Buck Knives 147 Saltwater Fishing Fillet Knife with Titanium-Coated Steel Blade

In 1902, a young Kansas blacksmith apprentice named Hoyt Buck was determined to find a better way to temper steel so that it would hold an edge longer. His unique method led to the creation of the first Buck Knife. Using worn-out file blades as raw material, he handcrafted each knife, which proved to be invaluable during World War II. After finishing a stint in the navy, Hoyt's eldest son Al moved from the Pacific Northwest to San Diego, California. In 1945, Hoyt and his wife Daisy joined Al and his young family, setting up shop as H.H. Buck and Son. When his father passed away, Al continued the custom knife business until incorporating Buck Knives, Inc. in 1961. Al introduced his son, Chuck, to the knife business at a young age, and both Chuck and his wife, Lori, were involved in the company's incorporation. Buck Knives solidified its position as a leader in the industry with the introduction of the Model 110 Folding Hunter in 1964.

Over the years, Chuck worked his way up the company, eventually serving as President and CEO before passing the reins to his son, CJ, in 1999. Chuck remained active as Chairman of the Board until his passing in 2015, while Lori continued to serve on the Board of Directors and remained involved in Buck promotional events throughout the U.S. Inheriting Chuck's legacy, the company stands proudly as a leader in the field.

The Flexible Fillet Blade features a 9" (23cm) titanium coated 5Cr15MOV Steel Blade that can be easily sharpened and delivers excellent corrosion resistance, edge retention, and strength. With an overall length of 14.45" (36.7cm) and a weight of 4.4 oz (36.7cm), it offers exceptional quality. The knife also boasts an anti-slip grip, with an ergonomically shaped rubberized handle for a positive grip in wet or slippery conditions. Additionally, the injection molded sheath has an integrated belt loop for safe and easy carry. Buck Knives has stood behind the integrity of its products since 1902, offering a lifetime warranty on all knives.
