Any Relationship between Buck & Buck Bros?

[Stainz]

I know I have used Buck Brothers wood lathe turning chisels, skews, & gouges for three decades+... they have a 'buck head' symbol between 'Buck' and 'Bros'. I also know they started in MA ~150yr back. Were they ever related to our present-day BKCI? I know they, too, had a Charles Buck - ca 1877 - who split from the original brother. They made woodworking edged tools - chisels, plane irons, drawknives, even screwdivers. I remember seeing their woodcarving sets and firmer (bench) chisels, too. Just pondering...

staniz..
that queston i also asked Joe in atlanta...
esp as i had some other information that provoked it other then jest names..

the offical answer was " ..we get asked that all the time,, and to our best knowlage no they are not.."

the addational info was jest as you stated ...
also there were a LOT of Buck names regersted in Sheafeld England as blade smiths.. also it was a common for a lot of natave americians who also used that name as their english name... no diffrent then wolf , eagle or horse...
wow what a thought ... natave americians makeing americian knives!

the question that i have is what was H.H. Bucks fathers name
and how he came to be in Kansas...
there in lies any possable connection...
{{ Joe can you ask Chuck what his great grand fathers name was?}}

There is an outstanding painter named Luke Buck. He does mainly water colors. He must not have been any good at making knives. I do own one of his originals.
