEW 06 ABOUT BUCK our knives 08 HUNTING 28 FISHING 34 TACTICAL 42 SURVIVAL 46 RECREATIONAL 54 EVERYDAY 500 CB PEARL DUKE 66 LEGACY page # 69 accessories / other 70 DISPLAYS 71 SPECIAL MARKETS 72 SHARPENERS 74 BUCK GEAR 76 BUCK PRO STAFF 78 SALES TERRITORIES 79 ALLIANCES & INDUSTRY PARTNERS www.Facebook.com/BuckKnives www.youtube.com/BuckKnivesTV www.Twitter.com/EdgeOfALegend www.Instagram.com/BuckKnives CHARLES T.
