First, let us learn about the two kinds of knives separately
Buck Knives is an American knife manufacturer founded in Mountain Home, Idaho and now located in Post Falls, Idaho. The company has a long history through five generations of the Buck family from 1902 to the present day. Buck Knives primarily manufactures sport and field knives and is credited with inventing the “folding hunting knife” and popularizing it to such a degree that the term “buck knife” has become synonymous with folding lockback knives, including those made by other manufacturers.
The Benchmade Knife Company is an American knife manufacturer in Oregon City, Oregon. Its products are sold to numerous markets, such as everyday carry, outdoor sporting, cutlery, rescue, law-enforcement, martial-arts, and military. The company has collaborated with a number of custom knife makers since its inception.Benchmade started in California in 1979 as Bali-Song, changing its name in 1988 to the Pacific Cutlery Corporation. In 1990 the company moved to Clackamas, Oregon . In 1996, the company moved to a 144,000 square foot facility in Oregon City, Oregon . Benchmade became known primarily as a manufacturer of butterfly, or balisong-style knives, which it continues to manufacture. These knives have been so identified with the company that Benchmade has registered “Bali-Song” as a trademark and logo . Benchmade’s original Bali-Song design by Jody Samson was awarded Blade Magazine’s Knife of the Year Award in 1979 .
Next, let’s make a comparison
The knife manufacturing industry has become increasingly competitive, but Benchmade and Buck are two of the most well known manufacturers in the industry, and both have continued to improve on an already impressive catalog of knives.
Benchmade and Buck cater to slightly different crowds. Buck tends to be on the more affordable end when it comes to price point, while Benchmade truly focuses their efforts on premium steel and premium knives.
Buck is synonymous with reliable outdoor/camping knives that any boy scout can rely on, while Benchmade really hones in on quality and caters not only to the gentleman needing a high quality every day carry blade, but knife collectors as well.
Picking between these two manufacturers really means picking between cost & quality. Benchmade is on the higher end quality wise, but like any consumer good — you often get what you pay for. Benchmade knives are premium knives that are extremely sharp, right out of the box.
You can’t go wrong with a Buck knife, especially if you are on a budget. While they do have some higher end options, Buck mostly carves a name for themselves as manufacturers that also respect that most Americans have a budget.
Bottom Line: If you are tight on cash, Buck is a perfect choice. If money doesn’t matter, few knives have the same quality as a Benchmade knife.
Engraved Buck 110 Hunting Pocket Knife
If you’re looking to add a personal touch to your knife, you’re in luck. This knife comes with laser engraving included. You can get the word or phrase of your choice inscribed on the front of the blade. It’s a great gift idea for a friend or loved one or the perfect way to separate your new knife from the pack.
From its recognizable brass bolsters to its striking clip point blade, it doesn’t get more iconic than the Buck Model 110 Hunting Folder.
It’s not hard to see why this knife appeals to so many different people. The Buck 110 features a handsome Dymondwood woodgrain handle and brass bolsters, giving it a classic look that’s easily recognizable.
With an included black leather sheath, this knife carries the legacy of Buck to its core and stands as an example of the best in pocket knives for the casual user or working professional.
A testament to the quality of the knife is also evident in Buck’s “4-Ever” Warranty. Buck is so confident in its flagship knife that once you’re in the Buck family, they promise you’ll never be let down.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the Buck is overflowing with the stuff. Part of the reason why it’s so easy to recognize the 110 is because it’s been mimicked by countless manufacturers. In fact, the 110 has become so prevalent that any large folder in this style is now generally referred to as a Buck knife.
But, one thing’s for sure, nothing beats the original.
