FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Buck Knives Partners with Taylor Guitars
Famous Buck favorites now featuring genuine ebony handles







Post Falls, ID -- Friday, January 4, 2019-- Buck Knives, leader in sports cutlery, is excited to partner with Taylor Guitars, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of premium acoustic guitars, and take part in their efforts using a sustainable supply model for genuine Ebony handles on its key heritage products.

As of January 1, 2019, Ebony wood will be offered on the following Buck models:

110 Folding Hunter (standard & finger-grooved)
110 Auto
112 Ranger (standard & finger-grooved)
112 Auto
101 Hunter

Ebony wood was originally introduced on the 110 and 112 models in the 1960’s, but in the
1990’s, federal regulations on endangered woods led Buck to utilize resin treated woods.
Harvested under Taylor’s thriving conservation project, Buck will again employ the use
of ebony, a natural material with beautiful grain patterns that provides customers with a
nearly indestructible knife handle.

“We are excited for this opportunity to work with Taylor Guitars,” said Chris Brooks, Director of Brand Management at Buck Knives. “Buck Knives was built on old-fashioned values with a commitment to quality, reliability, and preservation of our resources for future generations. We are excited to help support Taylor’s Ebony Project, one Buck at a time.”

Checked the website and it is showing the new 110 & 112 knives with the Crelicam™ ebony handles. Just ordered one of each hoping they are indeed the ebony.
 
I wish the 113 would be added to the list. I need to replace the one that was stolen and that would be sweet.
 
This is great news! Ebony is one of my favorite cover materials.
Edit to add- read the story, it makes me want to get an ebony knife even more!

This is exciting news. I just wonder if the use of ebony on their standard production knives will mean a price increase. If so, that's fine with me. I guess the dymondwood is now only on custom 110/112's? I have grown so use to that material that I sometimes forget the natural weight and feel of ebony. Both are durable and will last a lifetime. Way to go Buck! :thumbsup:

Incredibly smart and responsible decision. Ina previous life I sold guitars for a living and Taylor is a great company to work with...Kudos Buck.
Here’s hoping for an ebony and copper BCCI edition in the future.
