How Many Countries have Buck's been made in?

[DocT]

1. How many countries has Buck contracted in to make knives?

2. How many knife models have been made in Japan? I know the Ecco large and small were made there. Any others?

Are you counting the SwissBuck knives made by Wenger?

That's a good question. So, were at 4 right now. DM

Also, some were made in Taiwan (ROC). I have a 229 UltiMate Ocean and a 559 Fishlocker from Taiwan. This probably doesn't count, but sheaths have been made in Mexico.

Some of the Mini BuckTools were "assembled" in Mexico. I don't know if this qualifies as the parts were made in the USA. Some sheaths are made there.

Current China line of course.
Steel made overseas count?

 

[afishhunter]

Don't forget those made in The People's Republic of California

 

[DocT]

So, we now have USA, Switzerland, China, Taiwan, and Japan. Did I miss any?

It might be fun to collect a good representative of each country.

What models were made in Japan? Taiwan? Switzerland?

 

[DocT]

Wait, were the Moderne models made in France or am I confusing another knife?
