Need help with Wikipedia article on Buck

[MatthewVanitas]

The Wikipedia article for "Buck knife" is a painfully generic article that basically says "People call most lockbacks a 'buck knife' "

Here's the original "Buck knife" article:

A buck knife (or buck-knife) is a kind of folding lock-blade knife, meaning a knife whose blade folds into its handle, as with a common pocket knife, but locks into place when opened, so that it cannot close unless the release is pressed.

The term is a genericization of Buck Knife. "Buck Knives" is a leading American maker of knives of many sorts, but it is especially noteworthy for producing the first really successful folding lock-blade, introduced in 1964.[1] Folding lock-blade knives and "Buck Knife" thereby became strongly linked in the public mind, and the Buck design was much imitated, so that a buck knife, in common understanding, has come to mean any folding lock-blade of like design, even while Buck Knife is yet a trademark and not limited to folding lock-blades.[2]

I'd like to turn it into a full-length article, the same quality or better as the articles about Benchmade, Kershaw, etc. Something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyderco

If any of the Buck fans here could lend a hand, that'd be awesome. You don't even need to be a Wikipedia member to edit an existing article, just hit the "Edit" tab and get started. Don't worry too much about the formatting, I can go back and tweak that later.

If you have any citations from a book/article that "prove" the info you add, please put that in as well.

If you're totally uncomfortable with the notion of editing Wikipedia, you can also just post the info here and one of us wiki-loving folks can put it up.

How about it, can folks come up with some good info to add in? I'll start the ball rolling by hacking the skeleton out of the Spyderco article and overlaying it on the Buck article, as well as putting a re-direct for folks looking for "buck knife" rather than the actual company "Buck".

Thanks for any ideas!

EDIT: I've changed the title to "Buck Knives", and here's the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Knives
