So, it would appear that Hoyt Buck understood tool steels, working on heat tempering hoes and making his first knives by hand out of worn out files.

It would also appear that Buck moved into making production knives in the 50s and iconic Buck 110 came out in the early 60s, made out of stainless.

So, the question is, did Buck ever produce or sell (made by others, like Camillus) knives made out of 1095 or tool steels like D2 and if so, what models?
 
How long ago do you need to go back in time to find one? Any idea when they stopped?
 
Who knows?

They may still have a few D2 blades laying around in a dusty corner somewhere.

:)

I lucked out last year.
