Buck 703

Hoyt Buck produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt and his son Al moved to San Diego and set up shop as H.H. Buck & Son in 1947. Al Buck revolutionized the knife industry in 1964 with the infamous Model 110 Folding Hunter. The company's innovative history and attention to quality have made for many great collectible knives.

Buck 703

Post by tallguy606 »

This is a small thing but bugging me. I got a basket case Buck 703, pre 86, two of three blades totally missing, really trashed and worn out. As I was playing with it, a bolster just fell off. So I was wondering - on the all-stainless models - how were the bolsters attached? I see no sign of solder/braze, no extra pins, nothing.

I have had a few of the 300 series apart and back together and on those the stainless steel liners and bolsters are spot welded together.
