Being in the landscaping business, I frequently have a need to use my blade to cut through various materials. After going through several occasions where my cheap Home Depot bought knife broke down or was so dull it was ineffective, I decided it was time to do this right and get a decent knife. It doesn't take much investigation online to determine that Buck Knives are the most respected knife brand on the market today so I bought a Redpoint model Buck Knife. When I got my knife I could tell right away just from the sensation and look of the Buck Knife in my hand that this was a fantastic purchase. This knife performs so well for me, I bought one as a reward for each of my employees. I'll tell you a little bit about why I think Buck Knives are the most excellent on the market.
If you read a little about the history of the Buck Knife you recognize why they are so respected. Company founder Hoyt Buck crafted the first Buck Knife in 1902 in an effort to find a way to temper steel to hold its edge longer.  As a blacksmith apprentice, Hoyt Buck worked with the raw materials by hand making each knife that became a mainstay during WWII. The innovation of hand making knives that held its edge longer than any other forged the Buck name as a leader in the industry. The fact that the company is still family owned and operated by third and fourth generation Bucks tell you that the faithfulness to innovation, quality and service will never waiver and still leads the industry. This is evidenced by the lifetime warranty you get on every Buck Knife you pay for.
In 1964 Al Buck (son of Hoyt) revolutionized the knife making industry when the Folding Hunter Buck Knife was introduced to the market. The folding and locking mechanisms were features that all knife users immediately loved because they worked so effortlessly and unfailingly. By adapting the folding and locking mechanism to such a wide selection of knife styles, Buck solidified itself once again as industry leaders.  
Its atypical to find a corporation in any industry that has been around as long as Buck Knives yet is still willing to proceed and make improvements to an already successful product. Once you own a Buck knife and are part of the family, you know without a doubt that you own the best knife money can buy. And the next time you buy a Buck Knife, you insist on nothing but the best there is. Ask any knife collector about their knives and you can assure Buck knives are a key part of the assortment. The limited edition Buck knives can be considered family heirlooms and passed from generation to generation. Even your most used Buck knife is built to endure for many generations.
In conclusion, it's the family oriented approach this company has taken that has forged its reputation as being the most rugged and dependable knives on the market. Once you use one, I'm sure you will have the same opinion.
